94 f250 cold start prob will only start when fuel is squirted in to throttle body/air intakes ?

 

We need more info please.
What engine? 4.6L 5.4L
What happens after it starts?
I just noticed you wrote F-250.
Try the SD forum.
This is the '04-'08 F150 forum.
That's why nobody has answered.

 

Could be an Idle Air Control Valve problem. It's on your throttle body. Try removing it and cleaning with MAF and Throttle Body Cleaner.

 

5.8 clen iac new plug wire cap rotor if you sguirt fuel in the throttle body it starts then keeps searching for idle

 

ive listed it in 4 places looking for a ford mechanic year dont matter that much if you no the fix

Any codes? How does the fuel system check? Does it start if you hold the accelerator pedal to the floor? Does it smell rich after starting?

 

no codes all started after using that sea foam crap in fuel system and pouring in vacuum lines, truck will start if fuel is squirted into air intake then searches for idle, have not tried pedal to foor yet, its rich when trying to idle,will bei checking fuel system just trying to get all areas to check for probs for this weekend s work

 

Maybe the inertia switch got set off....

 

I would start by checking for vacuum leaks. Than I would look at the IAC. Why did you Seafoam in the first place? Was the truck running poorly or missing?

 

Accelerator to floor when starting cold might help cold start. Sounds like it's flooded out for some reason. Probably IAC. You can remove it and clean with MAF/ throttle body cleaner. That might do it. Or you may have to replace it.

 

we have to add fuel to get it to start

 

cannot get codes neiter test will produce any self or meter
