Fuel pump maybe??
As in a previous post, i have been having issues with my truck starting then immediately dieing if i dont keep my foot on the gas.
Ive learned how to drive with 2 feet because of it, but I'm afraid i might be doing some type of damage since it keeps dieing and I have to keep starting it.
Once i get going for about 10-15 minutes its fine but its happening every time i start the truck.
Before it starts running correctly, it only idles around 400 rpm.
I think its the fuel pump, since my mechanic put a code scanner on there and it didn't throw any codes, he thinks it might be the fuel pump.
My question is, should i go with a ford pump from the dealer or are the ones sold from discount/o'reilly/napa just as good?
Thanks in advance

^^^^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The only items to buy from NAPA/AutoZone/O'Reilly's/Advance Auto etc., would be batteries and even then Costco has better deals.

i bought the fuel pump and iac today
I got a pretty good deal on both.
the pump is a delphi and the iac is elchin, napa's in house brand
the napa iac gasket leaves a lot to be desired so im going to grab a motorcraft one tomorrow
Got quoted $290 to have both installed.
That seem to be a fair price for both installed?

Not knowing the quality of gas used by the previous owner, it wouldn't hurt for me to change the pump also.

when replacing the iac, do i need to remove the air intake and should i be concerned about the bottom tube that run from the intake to the engine breaking or not flexing?
I dont want to take things apart and have that tube come off the engine or snap.

Just take your time and it'll come off easily enough. I recall cleaning the general area first with a rag. Heck while you're in the neighborhood, clean your MAF too.
