1986 efi
I have a 86 5.0 efi runs good then takes a dump on and runs good a gain right now. after startup it will stay at high idle and while going down the road it feels as though the motor has killed until i get below 35 mph or put it in neutral it runs fine. I have a new ditrbutor and module. in park i can rev it all day. what could it be.

Read the codes and see what it has to say. Here's a site that tells you how to do it with a voltmeter or testlight.

Does the truck have dual tanks? If so there are actually 2 fuel filters on the truck. The usual one that is easy to find and see. The other is by the valve that swaps what tank you are using under the truck. It is on the drivers side on the frame rail. The filter is about $4. We chased a similar problem for weeks because we were unaware of this filter. Good luck, hope it is something simple.
