Finally got that '96 F-150 to stop stalling at red lights

Been chasing a random stall issue on a '96 F-150 for about three weeks. Turns out the IAC valve was clogged up with carbon, but only when it got hot. Cleaned it out with some brake cleaner and she purrs like a kitten now. Anyone else ever had a Ford IAC valve act up only after 20 minutes of driving?

Oh man, same thing happened to my '97 F-150. Took me forever to figure out it was heat-related too, cleaned the IAC and it's been solid ever since.

Honestly, that's usually the first thing I'd check.
