Archived from groups: alt>autos>ford (more info?)

While in park, my car will idle normally and then after a few seconds
it will idle extremely slow and begin to shudder as if it was going to
die on me. It happens worse if I happen to have the AC going. Check
engine light was on so I checked the code and got back P1131. What
gives? I've done some searching around and have only gotten mixed
signals about my o2 sensor or my fuel filter or a vacuum leak. How
can I check those and how much would it cost?

Thanks!

Have you tried cleaning the MAF sensor? I'd begin there before I
started replacing things.

Great. I'll give it a try. Question is: where do I find it and how
do I clean it?

I.A.C. idle air sensor and a vacuum leak from a vacuum hose that
gets a hole in it from melting and rubbing from vibrations of the
engine. Vacuum hose is in back of engine bay .

Former..... 1995 pain in the butt contour owner.
