Air filter/PCV valve. Always check the air filter and PCV valve first. A clogged air filter starves an engine of much-needed air, skewing the air/fuel mixture. On the other hand, a stuck or dirty PCV valve allows too much air into the engine. Both will cause your engine to idle roughly or stall when idling.
REDUCING IDLE TIME INCREASES FUEL ECONOMY. When a truck is stopped and idling, it is achieving zero miles per gallon. In fact, it burns through about a gallon per hour, decreasing overall fuel economy by 1 percent. Idle fuel consumption increases exponentially with engine speed, so fleets should implement practices to select the lowest possible 0eH3ffj.
