86 2.9 Ranger, won’t idle when hot. Idles fine when cold, but once it’s warm it needs very slight throttle input while running. My thoughts are IACV, because if I unplug that while cold it idles just like it does when it’s hot.
F-Type burnouts for your time

Yup, pull it and try cleaning it to start.

It sounds like you have a problem in the engine area.

That’s what I was thinking. Probably has to do with the car. Could be the engine area, could be the rest of the car.

Most likely, it's something either metal or plastic.

Throttle cable came slightly loose maybe? Try turning it a quarter turn tighter?

If you unplugged the IACV then the motor is always going to sputter right? That’s why it’s there. Sounds like you have a vacuum leak. But I’d do the normal things: plugs / wires / air filter / fuel filter / ignition / fuel pump / look for vacuum leaks / intake gasket / etc. etc. etc. Did ford ranger forums not show anything helpful?

Well, I cleaned it, and it idles WAAAAY better now, so that was at least part of the problem.

when in doubt check vacuum lines. I kept having a weird thing on my 914 it would be hard to start, run rich and then run lean. I thought it was the Aux Air valve. anyway swapped the AAV and if semi fixed the problem before coming back. then it returned. I was double checking to make sure all hoses were on tight when I touched one random vacuum line and my idle instantly smoothed out. it was also one i had to undo to change the AAV, and again had loosened up over time.
lesson: if they are old, change your vacuum lines
and if new, get some hose clamps and snug them up
