My 97 Explorer will start right up and run for 5 -15 seconds and just die.It will start up again and the same thing will happen over and over again. Any ideas wouls be appreciated.6cyl ohc. thank You



Will it keep running if you keep your foot on the accelerator? If so, it is probably the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Simple to change out and can often get a little life extension by removing and cleaning it.

Thank you for your help. That was an easy fix.
