hey guys,
first time post on the gas engine side of the fence, so go easy on me. my 96 explorer sport (4.0l v-6) seems to be having a little engine trouble. the engine cranks fine when i go to start it up, but it wont fire unless i give it a good bit of gas while cranking. if i keep my foot in it till it fires, then take my foot off of it, it idles right down to 0 rpm and stalls out. if i keep my foot on the gas, it will continue to run normally until i take my foot out of it again. replacing plugs, wires, and fuel filter tonight. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Where it seems to start and run fine when you open the throttle a little, that suggests to me that you have a problem with the IAC valve. Try cleaning it.
hey, thanks for the input. ended up being the tps sticking. took it apart and manipulated it a little bit and the truck idles and runs fine now. thanks again.
