random eratic idle
 
i got a 92 f150 with a 300 strait six motor with fuel injection. one day while i was driving down the road it all of a sudden bogged when you stepped on the gas, and when you stepped on the cluch the engine would die. And then it would not want to start just crank and crank and finaly it would start. but it sounds like is running on 3 cylander, and the idle went all over the place from 500 up to 3 grand, and then it would hold there and all of a sudden stall again. it will repeat this procces for about 5 mins, and then you start it up and it would run fine. it ran great for a few days, and then i went to start it up and take off and about 3 mins into my drive it started to do it again. so i fought it out for 5 mins and it ran fine again. It still does that at random times, and most of the time its hard to start, you have to matt the throttlle and when it starts it coughs and misfires and once you matt it for about a minute it will clear out and run ok, other times it just wont run right and sounds like its running on 3 cylanders if it will even start. please help me I have been messing with this problem since May. I pulled the codes last night, and did it four times, and all four times it sent out different codes than the previous time. the only consistent code was the first ones it sent which were codes 11, and i also tryed the 3 code system and that threw out code 111.

You should list all of the codes that you pulled those 4 times, it would give a direction, some where to start maybe.
