Possible Fuel problems
I have a 2000 Ford-F250, V10, 6.8 liter Gas
THe issue is that when I try to start the vehicle it will start, but then start to idle real low and then die. If I try to restart sometime it will and sometimes you have to let it sit. I can also pump the gas and it will someyimes start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try whacking the IAC with a screwdriver handle just to see if that loosens it up, but more info is needed to make a more educated diagnosis.

I replaced the idler control valve and there are no issues once it starts. When it won't start I can sometimes push the gas down and it will start. I'm unable to check for codes because it's never happened when I have it somewhere that can check.

Codes are stored and light won't go out until someone turns it off.
