WOW! 300 views no responce. Does any one have any sugestions? I am at a loss Thanks Art

 

Is there a chance that the torque converter is locking up and not unlocking until you restart the engine? A locked converter will stall the engine.

 

If you shift into neutral taking the load off the engine when stoped does it still stall, or can you fether the pedal to keep it running?

 

Thanks for responce. The truck will not idle in Park or Neutral . Runs great down the road. just stalls at light and when you stop.

Thanks
Art

 

Have you attempted to 'set' or change the idle speed?

 

"Disconnected all vacuum lines from intake manifold tree and plugged. I ran a separate vac line from intake vacuum tree to fuel reg on fuel rail and to Map sensor."

From vacuum tree. Do you have power brakes? If so did you disconnect and plug the hose leading to the booster to rule out the booster diaphram as a culprit?

just a thought.

Did you check the hose from the PCV valve to the intake for cracks/leaks?

 

Thanks for the responses.

The idle can not be set on this truck it is EFI. Timing is set perfectly.

All Vacuum hoses have been replace including the PVC line behind the upper intake. As noted above everything is new. When changing out the cam again all new gaskets replaced.

Also no computer codes the only codes are pass test codes on eng off and eng on tests

Eng will idle if if I keep rpms above 1000, let off gas pedal the will stall, in any gear or park/neutral

Thanks

Are you reusing the original throttle body? If so, did you clean the throttle bore just behind the throttle blades, where they close? Carbon will build up there and cause hesitation and stalling at idle. It only takes a small amount to cause it. I usually take a cloth with some carb cleaner and wipe it out throughly.

Check the idle voltage specs in your shop manual on the throttle position sensor. The 5.0 Mustangs had to be set just right (and could be rotated a few degrees) to get a decent idle (voltage reading). Use a modern high impedence volt meter so you won't burn out your ECU.

I'd also double check the IAC for proper operation. Considering the quality of parts coming over the counter these days, just because something is new doesn't mean it works properly.

 

Replaced the 2nd cam, (Comp 35-512-8) with the original roller cam I removed from the eng before I rebuilt it. Truck now runs perfect! Idles and does not stall when you come to a stop light. Thanks Art

 

Glad to hear you got it fixed. You can probably change the cam in that thing with your eyes closed by now.

 

I would like to resurrect this thread with a question. When you had the camshaft issue, did you use the stock roller camshaft with the standard 302 firing order or was it the 94-96 F150/96-2001 Explorer camshaft with the HO firing order?

 

I am looking for a used comp cam 35-351-8 for my engine....5.0L
Anyone by chance would have one laying around and would like to get rid of it????? Let me know.
Thanks
