need help
Hello,
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer. It starts fine, but as soon as I take my foot off the gas, it stalls. It did it about once a week, but now does it all the time.
It runs great, doesn't miss a beat when I'm on open road, but of course, at stop signs or traffic lights, when I take my foot off gas it stalls.
There is no check engine light on and the mechanic said the sensors and stuff were okay. I've also replaced the plugs.
Any ideas?

Do not use carb cleaner, it damages the seals in the TB and idle controller. Use throttle body cleaner instead.
