dieing ford

I have a 94 f150 4x4 302 that keeps dieing when I slow down to make turns or slow down to a stop sign. And when I start it on cold mournings it idles fast untill it warms up and idles down and dies.

Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test Here is a link on how to check for trouble codes. I think I would start there.
You could also buy an Equus 3145 code reader for under $30.00 to make life easier.

Def sounds like the IAC is gone at least. But before you go buying parts, try to pull codes like Lazy K mentioned.

I was thinking it could be the IAC or the TPS or maybe both.

Most places cant/wont scan something thats not OBD II. The Equus scanner is cheap and a great tool to have for these trucks. Mine was only $22 with shipping
