Ranger 1998 V6 3.0L jumping idle and stopping engine
Hi I have a 1998 Ranger splash with the V6 3.0L and I have been getting weird problems with the engine.
Problems:
While driving at 4000rpm the idle jumped right back to 3000rpm if I press the gas and won't go over.
Then when I stop at a red light the idle drop frequently from 1000rpm to 200 or stops. It even does that after a few minutes when it's rolling at park in my drive way.
And the CEL is on and I check the code and it's linked to the mass air flow although even disconnected the problem is still there.
Thing I have tried:
I dried rolling with the mass air flow sensor unplug but it the car was still doing it while I could have seen a difference, I could now reach higher rpm's. So I tried cleaning it with a mass air flow cleaner and cleaned with a carburetor cleaner the IAC.
The problem is still there. I am currently changing the air filter and the fuel filter m'I doing the right thing? what do you guy's suggest?? where can the problem come from??
Thanks in advance to all
