A few problems

First off,my sons 1998 Explorer Sport has an idle problem.We just had the timing chains replaced (1800 bucks) and that got rid of the noises we heard,but the idle problem persists.

When the engine is cold,it idles very high then goes to a very low idle,back to high,back to low,etc etc until it stalls.

Once the engine is warmed up,it idles perfectly!

Any ideas?


Also,I have changed the shocks (front and rear) yet I still get a clunking sound when I hit bumps,and the back end seems to settle after I stop.Not sure if its bushings or what,maybe a common problem? I`d get him a different vehicle,but he loves this one and its worth the money to repair,IMO.
