1995 5.8L starting issues
im ready to torch my 95 f150 5.8L. ok before it left me stranded i noticed it was idling rediculously high one day and later that night went to go home and would not start. towed it home beeen workin on it since. i changed the idle air control valve but the truck will not start unless i use either or starting fluid. once it starts though it will stay runnin but still idles high unless i blank off the iacv. so i gather there is something tellin the computer that there is alot of fuel to open the iacv when in fact there isnt enough fuel to start the truck. ive checked the fuel pressure to the rails and im getting no codes. what can be the problem?

Sounds like he is talking about the PCV hose and the PCV valve is located at the back right (drivers right as setting in the seat) of the engine and goes into the right bank valve cover. The hose source is the upper intake on the drivers side.
The only other large vacuum hose is the one going to the brake booster. Make sure the brake booster diaphragm is OK or it can it can have the same effect on the engine also.

yeah ive cheched all that plus if there was a leak the iacv wouldnt be opening up all the way. i believe something is telling the computer there is alot of fuel and i need more air hence the iacv opening all the way. im just not sure what. i might have to try some O2 sensors but i really dont wanna just throw parts at it. no vac leaks all been checked and re checked. really need schematic for wiring of engine control systems and sensors.

You unplugged the IAC when the engine is running, idle dropped down to near normal?

i have blanked off the iacv and the truck idles normal. but only after i get it started with either. just unpluging does nothing which is why i stated something is telling the iacv to open too far and restrict fuel. not enough fuel on start up but once i get it started with either it will run normal with the iacv blocked off and without blocking it off it idles at two grand.
