In order to troubleshoot this, you must start with a clean engine wipe down.


The major offender parts are


air intake gasket on the manifold

air tube after the mass air flow sensor

rubber seal under idle air control IAC motor

===

Warm up the engine for 15-20 minutes (LEAVE THE engine at idle) then spray a little Barmen carburetor clear on the potential air leak location (ONE AT A TIME) and listen for a surge in rpm.

If the engine speed go higher that's mean the carburetor cleaner (ADDITIONAL FUEL) got into your engine and that's the gasket you need to change.

There may be multiple leaky spots so take your time and check all rubber gaskets,sensor and hose that are lead into the intake manifold.

When you finish fill up with one tank of Chervon to clean out the injectors.


Try to get a toque wrench and tighten ever bolt on the valve cover back to specification. If you can not get hold of one then just give each bolt a gentle 1/6 turn.



Please post more information after your inspection.

2004 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 roughidle and stall on deceleration

it sometimes stalls when decelerating. Here are a few possible causes for these issues:

1. Vacuum leak: Check for any vacuum leaks in the engine. A leaking vacuum hose or intake manifold gasket can cause a rough idle and stalling. Inspect all vacuum hoses and fittings, and consider using a smoke machine to help identify any leaks.

2. Idle Air Control (IAC) valve: The IAC valve controls the amount of air entering the engine during idle. If it becomes dirty or faulty, it can cause a rough idle. Try cleaning the IAC valve with an appropriate cleaner or consider replacing it if necessary.

3. Fuel system issues: A clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning fuel pump can lead to insufficient fuel delivery at idle, causing rough idling and stalling. Consider inspecting and replacing the fuel filter if necessary. It may also be worth checking the fuel pressure to ensure it is within the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Mass Air Flow (MAF)

2000 Ford F-150 4x4 4.6 engine, automatic transmission. What are the symptoms for a vacuum leak intake manifold vacuum leak on it.

A vacuum leak in the intake manifold of a 2000 Ford F150 4x4 with a 4.6L engine and automatic transmission can cause a range of symptoms, including:
  1. Rough idle: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run rough at idle, which may be especially noticeable when stopped at a red light or stop sign.
  2. Misfires: The engine may misfire or hesitate under load, such as when accelerating or climbing a hill.
  3. Poor fuel economy: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, which can result in decreased fuel economy.
  4. Check engine light: A vacuum leak can trigger a check engine light, which may indicate a code related to the engine's fuel system.
  5. Stalling: In some cases, a vacuum leak can cause the engine to stall or die, especially at idle or when coming to a stop.
  6. Hissing sound: A vacuum leak may cause a hissing sound to be audible from the engine compartment, especially if the leak is large or near the intake manifold.
If you suspect a vacuum leak, it's important to have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible, as it can cause damage to other engine components over time if left untreated. A mechanic can perform a smoke test or other diagnostic procedures to locate the source of the leak and repair it as needed.

What would cause a 97 Ford Probe GT to idle rough and misfire at idle only Buck Run better when it's cooler outside and it also stalls when it has a rough idle

Check for any sources of unmetered air entering the engine. ( Vacuum leaks ). Check air intake hose going from air filter box to throttle assembly for any signs of splits/cracking causing a lean condition. Possible Air flow sensor dirty/defective

My 1990 toyota corolla idles rough. I raised the idle on the throtle body so engine wont stall. except for idle, car runs fine

Vacuume leak is very probabe, check vacuum hoses for leaks, gasket leak at intake manifold or throttle body etc. I like to use starting fluid and spray around a bit. If you spray it on a vacuum leak, your rpms will noticably go up.

Rough idle and stalls

sounds like a bad idle air control valve, but if its misfiring thats another ball game,then you may have a bad spark plug or plug wire.when was the last time this car was tuned? if its been a while then you may what to start with a complete tune up, also have the fuel preasure check as this would also cause this problem but if it rides fine and only runs rough at idle then its not the pump.now we are back at a tune up.

The motor idles a little rough and stalls when gas is applied.Is this a idle control valve problem or a mass air flow problem?

It looks like,both is possible.But is very expensive! Check first: Spark plugs worn or not gapped properly, Vacuum leaks, Uneven or low compression.....
