Thanks for the response, I found the problen part, just as I suspected it was
the idle air control valve.I had replaced it but the symptom persisted, turns
out the aftermarket replacement has to be installed in the reverse position as
the original part, and the parts salesman at autozone failed to advise me of
that little but very important bit of info. which caused me great grief for two
days.I had asked a freind that works at a Cerritos Ford parts dept. and he told
me that only the black idle air control valve would work,and if autozone sold me
the silver one,it would not work and I believed until Ilooked around for the
black one at other auto parts stores cuz Ford wanted about $100.00 and the
aftermarket was $55.00, anyway I found an auto parts the claimed they had the
black one so I went to buy it but when they showed me the valve it was the same
one I had (silver) but the parts man did tell me it had to be installed in the
reverse position as the original. I went home waited for
my wife to get home from work, as soon as she pulled into the driveway I popped
the hood open, didn't wait for it to cool down, removed it and reversed it
started the engine and WHOALA! PROBLEM FIXED.So I went back to autozone to
return the idle pos. sensor $38.00
