F-150 problem

I got a 97 f-150...The thing sputters when stopped at redlights. When you put it in park at the redlight it stops and is fine. I replaced plugs and wires it still does it.

Any one have any suggestions on whats next to replace?

Idle air control valve. I need to replace mine as well, but my sputtering comes and goes.

Do you have the 4.6 or the 5.4??

On the 4.6 it is on top of the throttle body, pull the plastic cover off and you will see it.

On the 5.4 it is on the left side on the back of the throttle body, kind of hard to see and a pain in the *** to reach as it is about 1in from the fire wall, also take the plastic cover off first.
