I have an 94 Ford Escort (Fuel Injected) that's giving me a bit of problems. It starts fine cold but when I start it warm it idles so low when I rev the engine a bit in park/neutral that it almost stalls.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea what this is. I was doing some reading today and I believe it's the Idle Air Control valve? Do you think this may be the culprit or do you think it may be something else.
Thanks in advance Rob
We experienced a problem where our 93 escort would not idle correctly, it seemed to surge at IDLE and would almost stall, especially when warm. Found a leak in the line from the PCV line at the manifold, The connector TEE had deteriorated.

If mine were dirty I would ignore that warning. I think it's so they can sell more IAC's. On my 1984 Escort GT they were made to be easily cleaned.
Wow thanks for all the help. I'm going to look at things tonight when I get home I'll let you guys know what I find.
