My truck is starting a little hard. Then when I give it gas, it revs up, but when it idles down it goes all the way down and dies. This was happening a couple weeks ago, found out the truck was completely missing the o2 sensor. Replaced that, ran for about a week. Is now dying again. I believe it may be the idle air control? but I am no mechanic and could use some advice. Thank you for this service very very much.
