misfire and high idle.. MAF? VAC leak?
misfire and high idle.. MAF? VAC leak?
so my 97 ranger 4.0 with 202k used to idle at 600 when fully warmed up but now its around 800-900 and i can hear a whistle that i think is a vacuum leak when i goose the gas pedal and rev to around 1500 then drops down to 400-500 and the whistle gets a lot louder then it bumps back up to 800-900.. i have a little video of whats going on.. any ideas? i tried to locate that whistle but all i can tell is its louder under the truck than under the hood.. i just noticed that when i unplug the mass air flow sensor the misfire goes away and the idle drops down to normal.. is it the MAF or something else causing a bad reading maybe? i guess a VAC leak would be adding un metered air could be the issue?
