Engine Warm-up cycle
Hi All....
1989 E150 Club Wagon, 5.0, Auto, 61,000miles. Each time I go out to start up, the engine will not idle unless I feather the accelerator. After a couple of minutes it seems to "warm-up", and idle fine for the rest of the ride. I would understand this if I were up North in the winter, but this is Florida, 80 degrees......anybody know whut's up?

Have you tried disconnecting the battery overnight and let the ecu reset itself ? It's a run problem so there should be a code for the problem. I found this site it tells how to read codes on your van, pretty cool. Code Reader..... - Ford Bronco Zone Early Bronco Classic FullSize Broncos

Thanks, I'll check it out.........I just thought someone may have been able to identify the symptoms as having them before.

Yes, the Fuel Filter was changed about a month ago......as was the Rear Tank, and both in-tank fuel pumps, and the Injectors were cleaned.......for reasons not related to this problem. The engine starts easy, and runs fine......it just has to have that little couple of minutes warm-up before it will idle.

According to the 1989 Econoline " Electrical & vacuum trouble shooting manual " (I found it on ebay ) there is a " idle speed control " unit in there somewhere maybe they have one at the parts store so you could see what it looks like. It's connected to the ECA if that helps.
