Service Writer,

Thanks for proofreading.I did it quick, but the signature is changed. Thanks for your sharpness.

I will clean the MAF sensor and see.

Do you think that it could be the Idle Air Bypass Controller?

If so, is it possible to clean?

Thanks.

Service Writer,

Thanks for the reply.

Is the IAB difficult to take apart? Is there anything I should look out for?

Thanks.

Vacuum leak. Check vacuum tree at rear drivers side if intake manifold for soft or disconnected lines

Guys,

thanks a ton for the advice, but not a problem since I posted. Unfortunately I was unable to clean the MAF and Bypass, but is on my list soon.

Thanks again for all the advice and support,
Franchise

Probably a piece of carbon that finally worked free.

Just a thought. I had an issue with my 1993 explorer where the engine would just die. There didn't seem to be any consistancy in when it died or any cause. It turned out to be the electronic engine control relay. It is a small box relay under the hood and it was about $4 back then.
