The IAT is at location F6 in the diagram below for the 460 with a MAP sensor.

That is interesting. I didn't know it had one. I should have known better.

The problem my F150 had was it would start fine when cold, but after being driven it would be very hard to start unless you started it back up within a few minutes. It would normally have to sit for a few hours or longer before it would start normally.
I'm pretty sure it's not this, my regulator went out a few weeks after I bought it, so I got $900 worth of new injectors. I've been told afterwards that I probably didn't need the new injectors, but at that point the shop didn't know the regulator was bad, they just said my injectors leaked. After I still had problems with new injectors, they found out I had 140psi to the fuel rail, which was causing even the new injectors to leak.

It's already been covered, but yes, I have an IAT. I know because I already replaced it

I'll try the penny in the EGR thing. It can't hurt! Thanks for the suggestion!

That should have read:
drop a penny in the tube and hand tighten the tube back on to the EGR valve.

This so you do not mess up the tube to valve mating surfaces.

EGR didn't appear to change anything, so I'm selling the truck. I may try again with another one once I have an actual place to work on it.

Thanks for all your help!
