Default Idle Problems



I have a 2000 SC 4.6 that has decided to not idle anymore. It starts and runs fine and has steadily been getting worse when it comes to idle.

I think it maybe my throttle position sensor, but not sure. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice, sorry about the spelling - never was one of my strong points.

It just doesn't idle at all - not rough, just won't stay running at idle.

More then likely.. a broken IAC or extremely clogged fuel filter... my bet is the IAC considering it usually is the culprit 90% of the time.
