Ah- I'll have to remember that technique. So if you have a manifold
leak, the carb cleaner gets sucked in thru the hole, changing the idle.
Interesting...

I have a 2000 explorer at around 70,000 mi it had all the problems you
described. Thanks to Google Groups I found that these explorers tend
to have problems with the lower intake manifold gaskets. I got the
Ford Dealorship to replace it free even though it was passed warranty.
I read that you replaced the upper, but the lower may be the culprit.

Do you think they would replace a 1996 with 100k?? Thanks Nel
