Idle Problem

I have a 1988 Bronco with the 302FI. the odometer shows 106,000 & it has run fine for the last year. All of a sudden last week it will not hardly idle (does not idle up at cold start), & just barely stays running with the air on or with the steering turned hard. what should I check for first? Thanks

If you don't have the check engine light coming on, I would clean the IAC valve. Pull the throttle body and IAC, get some carb cleaner and a old toothbrush. Scrub out all of the varnish and carbon. This does alot more than you think.
