I have a 2002 Ford E-150 van we purchased recently. When I am coming to a stop and just before I am stopped I get a rough idle almost like it wants to stall but doesn't. Once I am stopped it is fine and does not do it anymore. I have noticed that occasionally now when I go to take off from a stop it hesitates just slightly but not every time.

Hi momof2monkeys,

The idling system is not working efficiently.

You need to check the spark plugs and give the throttle body a cleanup.
