WELL THE AUTO SENSOR, THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING A WORDY DIRD

JUST A WILD GUESS IS IT WILL NOT IDLE, BUT WILL DRIVE OK

WHY DON'T YOU REMOVE AND CLEAN THE IAC

ITS REALLY EZ TO DO

THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY WIFE'S '03 ESCAPE 3.0L

You've been relieved from duty-Report back after the Zzzzz's. Now start by cleaning the idle air control valve and the mass airflow sensor with an electronic cleaner the IACV with carb cleaner and see what happens-You got a long way to go -Do you have a check engine light and when was your last tune-up?
