Help
I'm new to this so here it goes. Ibought a second hand 2000 Ford Explorer xls, and have had idle problems at cold start. This is what i have done so far. 2 bad 02 sensors, IAC, Thermostat, spark plugs and wires. When it's cold it's hard to keep it going, but once the truck has warmed up to operating temp it's like there's nothing wrong with it. But latly i have noticed that when i start it cold i can see my driving lights flucuate while i try to keep it from stalling. I'm tired of taking it to the garage due to it's costing a fortune. All in all i really like my truck and would hate to get rid of it. Any body have any idea's what to do Thank-you to whoever reads this. Marty.

Wecome to FTE.Have you tried the forums?there is a forum for explorers.and im sure theres somone on there thats had problems like your having.
Here ill give it a shot.You said that youve replaced the 02 sensors.Has the computor been reset?
There may be a problem with the maf(mass air flow)sensor.
