00 2.5 Auto - Idle surging/Clicking Ignition Relay
2000 Ford Ranger XLT - 2.5 automatic 94k miles
Engine is surging up and down at idle. Undriveable. With each stumble or surge of the idle, the Ignition Switch/Starter Relay clicks. Relay tested (+/- 40ohms and slowly drops) also, relay clicks when replaced with the A/C relay. With the relay removed and ignition on, clicking continues from the top side of the transmission area. Havent been able to pinpoint where exactly.
Ive replaced the IACV twice, new plugs and wires (tested), new MAF, as well as injector 1 and 2. Issues started AFTER replacing injector 1. Replaced again due to faulty suspicion. No change.
Battery is strong. Alternator is strong.
Im at a loss. Any advice helps. TIA!
