1994 Escort Idle Issue

[zero_superman]

On my Escort, if I'm in Park, Neutral, or even idling in motion, the RPMs will bog way down to about 500 and the engine will die. I've adjusted the idle and replaced the fuel filter. Where should I go from here?

yes a vaccum line check the brake boster ,also the idle air control vales always go bad on these ,its on top oh the throttle body two screws hold it on clean it with brake parts cleaner or try to unplug it and see what happens i the idle goes up its bad if the idle stays the same its bad .

Im actually having the same issue with my 94' escort but it happens when I have my A/C on. Should I check the same things stated above? or would my problem be completely different?

Also, not to hijack the thread but i've also been noticing my "check engine light coming on every so often, usually when I am on the freeway going 60-65 mph. Any suggestions there?

Again, sorry for the hijack. and thanks for the help in advance guys!!
