About 5 weeks ago, I had the issue of it not starting, The engine would turn, but wouldn't fire up and run. Eventually, after about 15 minutes of trying, it started, and has ran fine ever since. Just figured the ST gremlen was under the hood.
Today, same thing happened. While under the hood making sure everything was hooked up, and trying everything, I ended up unhooking the IAC, and cranking the engine, it finally felt like it wanted to go, I hooked it back up, and everything is fine. Starts right up. and has kept starting the last few times.
Otherwise, it runs great.
I noticed some other had this issue, but smelled gas, I did not smell gas under the hood either time when this happened.
Going to clean the IAC. Possibly replace it if it looks ugly. We'll see what happens.
Anything else I should look at? I replaced the IAC once before @ about 75K. I have 107K now.
2002 ST 4x4.
Update: Pulled the IAC. A little dirty. Will clean, and see if it happens again.
Thanks.
