  • The PCM doesn't even see the O2 sensor until engine temp has reached operating temp,the vehicle goes from open loop when cold,to closed loop when warm,where the PCM uses the O2 sensor to measure the rich/lean of the exhaust content,and from that,adjust fuel richness to achieve 14.7 to 1 air/fuel ratio.So when cold,the O2 sensor is out of the picture anyways.When unplugging sensors,it can be deceitful.The PCM has a program whereas,if a critical sensor (such as the mass air flow) is somehow damaged and out of the picture,the PCM will substitue a generic value that will allow the engine to stay running.So,by unplugging the MAF,it did try to run on it's own better than plugged in,there's the problem area.The vehicle is running better with the MAF unplugged,because the MAF is likely bad,and the PCM is substituting it's generic value when it IS unplugged.Something to recheckThe PROM update is a newer program for the PCM,and likely won't fix it unless the PCM is bad.I would try a good used PCM as a last or later resort,because i have seen my fair share of defective PCM's too.I have taken some PCM's apart,and found capacitors that had gone bad and leaked all over the circuit board,mostly Honda and Mitsubishi and Chrysler though.Good luck,keep me posted.

sounds like your throttle positioning sensor is not set right so i would undo the two phillips heads that hold it and turn it till the idle doesnt fluctuate should be turned most of the way to the front of the truck. Also check your idle screw that throttle body could be set different.

If engine is actually running lean,could be clogged fuel filter or weak fuel pump.

Hello' With carburetor cleaner check for vacuum leaks around the rubber hoses coming off the intake manifold. Check for leaks at the intake manifold where it mounts to the engine. If engine speeds up when you spray that means you have a vacuum leak.

2003 ford explorer idle surged on me driving. Stopped and put in neutral went up to 3000 rpms. Fast idle now

Given all the electronic sensors that could cause this problem , your best bet is to take it to a qualified repair shop where they have advanced testing equipment . Just so you do spend all your money replacing parts ,,here is just a couple that can cause this problem ! Idle air control valve , throttle position sensor , vacuum leaks , map sensor . dirty throttle plate . mass air flow sensor . A qualified repair shop has a scan tool that can check data for all these sensors .

Hi guys,I have the 1994 eagle talon that idles rough.I replaced coil pack,did tune up an sensors.still idle rough

Possible vacuum leak. Check all hoses under hood for cracks/disconnections/leaks. Will be heard by a hiss type noise. You may have to scan computer to monitor sensor operating parameters with a scan tool to isolate this problem

What causes low idle on 2004 ford explorer?

Idle speed is electronically controlled and is not adjustable. Possibilities are throttle a.k.a. idle positioning sensor, mass air flow sensor, or vacuum leak. Please check all air intake components for obstructions or leaks first then move on to having sensors checked.

2007 kia rio losing power when going up hills

Random misfires could be gas related- low fuel pressure, vacuum leaks or air leaks upsetting the air/fuel mixture ratio, clogged air filter or fuel filter. Could be ignition related- worn spark plugs, possibly. Or could be an internal mechanical problem-possible valve train malfunction.
Start with a fuel pressure test. check vacuum hoses for leaks, check intake manifold and throttle body assembly for leaks. If you have an exhaust leak at or near the engine, can cause misfires. Air going into the engine is metered by the mass air flow sensor in the big air boot on the throttle body. If extra air gets into the engine through a vacuum leak or a loose hose, the engine computer won't know it, so the air/fuel mixture will be too lean, resulting in misfiring. Several things to check-good luck.

1991 toyota pickup dies when you release the gas pedal

There are couple of things I would check out that would cause this problem.

1. The Mass Air Flow Sensor. It measures how much air is going into the engine. Should be located on top of air filter box.

2. The air tube that goes from the Mass Air Flow Sensor to the throttle body. Check for leaks that would bypass air from going through the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

3. The Throttle Position Sensor. Located on the throttle body. This tells the computer what position the butterfly plate is on the throttle body. You control this plate with the gas pedal..
