Thanks for the info old paint and phoneman.Haven't had much time to work on the truck since I last posted. I did take the the front part of the IAC valve off yesterday and it seemed to look ok. I guess I really need to dismount it from the throttle body and see what that looks like. I will try to unplug the connector first. How do I use the paper clip?

Go here www.fordfuelinjection.com and have a good read. There's pictures and all the code listings, 2-digit and 3-digit.

When you start this truck the idle goes high, then when it gets to normal operating temperature it will die? Any clues??

When I start the truck, it does idle high, but it doesn't die. Every since I took the front piece of the IAC valve off, kinda cleaned it off with my finger, the idle hasn't fluctuated as much(just every now and then). I do want to check those codes soon and see where that goes.
