P1507 means "Idle Air Control Underspeed Error". It can be most commonly caused by a vacuum leak, a damaged Idle Air Control (IAC) assembly or a stuck IAC valve that needs cleaning. Essentially, your engine isn't idling at high enough according to your computer's programming parameters. Many times this shows up in colder weather as you try and start your vehicle. It will usually die unless you put your foot on the gas pedal and raise the RPM's. I have also read where a clogged air filter might be the problem. I would try cleaning your IAC valve first.

How to fix fault code P1507

Possible causes
- Faulty Idle Air Control (IAC) valve
- Idle Air Control (IAC) valve harness is open or shorted
- Idle Air Control (IAC) valve circuit poor electrical connection
What does this mean? Tech notes
The P1507 code means that the engine idle is out of factory specification. Sometimes the Idle Air Control (IAC) may have carbon built up. Disconnect the car battery, remove the valve, clean, re-install valve, and drive the vehicle for about 5 minutes with the headlights and A/C ON to get the idle relearned.
If the problem persist, the IAC valve may need to be replaced.

Ck engine codes

Possible causes for P1505 & p1507
Faulty Idle Speed Control Actuator valve, harness is open or shorted, Idle Speed Control Actuator valve circuit poor electrical connection. No the codes are not related to the EGR. P0198 is related to the engine oil temperature sensor. By the way you should use a meter as supposed to a test light. The test light will not be able to measure 5 volts reference or voltage drops. However I would try replacing the affected parts based on the codes and the info you've provided. Good luck.

3 codes came on P1507,P1504and P0175 what do they and what do i do to fix it myself

P0175 indicates an overly rich condition on bank 1, and with the air delivery codes posted, this may resolve itself when the issue causing the other two codes is addressed.

P1504 and P1507 indicates problems with the Idle Air Controller valve. The Ford manual suggests to check the resistance across the two terminals on it. The IAC valve is under the plastic engine cover. I circled it in red on an image here for you.hurckesj.jpg

Codes don't show up

p500=Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction (VSS)
p1540=VSS Signal Too High
P1507= Vehicle speed/Idle Speed Actuator
Speed sensor is faulty or has a bad connection.

Engine light code P1507: ''manf cntrl veh spd idle speed control auxiliary inputs'' and P0306: ''cylinder 6 misfire detected''. this ranger resitates press gas. where do i start?

P1507 is "Idle Air Control System Underspeed Error". This code indicates a problem with the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly, harness wiring for the IAC or the Powertrain Control Module. So checking the IAC next is the most logical step.
