My son's Ranger has developed a problem which causes it to idle very high from a cold start, it shortly settles down, but still idles higher than normal. Also, idle sometimes slows way down and almost dies or will die completely. After that, it occasionally does not want to start. I have read similar posts that discuss cleaning the IAC, so we'll try that. Through trial and error, he found that disconnecting the vacuum line from a component (don't know what it's called) on the passenger side of the motor, on top of the intake manifold, next to the oil fill tube and plugging the vacuum line by hand returns engine to normal idle. I have uploaded a photo. Thanks!
