ford areostar idle very very slow

Unread post by lightspeed » Sun May 12, 2013 6:30 pm

my ford areostar seems like the idle is very slow , is their a way a person can adjust it or does it have to be on a computer in s hop to do that ? the engine doesn't die or anything but sometimes almost seems like it wants to and has a rough idle . engine is a 3.0 v6 year 1992. with a/c .

You might want to start by cleaning out the throttle body assembly. Years of carbon build-up can restrict airflow and cause the idle to be lower than normal and/or be rough/stumbling. Other than that, check the air filter, fuel delivery system, etc...all the basics.
