So my 88 2.3l runs as it should when started cold, rpm gradually decreased down to 700 or so when warm and idles normally. However once I shut it off for a few minutes and go back to start it when the engine is still warm, it hunts between 300 and 900 rpm and stalls out at stops. Runs fine when...

Running out of ideas with this one. When I bought the truck it idled normally. Now it idles cold at 700 rpm and warm at 1100. So it’s doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to. When I remove IAC plug when warm it drops to 700 and runs great ? It started idling differently after I replaced...

Hes getting about 24-25 mpg on the highway, which appears in line with fuel economy specs I've found online, but only about 15 in the city, which should be more like 19mpg according to the same...

Hey guys, I bought a nice old pawpaw owned ranger, low mileage, in good shape a couple months back, have given it a tuneup and timing belt change, but I haven't been able to figure out why the idle hunts slightly. It's also getting bad fuel mileage for the engine (about 15 city). The other...
