2000 Ford Ranger High Idle

This video is designed to address a high idle condition found in many ford rangers and other vehicles.

[@kingdomairjmm2911]

Thank you for all you do I watched a video of your on how to remove the heads and replace them. I was faced with this job and watched you 3-4 times and said I can do it. the job was on a truck that a brother in the lord sowed to us and the truck is still running fine today around 5 years later.

Dang . My 02 edge 3.0 v6 is not set up like this . The problem with that is this is the best explained video regarding a high idle on cold start only issue. I've changed all sensors and ran out of money for the pcv value. I must say it's quite possible the Teflon coating is gone . I did spray carb cleaner and found no leak . I do like your smoke machine. I did mess up and turn the screw . Put it back by bring the clean threads to the edge of the dirt . Do a video on an 02 edge lol 3.0 v6 auto . It doesn't mean to be a sinner , it's trying to follow the right path yet it's difficult living on the edge 😆

[@JBlake-moon-shdo]

I know this is way out if date. I really just want people to know that the device that he referred to as the throttle position sensor is actually the DPFE which controls the EGR valve. The throttle position sensor is located opposite the side of the throttle body as the throttle cable.

[@outfittersexpress]

This was a great video, very informative. I would like to ask that on your next video, if you do one, that you show how to test each component to prove if it is bad or not, before they chase parts. Titus 2:7-8

[@G-S-D]

The anti diesel screw. Also the throttle plate spring can get weak, can cause an idle issue

[@jst31n]

Carburator cleaner is safe to test for vacuum leaks as long as its done shortly after starting a cold engine. Spray it on hot exhaust manifold and you'll probably have a fire.

[@elricond.l.f1670]

Great video thankyou for that🙏🏽. Im not sure if you have stumbled onto this problem but, i have a 99 ranger 2.5l. Cleaned the throttle body, changed the idle control valve, air charge temperature sensor, filter and now my truck accelerates when i turn it on for like 5 seconds then idles normal, then i start to drive, as im coming to a stop, i put it on neutral (its stick shift truck) to slowly stop, but it keeps sounding like the motor is accelerating for like 5 seconds as well. And as soon as i come to a complete stop, it idles normal. Its concerning to me because it didnt do that before i did all that i did to it. Thanks in advance for your time!!

[@m.c.58]

Damn man, what do you use to clean up your engine and make it look so clean? Great video btw.

[@turdfurgeson1643]

Vacuum leaks are evil, that smoking cigar trick is genius.

[@light24bulbs]

Gosh this is a good well thought out video. My ranger 99 only idle's high when it's rolling and that goes to a good idle once it comes to complete stop. Apparently this is to make shifting easier while you're driving around but it's so high that it cant engine brake at all and it's just not good. Can you recommend which of these things to check first for that problem? Nevermind it's a vacuum leak for sure! My vents only EVER blow out of the defrost. So that's it for sure

[@miguelalonso2603]

hi Pastor, I have the exact same pickup as the one on this video, when I turn it on and is idle for 15 mins it kind of vibrates weird, not so bad and extreme, although not normal, may you guess what might be causing it?

[@kerrymercer4977]

Hi just found your channel. Got a question, I have a 1995 ford explorer 4.0. When I connect the plug to the AIC the idle increases to 2000 2500. disconnect the AIC and the idle drops back. I have replaced the AIC but still the same problem. Have not checked for a vacuum leak but I don't think that's the issue as all vacuum controlled devices seem to work fine. BTW love your channel, you are very good at explaining things. Got any thoughts or suggestions would love to hear them. Thanks

[@robertprudhomme9298]

That was the best video on car repair I have ever watched. Thank you. As soon as the parts store opens this morning I'm going down to buy the analyzer you spoke of. Just curious, how would a plugged air filter affect the idle on my 2003 Ranger V6? Praise the Lord

[@resurrectionauto670]

Glad to lend a hand

[@robertprudhomme9298]

Well I went to the auto shop this morning to purchase a can of MAP cleaner, as you recommended. On a whim, I purchased an air filter as well. I bought this truck used a while back and, when I got to figuring, realized "a while" equated to over 3 years. Funny how time speeds up when you get older. Anyways, I've never changed the air filter and, considering how many dusty roads I drove on this summer, I realized a new filter was long overdue. To make a long story short, I changed the filter as soon as I got home ( took a while for the dust cloud from the old filter to settle) and planned to clean the MAP later today when I got home. Imagine my delight when I fired up the motor and, after a minute, its idle settled down at a nice 800 rpm instead of the 1100-1200 rpm it's been idling at for over a year. Thanks again!

[@michaeljohn8905]

I work on outboard engines and I’m we have to do link and sync s on the IAC,s and Throttle body’s and f they are not In sync you will have a bad idle. I’m guessing that a high idle would not be indicative of a high idle but I thought I’d ask about it. We used a connect so we could read the output of the IAC in milli volts. My question is there a manual written way to do this ? I’d imagine that my 4 stroke engine Yamaha would be similar. It was an older one similar to this trucks age. Anyway Im looking for a manual that will show me this operation any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ps My truck idles at 2000 and then it settles down but now after it settles down it will stall out. I haven’t done anything to the truck yet I’m just doing my homework. Thanks again. I appreciate you making this video.

[@encryptorEJ]

I wonder what the 2 thin coolant hoses stemmed off the main lines (to heater core) are going to? Mine just wrap around the PCV Valve, which I don’t think is necessary.

[@Scolio]

I had an 86 crown victoria as my last car and its idle would dip and come back constantly, surging if you will and all of the lights would dim with the idle. I changed the IAC and it ran like a dream after that

[@scotthummel4248]

Ok, good info. If you have a vacuum leak, you should get a P0171-P0172 code bank one and bank 2. Which the maf sensor will cause as well. (4 cyl will just be P0171) but gotta love that homemade smoke machine! Did your ranger throw a code for the dpfe switch?? You would think it would for egr valve issue. Also, with my ranger i have found that aftermarket parts dont carry the same values as OEM so if it is available, i would use the motorcraft brand. Just saying. God Bless you sir for the informative video! Maybe one day you and I should do a collaboration video! SCOTT THE CAR GUY

[@jeffanderson8384]

Great video, Thanks. My truck revs when under load - going uphill or rapid acceleration and while it still pulls, it loses a majority of its pulling power. I will try to diagnose with these suggestions. If you have any other suggestions I'd appreciate hearing them. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment. Best of luck with your repair

[@johnpatmos1722]

Thank you. Clear explanations. Comprehensive. Jesus is Lord!

[@2thewilderness]

What happened to the days when you could just turn an idle adjustment screw? If the idle is low, what do you recommend?

[@resurrectionauto670]

Free America That is hard to say. I would begin by cleaning the IAC. .

[@2thewilderness]

Will do, thanks.

[@terryweekly4510]

It's not an ERG valve. It's an EGR valve . Emission Gas Recirculation valve.

[@CR8VE]

If you're idle air control was installed a quarter turn too much it'll actually want to hold your throttle body open a little bit also causing high idle.

[@DylanC828]

Sir, if you could answer my question it would be amazing. I have a 99 3.0 4wd, that idles at 2k unless I unplug the iac, then it quiets down to normal. I have replaced the iac and it hasn't made a difference. What could cause this problem? Did I get a faulty iac or is something else wrong? Thanks

[@resurrectionauto670]

Good question Dylan. I suspect you have a vaccum leak somewhere on truck. Best of luck with you repair.

[@troymays6300]

U have to reset the idle speed on iac to do this codes have to be cleared an the u turn key on for several minutes without the motor started n then off n then start motor that's so it knows where the iac's position

[@zero2blur]

Hello. I picked up a 2000 Ford Ranger V6 3.0L with Idle around 1700rpm. Then I cleaned the MAF and bought a new IAC. Temp sensor on the intake doesn't seem to fit very well, that could be a problem. I have not checked the TPS. I removed the throttle body and cleaned it with air intake cleaner. The new IAC works better and idles about 1200 without AC on. When the AC is on, then it rises up to 1500 and won't go back down, even when the AC is turned off again. I touched the IDLE Adjustment screw. :O But I put it back like you showed. 4:15 ERG?... you mean EGR? I might need to replace that. What do you think?

[@flilguy]

@1:01 what is that tube next to the sensor? Mine is getting dry rotted and I am having issues with a very high idle when it is cold. I had the idle air controller replaced in the summer of 2020. It will go to almost 3000 rpm when it is cold for a few seconds. It does this when I first start it cold and never did it until now. It also only does it when it has been set for a few hours. This all started when the weather got below 25 F degrees. The AC and heater work well so the vacuum on that end is good. My Ranger is 21 years old and it's starting to nickel and dime me too much. In this economy it's that's $250 for this $500 for that. My brother-in-law is a mechanic and I still can't afford it even when cuts me a break.

[@ckreitlein]

Mr Garner, My 1996 Ford RANGER 4.0 LITER ENGINE starts up, idles fine, then the idle slows and all is well. As I drive and the engine warms up, the rpm speed starts to increase on its own, up to perhaps 2500 rpms - really racing. I have to apply the brake to go slower. If I shut off the engine, it will not re-start....something that has never happened before... it always started easily. Do you have any idea what my problem might be? Thank you.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Chris. Great question. Honestly, I'm not sure. I would buy the OBD II reader I mention and look at the telemetry of the engine. It seems toe me that the computer is getting false information from a senor. I'm sorry I can't be of more help!

[@ckreitlein]

Westley, I have the obd reader, but it is not giving me much to go on....lean mixture and stuff.(p0340, and P0171) Not identifying a bad sensor....However, just a while ago I took off the whole MAF housing/sensor with the other wires and guess what.....started the engine and it ran fine for a long time....restarted each time at the right rpm, etc. never sped up. So tomorrow I am going to buy a new MAF and hopefully that will solve my problem...will let you know....thx Chris

[@resurrectionauto670]

Thanks for the update. I look forward to hearing if that fixes it.

[@ckreitlein]

Wesley, My truck is running very well now...not perfect, but much better than it has in two years. I changed the MAF and that made a big improvement, but the truck continued to refuse to start when warm. I then changed the crankshaft position sensor on the bottom from of the engine, by the flywheel pulley - in part because it was easy to get to, and finally I changed the idle air control sensor on top of the engine. All of that seems to have done the truck. It idles great, better than in two years, and it starts up perfectly every time. I still get a code p-0340 which is the camshaft position sensor, and I would change that too, but it is too difficult to get to...I would have to pay to have it done....must remove the intake manifold I think to change it, and that is more than I want to do. At any rate, I drove the truck all over yesterday, stopping a lot, etc and it ran great. Just thought I would let you know in case other's had questions.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Chris Kreitlein Fantastic. Glad it's running better. Good job on the repair!

[@zacharyfunk217]

Where does it talk about setting your throttle body adjuster screw if it is not where it should be?

[@paulgarcia2625]

I put a new tpm sensor and a iac sensor and took off my throttle body and cleaned it up and reset my computer by putting my battery cables together and it worked great for 2 days and now its back up to 1500 rpm..can it be my maf sensor I didn't replace yet?

[@djmajiktuch82]

Hey thanx for all the info on high idling but my ptoblem is when my ac is on i get high idling. Normally with no ac on it idles at 780 790 rpms but once the ac is introduced it kicks up a little but as I accelerate it kicks up to 1500 rpms and stays that way. Any idea why it does that? Thnx.

D.J. Moore Good question DJ. I would think a good idle speed would be around 800 rpm

[@ctbale1]

Power steering pressure switch stuck on will make it idle high. But not on the 4.0 because it doesn't have one

[@L8NiteCoffeeSips]

When you attach the hose to the intake, do you have the vehicle on?

[@joebird1400]

Lol...yes

[@351cleavland]

My high idle was coming from 2 places-after replacing my EGR Vacuum solenoid valve my idle lowered AND one of my exhaust manifold bolts had snapped thus causing an exhaust leak. The EGR solenoid was working but "lazy" as many sensors are want to do after years of service. Ford exhaust manifold bolts from the early 2000s are known to be of a poor quality, as are many of the Big 3 manufacturers. They can and do often break through the heating and cooling of normal engine operation.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Thanks for the comment and good information.

[@ddk5327]

Thank you for this video if you cleaned your throttle body with throttle body cleaner and it started to idle high how do u coat the throttle plate again ? Please help !!

[@resurrectionauto670]

Good question Devin. I wouldn't worry too much about using throttle body cleaner. It's more likely that you have an issue with the IAC or a vacuum leak.

I have a 02 Ranger 3.0L that sometimes has a high idle only after I drive and put it in Park. I have to restart the truck for it to reset the RPMs to normal. Also, not sure if related or another problem, but it has a small vibration on start up, almost like a misfire. It's not a constant vibration like a bad motor mount will give you. I have changed plugs, wires, ignition coil, fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve and have cleaned throttle body, IAC valve and MAF sensor. Still shakes. No CEL. Any ideas what I could be dealing with?

I know this is old, but did you ever find that problem out, mine does exactly the same, replaced about the same also

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

@@bryandunn4886 if you’re referring to the high idle in park then no, unfortunately. The problem is very rare that it’s impossible to diagnose so I just learned to live with it. The other issue came from an exhaust leak in the manifold gasket.

[@bryandunn4886]

Yes the high idle, other day I cleaned the iac even that it ain't that old, then i sprayed a little bit of seafoam intake and valve cleaner in the little vacuum hose that runs to the canister on the left side facing the engine, been 3 days with out it doing it,don't know if it lubricated something, or loosen some gunk loose, but also has not got back in the 90+ degree weather, maybe something to try , I'll see if I can get back here in a few weeks with update

[@ScoundrullonYouTube]

I'm a little late to the party since this video is 7 years old but I have a 1996 Ford Ranger XL and I just replaced the IAC valve but now as I'm driving if I let my foot completely off of the accelerator I noticed that the car does not decelerate it remains at the same speed for about 4 seconds and then it lets off, I did not have that problem before I swapped the IAC so is there any explanation to that? Anything I can try that I haven't tried already?

[@Imhim907]

Is it still doing it because usually after you replace it it takes a couple drives for the trucks computer to start working with it and learn how to do it right again because it was used to a faulty iac

[@TheDeadbirdy]

How about "CRC Throttle Body Cleaner"?

[@stephenbeasley9913]

At 4:15 you called the EGR an ERG. It's an Exhaust Gas Recirculator.

[@MrWd2528]

I have a 98 2.5 ranger with no A/C and idles around 1000 rpm. Could the mere fact that i do not have A/C cause the idle to be where it's at? Thanks.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Good question. No I don't think that would cause the high idle.

[@barrybrandonio418]

The temperature sending unit to the computer can cause a high idle too

[@resurrectionauto670]

Good comment! Thank you

[@martystevens3969]

A bad CTS can cause high idle. Warm the engine first. Check the oil and radiator first. After replacing parts, recheck the codes.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Marty Stevens Thanks for the post Marty. What is a CTS?

[@martystevens3969]

Resurrection Auto Coolant Temperature Sensor. If your CTS is acting up, it can cause the engine to run rich or idle too high. They go bad slowly and gradually causing your car to use gas. A Actron CP9690 code tester tests live, graphing, smog readiness test, record, oil light turn off, and MORE! It has cables for OBDI for Ford G.M., Chrysler and 2 Toyota. It has a cable for OBDII. It has a cigarette lighter cable. It comes in a black pouch with instructions. You can get a battery adapter to hook up to the cigarette lighter from EBAY. It can check sensors with the engine off like MAF, IAC valve, EGR open percent, RPM'S, oil pressure, coolent temperature, fuel pressure, vacuum, oxygen sensor voltages, charging system voltages, etc. The Snap-on Vantage does a whole lot more! It can show wiring diagrams of sensors, check ignition voltages, It can check codes. It's better than a code tester to REALLY find out what's wrong with a car. It's advanced for a beginner. It'll show tune-up specs. It'll show your plug firing voltages and can easily pick out a bad cylinder. The spike will be high or too low. It's a All-in-one IF you understand the readings. I would've bought one instead of my Actron CP9690! The cost is a little bit higher. EBAY has it.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Marty Stevens Thanks for that information! I didn't know that.

I have a 1998 ford ranger 4×4 with a high idle I fixed some of the vaccuum hoses that was bad still didn't fix the idle, I'm not getting any air blowing out of the front vents at all the air only blows out of the defrost could there be a vacuum leak under the dash or could the no air coming from the front vents be a blend door motor problem

[@resurrectionauto670]

Great question Brian. It's almost certain you have a substantial vacuum leak. If you purchase the OBD11 reader, you can actually read the vacuum pressure on your phone That will confirm the problem. The smoke test may be the best way to actually find the leak.

[@mbrian1972]

8 ball I had the same issue with my 2001 ford ranger 3.0 truck come to find out it was a small hose (on mine it was cut I have no idea why) that is connected to a black,softball size ball that's attached to the fender. That ball should have two vacuum lines comming out of it. one line should go straight into the fire wall and the other should be attached to a vacuum line supplying vacuum. These lines are very thin and made out of plastic and can become brittle in time.

What could cause a 3 minute high idle after start up, summer or winter, everytime a warm engine sits for 10 minutes on a 2007 ford ranger 3 litre v6. Once it drops to normal, around 750 rpm, it stays there. It is only at start up is does this. Scan tool shows nothing.

[@resurrectionauto670]

That's a great question. It's not a vacuum leak. I would check the Throttle body sensor and MAFsensor

When I push clutch in I get high rev rpm about 3500 rpms

[@robertblunt9517]

ERG...AHEM...EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculator) freudian slip...is ok...

I know right? lol I had to see if anyone else was annoyed enough to say anything about it before I did =)

Thanks for your video very interesting on the car part. P.S. Trinity came from Babylon! Hosea 13:4/ Isaiah 45:22/ Exodus 20:3

[@dariendudley9716]

I unhooked the IAC until I can get replacement seems to run ok better than pulling up to light pushing in clutch and engine idling 6000 rpms minutes plug it in wow 100 miles a hr. Mind these truck are nothing but junk to me

[@gtenthusiast98]

When I start up my ford ranger it has an AIRY SOUND and so when I speed up and shift the air sound is gone, btw it’s an automatic it sounds like a diesel when it’s not, only happens when I’m driving slow Why is there an airy sound? And how do I fix it? Note: it’s at 206,000 miles😂

[@resurrectionauto670]

It's hard to know without being there. You might first check for vacuum leaks. Best of luck with your repair!

[@gtenthusiast98]

Resurrection Auto thx man I appreciate it

[@SimmoneOrganWorks]

@@gtenthusiast98 It could simply just be your fan. On my Ranger (3.0) its the same way, sounds like a diesel on startup and revving/accelerating below 2500rpm when cold. Does it get any quieter when the engine is at operating temperature?

[@gtenthusiast98]

Zacoon it does get quieter at normal temp, thx for your help man

[@kenberscheit480]

now we know what makes vehicles "smoke" they have a nicotine habit , so simply find the cigar and remove it to stop your car from smoking???? its an EGR valve as in Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve and it cuts emissions and helps the engine warm up

Great to hear!

Just bought a 2006 ranger from a christian pastor. He boasted about the new spray bedliner he just had installed 1 month before. And how he had them spray it extra thick. 3 weeks after buying it, needed to change the third brake light bulb. Bed felt extremely spongy when I climbed in. Turns out his extra thick bed liner was to hide the fact the floor was rusted out. After further checking, found numerous things that he doctored up to get it to sell. Now I have a spotless dent free super low mile pile of junk.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Jim, I so sorry for your experience! That is just terrible. Please let me know if I can be helpful with any of your repairs.

EGR , not ERG valve! D A!

[@noshynosh3249]

So clear an explanation but I can't take that squealing in the background. I'm out.

[@theoptimist7807]

you dont need religion just understanding and treat people with love i dont need a god to teach me to love another human. i love myself and all human life but i will never worship as i was created a free man not a slave . if thier is a god that would punish me for not worshiping him instead of seeing that i am a loving human spirit than i rather suffer for what i believe than being forced to do something i do not believe..

[@halfstep67]

You won't find no greater love than Jesus willingly sacrificing His life for you so that you may inherit eternal life, You were born a slave to sin, sold under bondage.. Only through Jesus Christ can you find freedom. God is not going to punish you, you are willingly rejecting His FREE gift of eternal life. Your punishment is self inflective. God has never sent anyone to hell, people go to hell because they choose to. Your self-dependent good deeds is not satisfactory. But trusting in the finished work of the cross is satisfactory. Jesus did the work for you since you are incapable of doing it yourself. Trusting and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures is what is required to actually be saved and have real freedom.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Thanks for the comment. You raise a number of good questions about Christianity and I do respect you position. CS Lewis addressed some of these concerns long ago in a piece entitled "Man or Rabbit?" Here is a link to a KZbin reading kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrJg2SsiN2Be7M Perhaps you will find it helpful. Either way, I hope you were able to get you vehicle repaired.

[@charlesspangler4286]

I thought I was living a good life and I tried to like and love everyone around me. But then I met Jesus and everything changed. I cannot explain how much happier I am today than I ever was before. I now know what true love really is. Jesus love me enough to give his life in order that I may be saved and have eternal life. And talk about loving my fellow man I have never felt like this before. It is wonderful. Everyone should at least give it a try and I can tell you right now your life will totally change. John 3:16

[@basanistes359]

The burden of proof is on you. No proof of god has ever been given.

[@resurrectionauto670]

Thanks for the comment. There are several reasons to believe God exist including the cosmological argument, the moral argument, the teleological agrument and the ontological agrument. William Lane Craig has done a nice job articulating each of them. You might check out his website Reasonable Faith. Hope you were able to get your truck fixed.

[@johnsaunders4836]

Great video but I have to say so you mean to tell me you can only be saved and enter the kingdom of God through Jesus by acknowledging Jesus you have indigenous people all around the world that has never heard of Jesus Christ so you mean to tell me they’re going to hell help me figure that one out I believe everyone is saved already if you want to call it that

[@resurrectionauto670]

John Saunders John, thanks for the comment and great question. I won't prent like I have all the answers but historically Christians have responded to that question in a couple of different ways. You might check out the work of William Lane Craig on his website Reasonable Faith. Either way I hope the automotive portion of the video was helpful.

[@bootyman234]

Amazing how you can be so pragmatic with a vehicle yet so emotion driven with your belief system. Jesus may not ACTUALLY have existed!

[@resurrectionauto670]

Thanks for stopping by my channel Anthony. And thank you for the comment. Your objection is answered well in this article by Dr William Lane Craig. You might check it out sometime. www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/jesus-of-nazareth/the-evidence-for-jesus/ Nonetheless, Best of luck with your repair!
