I have a problem with my Ranger where it will stall at idle. It isn't consistent though. Sometimes I'll have to sit for 2 to 10 minutes and it will then stall, or it will just stall when I let off the gas. And it appears to happen more frequently when it is cold outside.
First off, it's a 1995 Ford Ranger STX 4x4, Ext. Cab., 4.0L with Auto Trans. At first, my problem was that I couldn't get the truck to start without putting my foot on the gas peddle. I scanned it for error codes and had one for the EGR Valve. I replaced that and the starting issue was fixed, but then came the stalling problem.
I then replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor because it appeared to have a burned element and it was dirty, but that did not solve the issue. So I brought it to the Ford dealer and they just replaced the IAC, but that didn't fix it (man am I pissed about that waste of $). My next idea is to replace the Throttle Position Sensor. There are no error codes whatsoever. If that doesn't work, I'm fresh out of ideas.
