5.4 won't idle
I hope this is just a coincidence that I SeaFoamed the Brake Booster line a week ago.
The problem is that the truck will barely idle at all.I thought it was the IAC, but I changed it with a brand new one and no difference. I also changed the PVC valve a week ago. It sounds like it wants to die and the truck adds a little throttle itself to keep it alive. I'm NOT getting a check engine light so I'm stuck. The plugs are not old either, maybe 15k miles on Autolite plats. Any ideas, please help. |
check the throttle position sensor... and may be the seafoam clogged up somewhere in the intake and it causing poor fuel mixture? have i tried half throttling the truck and spraying throttle body cleaner in there or B-12 as its called.. that should nock out anything. in the intake system.

check your injectors
hey, check your injectors. i had the same problem last week, chased it down all week. finally pulled the injector it was clogged with white powdery stuff. i put seafoam through the brake booster, and some in gas tank the day before that happened to my truck. it's worth a look.
