#23 of 27 Variable idle speed '99 Explorer by slickster

Feb 03, 2010 (5:28 pm)

Automatic AWD 4.0 V-6. Drove the same engine 240,000 miles in a '92 Ranger. Bought the Explorer [110k] last summer & love it EXCEPT: when idling in Park, swings between 800 and 1200 rpm without touching the gas? When idling in drive [stop light, etc.], stays about 800. Sounds like something simple, I hope? The mileage is less than I expected and this is probably part of it.
 
Thanks, guys!

Have a 1999 explorer that had a ticking noise in fuse box. Car ran rough for a while and now won't start and does not have any lights or gauges working. Any suggestions?

I have spark. She cranks. Iac valve not stuck shut but open about 1/2 inch. Haven't checked codes. Need to get it to a code reader. With ether it almost wants to start. I have reset the computer twice with disconnecting the battery 30 minutes each time. Maybe didn't reset it right? I checked for spark and it got that.

last week the motor developed a random issue, the check engine light came on it was a 0300 code which is a random missfire, everytime you start it it has a very rough idle almost like its fighting itself, i cleared the code changed plugs wires coil pack exhaust everything i could think of and it still hasnt helped. The check engine light hasnt come on again and if it was something electronic you would think it should, i have had several mechanics look at it also and they said it could be fuel injectors, or the computer, ive tried to check the injectors but the intake is in the way and im not sure where the computer is located, Also ive been told you can get the computer tested?
