2000 explorer stalling in cold weather
Hi all. My 2000 starts OK but when the idle drops down after warm up, sometimes it stalls. I was thinking wires or MAF. What do you think? Thanks.

Idle Air Control (IAC) is a pretty common issue. When the truck doesn't stall does it idle smoothly or does it act like it has a vacuum leak?
Generally the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is screwed on to the side of the throttle body, no need for a gasket.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how to interpret this. The OP mentions his starts okay but idles slow/stalls when warm. For yours to have the same issue but be fine when warm, that would suggest it starts fine, idles fine when cold, and idles fine when warm. That would indicate that you have no issues.
If yours idles fast when cold but the idle drops as the engine warms, that would be normal assuming that the fast idle does not continue once you shift in to gear.
