Help, this 5.0 f-150 idles too high!!

Coupe5oh · 04-06-2002, 12:41 AM

Sorry its not a stang question, but its a 95 f-150, I swapped the t.p.s out, it was on the bottom of the TB, So i had to take the tb off

so i cleaned it, and the iab, it was gunked up good, also pulled the egr and it looks alright, i ran codes, it brought up quite a few about idle problems...duh!, and throttle positioning, of course it goes down when i put it in gear, but in park it races to about 2-2500 and stays....

weird, any help would actually make my night, because im stumped, and burned my hand on the dang tb.

Btw, it has 200k miles, but has had routine maintence.
also, its not the idle set screw. thnx

And this thing has good power, well it is a 5.0

, no real problems when my dad had it, the tranny is starting to slip a little, its a company truck, i was trying to make a quick 50$ off it,

im gonna try and reset the computer, it has been a good truck, but a previous employee ran it out of oil, and it started knocking, and screwed the oil pump, they replaced the oil pump, and it runs good, well except the idle. anyone else?? I recomend a 5.0l f150 if your in need of a truck, i seen them last even longer than this one, and this one has been abused, has towed more weight than it should have in its time.
