Ford Explorer: Correct 95 Explorer PCM relearn procedure?

95 Explorer XLT 153000 miles 4.0 OHV V6.

After replacing the IAC valve to correct an idle problem on my sons '95
Explorer I cleared the KAM and took the PCM through a relearn procedure.
I used a procedure I found at an Australian website that looked pretty
good (tho it was for the V8 not the V6).

I got a Chiltons manual today and the relearn procedure in it consists
of nothing more than a 10 mile drive. Seems pretty basic if you ask me.
I've seen other procedures on the net and here.

Is there a definitive relearn procedure? Does it vary by model/year? Do
OBD-I or OBD-II engines differ in relearn procedure? I'm new to this
stuff so any sage advice is welcome.

Thanks


BTW

The good news is the car idles better (hasn't cut out in 2 days). Oddly
enough both my son and I independently came to the conclusion that
performance is much better with better pickup on the highway. Can this
improved performance be attributed to a new IAC valve or the PCM relearn
process?

A few days prior to IAC valve replacement the engine had new plugs,
wires, fuel filter and a throttle body cleaning. This didn't help the
problem and I decided to troubleshoot myself if all the local shop was
going to do is guess. (I can do that at a better labor rate). Thanks to
this newsgroup it looks as if I may have guessed right first time (time
will tell if the problem returns or not). I plan to get a code scanner
to try and eliminate some of the guesswork in the future.

Thanks for that explanation Jim. The procedure I followed may well have
been the idle relearn procedure, it had you spend 8 minutes at idle
with the vehicle in drive or neutral and with the a/c on or off, then it
had you do a test drive. The website I quoted dealt with replacing the
IAC so the procedure could well be biased towards calibrating the idle.
My sons vehicle is ODB-I and would cutout occasionally approaching stop
lights or in heavy traffic, so I may have inadvertently stumbled across
the best procedure for the task at hand. I'd rather be lucky than good.
