Truck dying when engine is cold
This started about a month ago.
Since then I have changed the Fuel Filter and Cleaned the Injectors. The spark plugs were changed about 10,000 mi back.
When the engine is cold it just won't keep running at idle. I have never had a fuel injected engine do this. But it is acting like an old carbureted chevy.
Any thoughts

Sounds like the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. Search the site here for IAC and you should get many hits. It is not too difficult to replace.
(Added on edit) Here is a link to an article on replacing the IAC valve. https://www.ford-trucks.com/dcforum/...D117/3953.html
