  • nfb: what else to check?

    Recently my Trans Sport (info in sig) has developed a stumble at idle. It starts up and runs fine, but after the engine has warmed up and is at a steady idle the rpm's will drop intermitantly, about 200 rpm, sometimes the drop is enough that the engine will die. It does this in drive and park, no set time interval between drops. No SES or codes. I've replaced the fuel filter (it was only 8 months old). I plan on cleaning the throttle body and IAC this weekend. Could it be dirty injectors? EGR? What else should I check?
