2000 taurus wont idle

Ran great yesterday. This morning will not start without giving it gas. When you let up it dies. Sounds fine while giving it gas . Changed plugs ( needed them anyway) Fuel and air filters. Any Ideas

Mike opined in news:VD3%c.9183$w% snipped-for-privacy@newsread1.news.pas.earthlink.net:

Idle Speed Control, aka idle Air Bypass. the mechanism right adjacent to throttle. suspect solenoid.

Assume it doesnt idle even after warmed?

It was the Idle air valve . Loosened the mounting screws and made a gap for air to flow an woohoo we have idle. Took a little liquid wrench and cleaned it up and shes good to go. Mike
