Engine died in heavy traffic-restarted idle went up/down died when put in gear
Trying to figure out how to repair a 2001 f150 4.2l 6 cyl. It was in heavy stop/go traffic when engine died- upon restart idle was jumping up/down and engine died when tranny put back in drive. Problem got better when air filter was removed. Truck set no codes during this mess and seems to run ok now with new air filter. However it did hunt for idle last time it was drove but never died. Any help would be great!!

Ok. I picked up Maf cleaner and will clean it. What should I use on the iac and throttle body to clean them? Also didn't mention before mileage is around 130,000. Thinking about changing coil, wires, and plugs while I'm at it.
