Occasional Stalling When Engaging Reverse
Lately my truck has often been nearly stalling and sometimes stalling when shifting into reverse. Does anyone know what would cause this?
I suspected it was the IAC and still think it might be. I cleaned it, but that didn't help any.

TexasGuy, before you start throwing parts at your truck and spending money not knowing if this stuff will fix the issue, here is an offer... I have all good working parts from my 5.0L before the build up. I went back with new stuff, but the IAC, TPS, etc. were all working flawlessly when I tore the engine down. Just an offer. Feel free to come by and try them out to see if any of that stuff will fix it.

I still want to come by some time and check out your Bronze F150.

I'm about halfway between Austin and Dripping Springs. I work up around 183 and IH35 and that's about a 30 minute drive. I will be in Waco Saturday, but your welcome to come check out the F150 anytime.

Thanks for the input traxx. I'm thinking about replacing both of them since they are both over 10 years old and have well over 150,000 miles on them. The IAC looks like its a Motorcraft one, but the TPS is a Wells A'Zone brand.
Does anyone know if the TPS requires dielectric grease on it when installing? I'm pretty sure the Wells one had some on it. The new BWD one does not. I know that when I just removed the TPS to clean up the throttle body it had something still on it.

Ha, my 1989 F150 does the other way around, when you put it in gear, any gear from Park when the engine is still a lil cold, the high idle comes on, and it's friggin' annoying. Only does it when the engine is still abit cold tho.
Starts up fine dead cold, revs up for about 2 min, then comes back down to low idle.

Thats what mine has always done especially when its cold outside. It still idles high and then comes down after about a minute. Even though it occasionally tries to stall. It will still idle a little higher than normal in gear until it warms up. Those things are normal.

If it idles up when depressing the brake listen for a slight hissing, I needed to replace a vac. brake booster, the seals were leaking when I pressed the brake, It's funny cause it only did it when it was cold or sat a little.
