I have a 2003 explorer with 137k. I have replaced the plugs, wires, coil, and the manifold intake but the truck still idles slightly low at times as if it has a miss fire somewhere it feel like i have a vacuum leak. what am missing?

    could be the idle air control motor not working. you need to check it to see. have someone verify it for you before you throw more parts at it.
