Need Help
I have a 1985 Ford F250 with a 5.0/302 . When you drive the truck for awhile then shut it off , when you return to start it again , it wont idle right . Once you start to drive it seems to do alright , until you shut it off again . Also when the truck has a payload in it and you drive for awhile , it starts to act like it is running out of gas and stalls out . After it sets for about an hour then it starts up and runs fine untill you drive for awhile then the same thing happens again . When I take it into the shop to get checked out they tell me that they can't get it to do what I said it was doing . The computer tells them that everything is working fine . If anyone has had this same problem and has a fix let me know . Thanks

have you checked for codes on this truck it is easy and takes about 5 mintues. start there. and let us know what the verdict is. it is generally not wise to throw parts at problems either. is this truck fuel injecte or carbed?

My truck is fuel injected . The place I took it to said that no codes showed up . Truck has just had a tune up oil change and all filters changed . The truck was in storeage for all most ten years . During that time the truck was started only about every three months . When the truck was stored it had just had a new timing chain and gear put in . The truck had no problems when it was stored . It always started right up when it was started during storeage .
