engine stalling

I have a 1992 f 150 with a v-6 engine. Seems to run fine most of the time but occasionally sputters and stalls check engine sight comes on. Starts back up and runs fine for miles. I replaced the IAC and seem to take care of the problem, but starting to do it again. Any other thoughts?

Have you replaced the PCV valve? Checked for vacuum leaks?

Have not found any leaks. Where is the PCV located?

So do you have the 300 straight 6 or V8? Never was a V6 in these vintage trucks.

If you haven't checked for codes, then that is your 1st step in diagnosing what's wrong with it.
