00 Explorer Idle Problem

Just bought a 00 Explorer with SOHC 4.0. Just within the past couple of days on cold start up in the morning the truck would sputter when idling down (it totally died one morning) then rev itself back up and be fine. I changed the IAC yesterday and this morning still had the same sputter when idling down. Any suggestions? The truck is all stock with only has 35xxx miles on it.

Have you gotten a CEL? If so go to you nearest Autozone and have them pull the codes and then maybe we could be of some help. When was your last tuneup?
Wow just reread your post an 00 w/only 35xxx miles, my 00 is approaching 190,000!!

Could be throttle position sensor, EGR valve, PCV valve, spark plug or wire, idle speed control actuator, MAP sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter......
