HELP!!! Engine stalling
My 98 F150 5.4L is having problems.
When I start my engine it idels fine for about 30sec-1min. After that it wants to die and it shakes pretty good. It also drops RPM's.
I am thinking its a vaccum hose but not sure. What are the possibe causes of this... what hoses etc..
Please help ASAP, I need to get this fixed.
Thanks Jake
The noise seems to be coming from the top of the motor towards the intake manifold.
We installed the AF-1 today as well but it started doing this, this morning before we installed the AF-1.

We fixed the problem. My bro took it into a shop and the guy did something that I thought was pretty cool.
He started the engine, then he took a spray bottle full of water and sprayed it on the engine. Will all the mist floating in the air he could see were it was being sucked in at. He found the hose witch had a half inch cut/crack in it. He fixed it for free and off we went.
Thanks again for the help!
