This is where I would go first.

That fixed my 4.6 Modular V8 in my Fabulous Town Car from a very similar issue… Only difference was mine would howl like a trumpet, and die, and idle rough.

Just a hint… disconnect the battery before you replace the IAC…

Could also be a fuel filter.. chances are you need to replace it anyway.

Thanks!

x2. My former work truck, a Ford Ranger developed an issue where it would not idle at all and it turned out to be a bad idle air control valve.

Carburetor shot and you need a new transmission.


Not really, plug into that baby and see what it's doing.
