Need help solving rough idle problem.....
The fuel pressure regulator is on the rear drivers side. It has a triangle looking mount with three bolts holding it on. It will also have a vacuum line coming out of it. To test it you should install a fuel pressure gauge. Follow the fuel system around and you should find a fitting that looks like a tire valve. This is where the gauge hooks to.
The egr is on the front pass side. It is mounted to the side of the throttle body and has a large pipe coming out of the bottom.

Need help solving rough idle problem.....
If it ain't broke.....change stuff till it is!
I have a 1986 f-150 4x4 w/ Lariat Pkg. When I start it in the morning, it runs and idles fine. But after driving just a short ways and allowing it to warm up, when I put it back into park, it idles rough (like around 200 rpm's), and wants to die. It also burns rich. Then when I put it back in gear it idles fine. Could this be the Park Idle Sensor? Or could it be the ignition module? I just started last month when it began to warm up in minnesota here. The 302 is efi, and I recently cleaned the throttle body and replaced the plugs. I don't really know what to make of this......any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanx!

I pulled the IAC wire, and the engine didn't shut down like it was suppose to. It just bogged down like it does after I drive it, and after about 3 sec. came back up to regular idle. So I'm going to replace that. I also need to clean my EGR valve I think, but don't know where it is. Is it to the left of the throttle body? I have the 302 efi. Also, where is the fuel pressure regulator. I think the diaphram may be ruptured. thanx for any help!

I helped a guy with a similar problem, after doing all that has been mentioned, it ended up being the TPS. Which explained why it ran good until it went into closed loop.

But the TPS was replaced last spring(1 year ago, right before I bought it). I guess it could be bad, but I pulled the EGR valve and cleaned it, and it runs good now. I am waiting on the IAC, and it should run mint then! IAC comes in tomorow. Hopefully I can get it sold then!!!!!! Thanx all!
