My 5 speed Ranger has been showing intermittent check engine signals - they go away, then return, sometimes after a couple hundred miles, sometimes after just a few miles. I need to pass a smog test to re-regiister, and the light would not go away- the code on my scanner was for excessive idle speed. I checked the connection to the IAC, and they seemed OK, so I replaced the idle air control solenoid with one from NAPA. I then erased the codes on my scanner and started the engine, letting it idle in the driveway for about 15 minutes ( 37 degrees F outside temp. ) I saw that there was a code so looked it up and it was for excessive idle speed. Any thoughts on where to look next for a solution ?
