[QUOTE="Harry H, post: 1018229, member: 58770"] Well, I cleaned the IAC about 9-10 days ago and it seemed to fix the problem, but I still wasn't convinced, so I took it in to the Ford dealer and had them hook it up to their machine. They said it needs a new fuel pump (just under $1000 for them to replace it). I know the fuel pump has been coming on, because I can hear it, but maybe it's weak. So, I'm going to throw a guess out there and say it was a combination of IAC and a weak fuel pump. I could be wrong, but at this point I've started the truck 25-30 times since cleaning the IAC and it has started every time, so I'm happy. I also ordered a new fuel pump from RockAuto and it just showed up today. I also put in new plugs and wires a few days ago. If I still have a problem in the future, then the crank sensor would be a simple and inexpensive thing to try. For now, I'm looking forward to installing the new pump in the next day or two. Got to burn off a little more fuel out of the tank first :grin: [/QUOTE]
