Intermittent stall problem after engine start?
I have a 97 with a 5.4L engine. I am experiencing an intermittent problem where I can start the engine but it dies immediately; the RPMs drop immediately to zero. The engine eventually stays running but it make take anywhere from 10 seconds to several hours. Time between occurrences may vary from hours to weeks. I have not been able to make any correlation between this problem and environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity. I have had this problem looked at by 2 different dealerships and neither one can find the problem. This problem is not generating any codes. The last dealer's theory was the IAC motor/actuator. Has anyone experienced this same problem or have any theories? Any help appreciated!

snowback, I got your solution and it'll cause you about 192.00 to correct it.
If you don't get it fixed it will die on you and leave you stranded out on nowhere like it did on me three weeks ago. Remember that time I posted a start and die right away thread? I am on vacation in Maui now and will be back by Friday. I have the receipt in my garage shop and it's explained the situation and parts number. A special Autoxray machine will detect it and it is two parts that cause this. Not even the Rotunda machine they have at the dealership will detect this and it has to happen at the time to catch it which they did on mine.
Hold on and I'll get you the info.
