87 f150 i6 4.9l code 10

Im getting a code 10, the book is stating cylinder # 1 out of balance. How would I do about fixing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the Innova 3145 owners manual:

Code 10 is the separator code between active and stored codes.

Thanks for answering. Yeah was wandering if it is a separation code or the cylinder out of balance code, how can I tell the difference?

If I recall correctly 10 is a separator code and is also used as an indicator to mash the gas pedal for the computer to initiate the next set of tests. I’ve been pulling a few too many codes recently on my 88’ with the 4.9

Have you rerun the KOEO test?

Cylinder balance test is only available on engines with sequential injection, which these trucks didn't have in 87. The balance test (if available) is started manually with a stab of the throttle after the KOER test is complete.
