intermittent stalling, low idle

hey all,

i have a '97 explorer sport w/ the sohc v6 that has a intermittent stalling problem. seems to happen mostly while engine is coming up to operating temp. but will also happen at op. temp.

i cleaned the iac and ran some sea foam in the crank case. the problem seemed to go away, but now its back a few weeks later.

i had the intake manifold o-rings replaced about 60k miles ago via the owners notification (recall) process (dont have the tsb in front of me).

cel is not on.

engine is running fine otherwise. any suggestions?

tyia,
dana

Wolfmeister did a great write up on how to test the IAC.
