Default 96 V10 idle issues

My V10 has suddenly started to have idle problems.......idles so low it wants to stall. It runs fine in higher RPMS, but when you come to a stop often drops down low enough to stall. My first thought was vacuum leak, and probably still is, but I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

Put a vacuum gauge on it to be sure. Inspect your check valves.


Good luck.

Clean your throtle body and IAC (idle air control), sometimes basic tune up is in order as well. Usually just time to do some basic preventative maintenance and cleaning of the sensors
