A friend of mine at work is having a problem with his 99 F-150 with a 5.0 in it.His problem is in the morning when it is cool the engine cranks fine and runs great. In the afternoon, after the temperature has warmed up and he is ready to go home the engine runs very rough and will not idle. He has to drive 2 footed to keep the engine from stalling until the engine has warmed up, then it runs fine. He took it to the Ford Dealership and they told him that they could not find anything wrong with it. Anyone have an idea what may be wrong? Thanks,

Sounds similar to the problem I was having but reversed in temperature (see 2001 Expedition post below this one). I recommend taking apart the air intake, and cleaning the MAF sensor and the throttle body. My butterfly valve in the throttle body was pretty gummed up. I took some air intake fuel injector cleaner (Gunk) and sprayed it out and rubbed it down with a clean cloth. I took the throttle body off and cleaned both sides of the butterfly and down into the intake. I also cleaned the two wires in the MAF with a q-tip very gently to make sure they didn't have any crap on them. Put it all back together and it's been fine since.The fact that altering the RPMs keeps it running makes you think it's a sensor mis-mixing the air/fuel ratio. That leads you to the TB, or MAF, for starters anyway. Good luck! Dave ------------------

Not to start any trouble but they never had a 5.0 in the 99 style truck. Is it a 5.4 maybe?------------------
