2000 Ranger XLT RWD 2.5L
My engine will raise the rpms while driving to 2000 and generally get stuck there for a few seconds until the rpms go back down or I dang near stall it on purpose to get rpms down. I’ve tested the IAC, IAT, TPS, and MAF. Every sensor changes the idle when unplugged except for the IAT. Nothing changes when I unplug it.
I even took the sensor out of the intake tube while it registered 120 degrees at 94 degrees ambient temp (Bluetooth OBD 2 reader) in order to spray an electronics cleaner which brought the temp reading to 34 degrees. As it warmed up outside of the tube it went back to around 118 degrees. The point was to see if air temp changed anything about the idle. Nothing changed.
Any help is appreciated helping me figure out this idle issue.
