[QUOTE="John G, post: 906616, member: 63360"] My 2001 ST (Job 1 with SOHC engine, only 44k miles) has an intermittent problem with the idle speed. The engine generally runs fine, and the engine check light never comes on, but -- occasionally the engine just won't idle. Take my foot off the gas pedal and the engine rpms go way down -- way below 500 -- as if it thinks the idle speed should be zero, and the engine stops (unless I step on the gas). This doesn't always happen. For example, it happened repeatedly when I started it today, so I gave up, and 30 minutes later tried again and it ran perfectly. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
