Idle problems
I have a 2001 E250 and it idles low when started, sometimes stalling out. I don't know if its an its an air intake problem or what. Any suggestions on what I can do would help. Thank you.

Without the codes, this can get expensive.

IAC, MAF, EGR, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, etc.

Sounds like the IAC isn't working properly. Pretty common.

The IAC can be removed and cleaned. I did this on my 99 EXP last year and haven't had any problems. Vehicle had 142K on the ticker.
