Hello all..
I just purchased a 1992 Ford F150 with the 5L engine and I'm having trouble getting it started. The truck will start after I pump it several times and it will only stay running if I continue to pump it. From what I was told was that the truck sat for 6 months so I put some fuel stabilizer along with fresh fuel..the truck still will not start. I replaced the IAC as well
Any help for the newest guy on the board would appreciated!

 

Do u pump the throttle before u turn the key or while your turning the key?

 

nope, its fuel injected.

 

Sorry my bad i didnt see u said you replaced the iac, the fuel pump maybe on the way out.

 

I can hear the fuel pump come on. If I turn the key off and on acouple of times I can hear it. This still get the truck to fire up but quickly die.

 

Change the fuel filter.

 

Check the cap and rotor.

 

First recommendation is to drain the fuel tank and replace the plugs. Start with fresh fuel.
