Re: ESCORT help ASAP PLEASE!
IAC Valve(Idle Air Control). It's the little black motor looking thing on top of the throttle body. Pull it off (8mm screws I believe), turn it over, fill it up with some carb cleaner and let it sit overnight. The next morning, rinse it out good with some WD-40 and put it back on. Don't tighten the screws/bolts too tight, as your going into aluminum and it strips easier than steel.
Then go to AutoZone and have them check you computer for codes.
