some questions
hey guys, we just got a 92 f150 custom 5.0L
it was my grandfathers,he past away last month.he was great guy.
here are the problems we are having.
my dad went to go get it.and he said it was hard to get it to fire up.he got it back to the house and we poped the hood.and found about 3-5 connectors unhooked and one of those was the IAC so i reconnected and fired it up.she went right up to very high idle.so im guessing its the IAC,but my dad said he replace that not to long ago.
it has the dual tank setup.my grandfather said awhile back before he pasted that the front tank didnt work.but when my dad got it back to the house we checked it and the front tank fuel pump kicks on.when we start the truck you can hear it running the fuel tank is empty. it would do that if its empty right?

You do need to pull the codes. I would also determine why the connectors are disconnected and hook them back up. You don't need a code reader for your truck. You can read the codes by using a jumper and counting the check engine light flashes. I have the same truck and have done it many times. Here is a post that explains how to do that...

If the screw looks to be unmolested then you have a vacuum leak.
