4.6L V8 stalls at idle??? + other problems
Just picked up my '06 a few days ago.
Truck drove awesome for the first few days but tonight I wanted to clean off the battery terminals to see if I could get it to start up a little quicker.
I disconnected all the battery terminals and went for a drive, after putting in some fresh gas, the truck started stalling at idle. It did this 2-3 times and was fine for the rest of the night.
Did my disconnecting the battery cause a reset and the truck had to relearn idle?
Also, my anti-freeze/coolant is brownish/orange, is this a normal color? I'm used to seeing green.

Thanks!
The terminals on this truck were disgusting. Unfortunately it did not improve the start time, still takes 2-3 seconds of cranking to start up, definitely not as quick as my Honda but I'm not very worried. I have a snarling suspicion that this the original 2006 battery!

I believe it may also be caused by a vacuum leak as well as other things.

Hey guys...9 out of 10 times it IS the throttlebody, when i first got my 04 screw, mine actually had to be replaced becuase it would stall at lights and run rough. Also, I am at 140k now and awhile back it caused a check engine light to come on and I cleaned it and it was pretty gunky, but after cleaning it, the truck runs fine! Hope this helps you out!
