Help fuel issues!!!!!!

I have a 93 F-150 xcab w/ a 5.0 in it. When idling and driving at low speeds it acts like it is not getting any gas and dies. When I get on the road and get to driving 30 and up, it runs fine.
HELP!!!!!!!!!
What should I start checking?

Help fuel issues!!!!!!

My '94 did the exact same thing. I replaced the fule filter and did a tune up on the engine (rotor bug, distributor cap, spark plugs, wires). My main problem was that my truck has over 230 thousand miles on it and had never been given a tune up, and the piece on top of the spark plug was non existant. It was a miracle it still ran. But I would start with the things I listed, it made mine run like new. I thought it would cut out everytime I tried to give it gas until I got a new engine, but now it runs like a champ..

If the tune up doesn't help, I would look into the EGR valve for being carboned up and possibly the tps sensor being worn out.

Question Help fuel issues!!!!!!

I stopped by Autozone and the guy hooked up a code reader and this is what came up.
Code: 172 = HEGO sensor low voltage
Code: 327 = Egr valve low voltage
Code: 122 = TPS sensor low voltage

Is the a code book on here so I can verify what the Autozone guy told me?
Also, What would cause low voltage? Are the sensor's going out? Or is it the altenator?

Probably a bad ground or bad connection, with that many sensors showing low voltage.
