1996 Ford Explorer V8 2WD.
I just changed the oil, and I put a performance air filter in.. Air Filter sounds and works great, so i dont think this is the problem. However, I can start my truck up, and it idles fine at first, but if it sits there, the rpm's will drop just a hair, and then the truck will stall. I can put the truck in drive and drive it fine, but once i hit the brakes and the truck comes to a stop, either one when i try to take off it jumps, or two it stalls out.. Please help me.. I think i need to raise the idle speed up, but im not sure
 
check for vacuum leaks, check the entire intake line for vacuum leaks, check for wires and hoses which may have slipped off (unplug them and plug them back in.), clean the area around the intake and pull the filter out and see if it idles fine like that (indicating a restrictive filter), if none of that works bump the idle up a bit (should be a screw on the throttle)
