Sounds normal. Has this just begun or has it just become noticeable?I have a 2003 ranger and when I'm running the defroster the engine idle drops then goes up when I'm stopped and in gear.Any help would be appreciated.
compressor going on and shutting down is normal ...Alot of good advice.I checked the freon pressure and it was alittle low.Tha compressor was coming on then shutting off,and maybe this is causing the trunk to idle funny.I added a can and it's still doing the same thing. What is the IAC valve? I will check that next.
Sounds cheap to me. Good thing he doesn't need that idle solenoid for an EFI TB you suggested. I hear they are no longer produced... :frown:If you don't have any video with sound of your issue, I fully believe you will be wasting $66 bucks.
slow down and read pal. Like I told him. it is 100% NORMAL for ALL Fords built after the early 70's to Activate the AC compressor when the heater control knob in DEFROST mode. (Unless the Ford does NOT have AC....)There should be a solenoid on your throttle body that bumps the idle up while it's in AC mode which includes the defrost position. If yours does not, then you simply need a tune up to make the engine run a little better with the AC compressor on.
Do you ever post without calling others names?You FOOL, I never suggested he get an idle solenoid! Read my goddamn words before jacking off in your reply.
Below is what you posted-I said exactly this! slow down and read pal. Like I told him. it is 100% NORMAL for ALL Fords built after the early 70's to Activate the AC compressor when the heater control knob in DEFROST mode. (Unless the Ford does NOT have AC....)
You implied that there was a solenoid. This would cause the original poster to go out and look for an electric motor which hadn't been used since CFI.ALL FORDS late 1970's on up, actuate the AC compressor when in ANY defrost mode on the dash switch.
That is the power fluxuasian you are feeling.

I have extensive hands-on. And I didn't say the IAC was at fault. Another poster jumped on that song and dance.With some hands ON knowledge of these things you'd have grasped that factoid very quickly!!!!!
Service the IAC and check basic curb idle RPM.Ok I'll try a tune up.It only does this when the ac or the defroster is on,but this morning when I drove to work with the ac and defroster off,when I stopped and put the truck in park,the idle dropped to the point were the truck almost stalled?
I saw what I posted kul, but YOU misread what I WROTEDo you ever post without calling others names?
Below is what you posted-
did NOT imply that. but I DID fail to mention that it's computer controlled through the IAC motor, WHICH my dearest friend, is NO REASON to REPLACE the IAC motor!You implied that there was a solenoid. This would cause the original poster to go out and look for an electric motor which hadn't been used since CFI.
no they will not, but they WILL ensure a good foundation for a diagnosis!And no, a simple tune-up will not mask the symptoms of a bad IAC.
calling me a liar will get your lip fattened!You are simply a liar Gary.
You will do and say anything to cover your a$$. It is lack of character and not fully any fault of your own. [\quote] I got more character in my thumb than you do in your entire body pal. I don't tell folks that buying a $66 dollar item will likely fix their problem if there are other things to be tested cheaper and first!I get fired up when you are a dikweed. If this guy keeps having issues I will and CAN go there and show him how to clean his IAC, and change it should it fail to work properly, and show him hot to test the voltages going to and from the IAC motor. What can you do?If you would stop and think before you hit the reply button attempting to be cute with your butt buddies here, you wouldn't need to get yourself all fired up and pull an OBAMA.
I do not post to attempt to be cute. I am a natural beauty.
laughing at you FE , trying to be like the moron klutz ?You FOOL, I never suggested he get an idle solenoid! Read my goddamn words before jacking off in your reply.

If there is NO solenoid, it's Compensated by the IAC motor and controlled by the computer, but that STILL is NOT an indication of the IAC motor going bad!
With some hands ON knowledge of these things you'd have grasped that factoid very quickly!!!!!
klutz , you should like mitt r , he likes wind jobs and you like blowing smoke to hide your stupidnessDo you ever post without calling others names?
