Intermittant Stalls On Start

[ErikaTheRed]

I have a 1994 XLT. I'm at 115,000 miles and the last time it was serviced aside from oil changes was a few years ago for its 90,000 mile check-up. At that time they moved the idle a little lower. Since then when I start up the car it usually will idle quite high for a while; I give it some gas; then, the RPMs drop down. This has been the norm since my maintenance. Recently I've had problems with my truck stalling out right after it starts. The RPMs go immediately higher than I would expect and after a few seconds it stalls. When it begins to stall the check engine light comes on and stays on.

Battery seems fine

Belts are moving

Starter motor is obviously moving

These symptoms are intermittant. The weather is unseasonable chilly.

Since I have fuel injection I'm sure this is just coincidence, but after trying to turn it over several times I gave it a little gas and it started. Could that be related?

After reading other people problems I think it's probably has something to do with fuel regulation. I plan to replace the fuel filter tomorrow along with the PCV valve and the air filter (it's fairly old and dirty). If the symptoms persist what should I do next?

I appeciate any info you can give me. This is a great forum. Long live the Ford Bronco!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
