2000 Ford Excursion Won't stay Running!

Hello everyone, I'm new, and glad to be here.

I have a 2000 Ford Excursion. Its the 6.0 V10. (Gas)

When ever its cold out side, it just wont stay running unless I'm on the gas. If I'm backing down the driveway, it dies. If I'm cruising at 20 MPH and let off the gas, it dies. It has ~90k miles on it. When its above about 60 degrees F, it runs with no problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,
William

Ok, no need for this, but I love this smilie.

You wouldn't have any instructions for the install?

Thanks!

Thought the V10 was a 6.8?

I had the same problem. you can replace the IAC or just clean it. It likes to get stuck. It sits behind the throttle body. there are some instruction in the V10 forum. I removed my and removed all the deposits and have not had a problem since. Probably should have replaced it, and will next time.
