Hello,
Ever since I bought this truck (1988 Ranger 2.9L), I've had idle issues. It usually idles pretty high (1000-1200 RPM when warm) and it surges a little. Also, sometimes when I am backing out of a space, it stalls without warning, but restarts fine. Also, when I am driving it and shut if off at a gas station, and restarts, the truck stumbles and almosts dies, going down to about 400 RPM, but recovers.
So what should I have a look at? Throttle body and IAC were cleaned not so long ago, it gave me better throttle response but didn't solve the idle issue. For some reason, the motor will actually idle where it is supposed to, with no surge.
Thanks
