Explorer Stalling when Idiling

Hey folks...

You helped me before so I am hoping we can go 2 for 2. I have a four door XLT 4.0 L....1999. The truck starts fine but stalls when idiling. I give it gas and runs fine until I switch it into drive and it stalls again. Is this the fuel filter? Its been about 1 1/2 years since I changed it. Am I going down the right path? If so, is this hard to replace by myself?

Thanks,

Brian

Hey Brian,

Get a spray can of Gumout and check you IAC. 10 minute job.

stealthone....

Thanks for the quick response. Do I need to take apart the IAC and spray with Gumout? If so...how? I'm a rookie and need a little help.

Thanks again!!

Brian
