Re: IM LOOKING FOR A IDLE SPEED SOLENOID FOR MY 1984 FORD...
If you cant find one at a auto parts store or dealer. go to a local junk yard to see if they have one, its much cheaper then the dealer. but try a auto parts store first!

OK, so is it still setting the codes? Or has that gone away with the transmission harness repair? The idle is controlled by the Idle Air Control (IAC) solenoid. Ford has had a lot of trouble with these. However, the symptom is usually low idle speeds that cause the engine to stall. I think I would be looking for vacuum leaks. Ford 4.6L engines are notorious for the PCV hoses leaking at the elbow where it connects to the back of the throttle body.
1-4-2-5-3-6 Now you need to know which cylinder is which. If you stand at the front of the truck looking at the engine, the number 1 cylinder is on the left closest to you. The left bank has cylinders 1-3-5 and the right bank has 2-4-6. So number 1 is at the left front and number 6 is at the right rear.
It is on the plate that moves and attaches to throttle cable. This plate rests against the idle screw. Turn clockwise to increase and counter to decrease.
most likely a sticking idle air control motor.It is the round log solenoid bolted on the side of the throttle body. Try tapping it with a hammer first to see if this un-sticks it. If so this is your problem and replace it.
