Got in this morning to go to work and it wouldn't start. I gassed it a little and it started right away, but died as soon as I took my foot off the gas. I'm totally clueless about cars, and my mechanic's closed today. Any ideas?? way2old Veteran / Moderator Nov 14, 2007, 6:12 PM Post #2 of 4 (2988 views) Re: '99 Ford Explorer, won't stay running Sign In Sounds like you may have a failing idle control solenoid. Itg is located on top of the engine and is easy to replace. Here is a generic Ford valve. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds (This post was edited by way2old on Nov 14, 2007, 6:13 PM) rpalardy New User Nov 15, 2007, 1:45 AM Post #3 of 4 (2984 views) Re: '99 Ford Explorer, won't stay running Sign In I had AAA come to tow it and the tow guy pretty much said it was the idle too. He said it was idling way too low, and that he would adjust it but that the screw was a little rusty and he didn't want to snap it. Such a relief because I was afraid it was a fuel system issue. *phew* Thanks tons for the insight (I'm seriously a total cartard.) and here's hoping it's something so simple.

Idle speed motor holds idle as told by the car's computer system. That motor ir bad info going to it would be the likely problem, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
