the truck was sitting for 2 years i got it and put injector cleaner in it it idles a little rough. the 4x4 i can hit the button either high or low and nothing happens at all. i've pulled codes and a code 62 comes up which is a clutch converter error and the book said for years 89-90 or 91 but mine is a 92 so i didn't think that pertains to my truck

what brand and kind of plugs? wires?
did you do cap/rotor?
an injector cleaner will not magically bring back to life a truck sitting for 2 years.
the injectors may be clogged.

Sounds like there may have been a reason its been parked for 2 years. hope the gas isnt 2yrs. old. clear the code and start over. Sounds like major tune up time. start there and see what develops.............remember, go slow and have patience.

plugs are motorcraft the wires are omni spark. did not do the cap.
it was parked for 2years because the po started driving a 1 ton for the trucking company my grandpa works for so he didn't have a need for it anymore i bought it from him for $200 with brand new tires and wheels on it and a tool box full of tools.
i drained the tanks and cleaned them before filling them up so the gas is fresh. i'm only running the rear tank caust eh front needs a sender and pump

Have you done a compresion test yet? check the timing/ plug cond./vac. lines/ EGR. Also check the grounds. open the air cleaner/ tubes, once had mice build a nest in air tubes. avehicle thats been sitting that long can have some pretty strange problems.

what the hell are omni spark wires? autozone crap?
the injectors are probably gummed up.
have you checked fuel pressure?
