Presuming there is no amber SES light on the dash a possible cause is the Engine Temperature Sensor, an ECT reading inaccurate but not enough to set a code. An ECT is relatively cheap and easy to install. The resistance values can be measured prior to replacement to insure that is where the problem lies.

- I have a similar problem, perhaps the same. I own a 2000 Explorer XLT ( 4.3 ) and though it fires up fine on cold mornings it will not stay idling without feathering the gas pedal. The "check engine" warning light is on so after checking I had the temp sensor replaced. Things were fine for a day or two then the light came back on and we were back to square one. Does anyone know why the temp sensor requires replacing again? What might be affecting it?
