I would be it would be one of your coils, you just needs to find out which one.If it was value spring it would go away after a few minutes when they cool down usually. I had taken mine to ford 6 times kept telling me fixed drive away same problem, went around my mates house he is a Expensive Daewoo tech (But drives a 450+ XR6T !) pulled up in his drive way had one listen went around the block he said coil. Told ford this, they said yeah didn't well tell you that we ordered one (Yeah right) changed been fine since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually quite common for this valve to get gummed up and slighty jammed, by carbon deposits, oil, and other foreign materials.This is especially the case if an aftermarket air cleaner, that is oil based (Such as K & N air Filters), as the Oil is slowly sucked in to the Idle speed controller, and slowly blocks off, and jams the air passage and Valve.Symptoms of a jammed, or dirty Idle Speed Controller include, · 1) Poor idle quality in cold temperatures. · 2) Engine stalling under load (Eg Power steering operation, Air Conditioning, etc), under closed throttle (Idle) conditions. · 3) Rough Gear changes on Automatics when changing from second, to first gear, (Engine speed surging). · 4) Engine RPM surging at idle, for no reason. (I.E. Engine increasing RPM to greater than 1000rpm, for no apparent reason).Cleaning the Idle Speed ControllerThe Idle speed controller can be easily cleaned, and is recommended if the above symptoms exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
