Truck will not start, good battery, good solenoid, good starter
I just recently bought an 88 f250 and have been driving it around. Yesterday I went out to try and start the truck and the starter solenoid started chattering. Since then I have had the battery tested and it tested good. I also took a battery out of my moms car that had more cold cranking amps and tried it. I still got the same result. My girlfriends dad said that it could then be my starter or my starter solenoid. I tested the solenoid by bypassing the solenoid with a screwdriver still did not start. So i thought it may be the solenoid. I replaced the solenoid and still have the same chattering in the solenoid. I then took the starter to get tested and it tested good. So i replaced the wire from the + battery terminal to the solenoid and the wire from the solenoid to the starter. I am still getting the same chattering at the solenoid. I have been reading threw the Haynes manual and trying to find forums with the same type of incident but haven't found anything. Can someone please help me

If it's EFI, Hold on there, DON'T mess with the idle screw... All it is for is to keep the butterflies from binding when closed... Your idle air control is messed up, Or (most likely) you have a vacuum leak...
