2001 f150 intermittent idle problem when starting

My 2001 f150 has a intermittent idle problem. Sometimes it will start and run normal, others it will start and die. Took to shop, they only found dirty fuel filter. Now it will start and idle between 300 - 600 back and forth and sometimes die after starting. Could this be a vacuum problem or ????thanks

CHANCES ARE IT IS YOUR IDLE AIR SOLENOID

  • buddahcanoe Dec 10, 2010

    I agree Idle Air Solenoid. Try rapping with a plastic mallet/dead blow hammer when it is pulsating and see if it smooths out. Easy to replace and not very expensive
