Ok I have a problem
with my 2000 excursion. Every mourning when I go to start it up and let it warm up, it stumbles and acts like it is running out of fuel, but then picks right up. It does the same thing whem I get ready to leave work.

Need more info. Is it a Gas or diesel? Does it only do it on cold starts after sitting over night, or everytime you start it? Any dummy lights?
If its gas you sould check the IAC and the pcv elbow under the tb.

Yeah do a search for IAC (idle air control) valve. That is a problem child that causes bad idle and stalling at idle. Is the truck a V10? If it is you will get tons more responses in the V10 forum, very smart guys down there. they know everything V10.

IAC valve
I agree with MadMedic. My Ex was experiencing the same problem.I was scared to death to take my 2000 EX into the dealer for fear of ......well you know.
Anyways, I called my local dealer and got an honest ''over the phone '' diagnosis from the service manager.He told me to replace the IAC valve which was something I had never heard of. Told me where to locate it and how easy it was to change.He said it is a VERY common problem on the EX's . $50 or so dollars and 20 minutes later Excursion ran like new. That was 2 years ago

I used to had a similar problem like yours. I had replaced the PVC and the IAC and it continue with the same effects. In the morning or after a long day when starting, the truck act like it was going to die and a few seconds later (abut 4 seconds) it idle fines... I took it to the ford dealer and it turns out one of the exhaust manifold bolt on the passanger side had broken off. At that time, I couldn't figure out how a simple bolt can cause so much hell to my Excursion but that simple bolt made a air leak. I can't remember exactly but think I recall a sound too.
Just a thought to keep in the back of your head.
