Stalling Problems

Hello,
I have a 1987 ford F150 5.0 EFI. When i First crank it up it will rev up too 1500 Rpms for about a second then Stall out. I Tried resetting the computer and Putting a new Coolant sensor, but nothings helping. When its warmed up it wont stall, just After its been sitting for a couple hours. Does anyone no how to fix this issue?

Vacuum leak? Don't know if this year has the vac cans. They look like coffee cans and like to rust out. Replace or try to repair with silver duct tape.

What are the codes you found?

Good luck and keep us posted.

Check for stored codes and also check your fuel pressure. How old are the plugs, wires, cap and rotor? Same for the fuel filter?

Hold and supply vacuum when manifold vacuum is low, i.e. accelerating, going up a long hill, etc. They supply vacuum to components that rely on vacuum to operate such as the dash vents, egr, TAB/TAD and cruise control if it is not an electronic servo type controller.
