#532 of 551 1988 Ford F150 Strange noise and bad idle on hot start by elbbirp Jul 01, 2009 (7:48 pm)
When I shut off and then restart my truck, there is an intermittent high pitched noise accompanied by an unsteady too low idle speed. If I do nothing it usually dies or dies as soon as I put it in gear. If I give it some gas I can keep it running, and after a minute or so the problem disappears completely. I replaced the Idle Air Control which had no effect on the problem. The noise sounds sort of like maybe the air pump that is not getting enough air, but I can unplug the air pump and the problem remains. Thanks.
#533 of 551 Spontaneous Acceleration of 2008 F-150 by sadfordowner Jul 02, 2009 (6:13 pm)
Have had several episodes of truck suddenly accelerating. Even with brake pushed to floor, truck continues to go full throttle. After placed in neutral and tuned off/on, goes back to running normally. Has happened in drive and reverse. Each time has been at slow speed or slowing to stop. Dealer finds no problem, but on National Highway Transportation Safety Ad site, has dozen or more complaints listed. Truck has less than 7000 miles on it. Any one with luck on this? Dealership states Ford has no "bulletins" out on this "concern." Replies to this message: jh1954 (Sep 03, 2009 6:41 am)

Replying to: bob237 (Nov 01, 2008 6:00 am) Finally, I have found my problem with the surging of my truck with light acceleration. It was my air cleaner, it looks' good but my friend took it all the way out and it was filthy. I put a new air filter in and have had no problem and it has been a couple months.The engine was starving for air with light acceleration and was all right when I gave it more gas.   Thank's for all the sugestions and help, great group                                                            Bob237

Replying to: davis53 (Jul 06, 2009 6:48 pm) the air filter looked good but when I took it out it was almost pluged solid so with light acceleration it wasn't getting enough air.21/2 years nobody could find the problem.Put a new filter in and 3 months now and no problem also gained 4 mpg.   The dealeres were very surprised.                                                 Bob

Replying to: rconrad (Apr 16, 2005 8:34 am) I solved this hesitation problem. My truck acted the same as yours. One of the answers was the removal of the rear tank which gave me a clue to solve the problem. I simply loosened the fuel cap of the tank in use. Yes it is a venting problem. The hesitation probem went away. Now I need to solve why the tanks wont vent.
#538 of 551 1999 F150 question by miller606 Jul 08, 2009 (6:55 pm)
1999 F150 which is the return/outlet transmission line from the radiator top or bottom.   I have a 1999 F-150 5.4L v8 with a 4r100 transmission, and I need to know which is the transmission return line from the radiator in order to install an aux. cooler. Its important that its a 1999 because I've been told that new f150's have a different setup from the 1999. I've tried touching the lines after start up with little luck on feeling which one is hotter. If you have a 1999 f150 with a aux cooler or you know this answer I appreciate your help. Thanks

#540 of 551 Road Warrior 4x4 or 4x2 by cohiba007 Jul 10, 2009 (1:30 pm)
I am looking at getting a F150 King Ranch and have driven both the 4x4 and 4x2. I don't need a 4x4 but think that the ride is better. Seems more sturdy. However, I do a lot of hwy driving between FL and GA, about 3k a month. Aside from the MPG, am I crazy for wanting a 4x4?
