2001 Ranger Idle
I recently purchased a 2001 Ranger with 4L V6. When started it would instantly rev to 2200 RPM then settle down, but during steady-state operation and at stop lights it would change idle speed approx 200 RPM. I was told to clean the idle motor on top of the throttle body, which I did, as well as clean the butterfly. Now it revs to 2000 RPM at start, settles down, then back to 2000 RPM. If I touch the gas it stays at 3000 RPM. If I unplug the idle motor it runs and idles fine, but the check engine light is on and the valve at the air filter box actuates when the idle valve is unplugged. Can I run it with the valve unplugged until I get it fixed? Which direction should I go to troubleshoot? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
