Idle Problem
#3
(03-27-2012, 10:32 AM)Platinum6316 Wrote: I'm having a rough idle problem.
when the engine is cold, it idles fine, but after a good run on the highway, it idles like crap ... almost stalling and running rough.
Changing the plugs helped a bit.
I'm wondering if the TPS or the IAC valve has pooched.
Any ideas?

Could be those things - I assume we're talking Zetec. Have you cleaned your MAF lately - no vacuum leaks?
