Intermitent stall at startup idle
on my '00 e150, 4.6 occasionally on a cool, rainy day, or at noon when parked uphill, my engine stalls just after startup. It ramps up to about 2000 rpm, then dies. I can keep it running after start by keeping a slight pressure on the accelerator, like we used to before ECM and fuel injection.
There are no computer codes. The fuel pressure on the fuel rail is good at 30-40 psi, and the pump does about a gallon in 5 minutes. I replaced the fuel filter, and that's a tough location with the new duck tools. I recently replaced the spark plugs, about 3000 miles ago.
Confused and perplexed.

Intermitent stall at startup idle
No longer confused or perplexed, the idle air control valve is easy to access on the E150 through the doghouse. I removed it, blew some air inside, and put it back on. If it happens again, I'm wondering if I can blow some carb cleaner in to clean it some more?
I can only imagine where the IAC is on the F150, must be hard to get to.
Thanks for the info and I've placed this site on my favorites.
