jacked up idle

<hr style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" size="1"> Morning....91 F150 6 cyl. fuel injected. When I start the truck I get major high erractic idle. Doesn't matter if the truck is warmed up or not. Showing no codes. Replaced IPS...plugs...wires...rotor/cap. No change. Noticed the plugs showed the engine running lean. No vac leaks that I can find. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...peace

Have you inspected your Idle Air Control (IAC) solenoid?

Your swap parts list tells me that there is a vacuume leake some where. If it is a high eratic idle in the rang of 1800 to 2500 RPM check the break booster gromet and that end of the vac line.
