I have a 1995 Ford Explorer that when I start it, it runs a very high idle then after driving it for a while and sitting still it starts to struggle. The idle drops to about 400-500 rpm and dies. I removed and cleaned the Idle Air Control Valve. I can't figure this out. plus just recently my explorer was stolen and when I got it back the thieves cut all the wires from the after market cd player leaving the stock wiring harness. Now, the dome light doesn't work and the illumination is the only thing on the original factory stereo that works.

With IAC's Ford recommends replacement, not cleaning...is the check engine light on? As for the radio, it seems that one of the power wires is still not connected...
