Good video! I've done this to a Ranger myself. If your vehicle fails to idle down when you come to a stop or take your foot off the throttle this may be your problem. Mine had a standard transmission and when you push in the clutch when stopping the engine would continue to race. Good simple fix. Thanks for posting!
ive changed all that, the vacuum lines, everything i can think of & my ranger still wont idle right & stalls. found out though if you get it up to about 40mph, the big oak tree in the side yard fixed it right up!
Very good IAC removal and cleaning video. From my experience owning a Ranger for 22 years is the IAC's either work or the continually fail after cleaning, its not worth the headache of a failure on the way to work or a road trip. I bought a brand new one on EBAT for 29.00 dollars.
great video ! looking for some advice on my 2000 ford 2.5l. i have a lean code, checked for vacuum leaks with a smoke machine. there was smoke coming out of the idle air control valve's(IAC) top/breaher cap/vent (not sure want its called), and on the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR valve) vents holes . wanted to know if that was normal?
after my ranger warms up when i come to a stop the idle drops to 400 rpm's where i need to give the gas pedal a nudge to keep what feels like it's going to die. if instead i put the car in neutral the idle elevates to a smooth 700 rpm's. I cleaned my IAC valve but there's no improvement. No engine light or codes. any thoughts? Tx!
Heater works with vacuum lines, check the vacuum ball below air box on passenger side, the lines are plastic and break off when they get brittle, if they are ok, check the lines in the glove box that go to your heater controls
If a code reader tells you that it's the idle control mechanism and you clean it like your video and you still have a really low idle towards stalls whenever the engine is warm does that mean that the unit has to be replaced I appreciate your help thank you
@@harveymanwarren1876 thats what happens with my 2.5L 99 - wont start until gas pedal on the floor.. iAC you say? Also when driving can just die until I do the same.

My air is only blowing through the defrost after I had replaced the evaporator core. How do I get it to blow back out of the vents?

I got my original one in my 1997 I wonder if this is going to help

Yes
I got the electrical components wet, is that bad?
Excellent video. Thanks.
I have a1999f150 is this going to be the same 46 v8?
Not exactly sure myself as I've only ever done this for my ranger but they appear to be similar. So its possible it would work.
The truck won't start only if you hit it with starter fluid
The truck won't start if I hit it with starter fluid then dies
Fuel pump
Hold the gas down a little. And it be air idle control valve

Clean the pvc values . oil from that getting in air cleaner tube
You got blow it out air hose after socking in gas 20 mins
Thanks for the great video .
Should have cleaned throttle body assembly and not just IAC's.
go buy a new motorcraft
