99 f250 5.4l idling problems
I just bought a 99 f250 with a 5.4 the coils; injectors, fuel pump and filter had all been changed and was running great. Now it is having high and low idling problems I had it checked out and they told me it was my cam sensor. Changed that and its still doing the same thing and it feels a little sluggish.

the IAC is new.it runs good for a while then it will start trying to stall as im driving.i can turn the key off and back on and it runs good again but then when i stop it will idle high.i dont think it would be a vacum leak cause if i let it run for a few it will idle back down.

I wouldn't pick up anything yet..Clearing the codes wouldn't have fixed it. It just had codes because you were working on it. See what code comes on by itself...TPS will set a code if its bad plus you can test it with an ohm meter or a scanner. I can read the value of it at at any angle on my scanner.

After dealing the the TPS, if you are still having issues I would take it to a Ford Dealer or reputable shop, have them perform a power balance test to see if its a ignition/cylinder problem, and which one.
