Ok so I have a 2001 4wd 4.6 triton it has just recently started sputtering when sitting still sounds kinda like its hittin a very low idle but its stayin right at approx. 700-1000rpm......the check engin light came on and the computer had both o2's ......which normally means mass air flow.......so I replaced it......light is gone and I let it idle for 10-15 to reset idle but its still sputtering........again it does this only when sitting still..........any ideas?

Replaced spark plugs and fuel filter......adding some dry gas today.......fingers crossed

Mine did this a couple years ago, ended up being a vacuum leak

I cannot be sure but this sounds like the Idle Control Valve is not working correctly. I would also check the less likely PCV valve as this is real cheap and easy to change (about $4 and 2 minutes to change).

ncpinball

doing this as soon as i get off the net. im holding off on the vaccum leak for now only because i need to do some research on how to check that myself assuming it can be done. thanks guys ill let you know

Ok so pcv valve......NOT 3.99.......try 21.98.......

Also not the issue
