A friend gave me a 1988 f250 with a 460 efi and the idle is sometimes rough like it is missing then sometimes smooth and sometimes very high-any suggestions? Thanks.
Great place to start. High voltage items like plug wires do break down over time whether they are in use or not. Corrosion can also build up inside the the distributor cap due to moisture. A tuneup with good quality parts will cure a lot of sins from the past.
Thanks!-that just confirms what I read elswhere so I will be checking the lines and spraying brake cleaner around the intake runners and around the throttle body. Thanks again!

Assume from searching this is a reoccuring problem for the 460 ?
I take delivery of the truck tonight or tomorrow morning, up to this point I have had limited access to it, the trucks brakes are shot - so I bought a new master cylinder and bleed screws (one is so choked up with gunk it wont bleed) so driving it properly has not been an option.
What i know is wrong with it from the listing description:
Leaking Transmission.
What i discovered is wrong:
Leaking Transmission
Rough Idle
Missfire
Motor mounts are worn out
Fuel Caps missing
Brakes failing
To get a title i need an emissions test certificate, and in its current state will fail.
