Colder weather has arrived (10-20 degrees) and today the truck has developed an annoying habit of occasionally idling down when I come to a stop, then stalling. It starts right back up to only do it again...or not. The stalling is intermittant and only did so when the engine had warmed up.

Any thoughts and / or fixes?

Thanks in advance...Scott

 

yet another seemingly clogged IAC/EGR valve problem. Not too hard of a fix if you like to wrench on your truck a little. Had the exact same problem a month ago with my 4.6 w/ 73,000 miles. Do a search here in the Engines forum, and look for my thread, it should be between pages 5 and 10 by now, just a guess, Id do a search for "Rough Idle" to find it for sure. Lots of good information and pictures too. Made my truck run like a brand new machine, only thing it cost was about 4 cans of throttle body cleaner and 12 bucks worth of gaskets from the Ford dealer, and a 12 pack. Keep posting here, we'll help ya out!

 

Green_98...Thanks for the reply. I'll do the search for your thread and start playing inside the truck to take care of this annoying problem.

Love the looks of your '53.

 

thanks, and reply here to see if that was your problem or not.
The '53 will look lots better with the original wheels/tires back on it...that'll be soon....
