F150 problem after stopping

my buddy has an 86 F150 that always chokes down when he stops for a brief period of time. he doesnt know what the problem could be, he recently had the belts replaced but it still chokes down and shuts off. any of you mechanical guys think you might know the source of the problem??

 

would seafoaming help any?

 

he can seafoam................................is the truck carbureted or fuel injection?? and he needs to check all his vacuum hoses too. faulty fuel pump will do that too bro.

 

yeah i told him it sounded like it was a fuel pump or something. its fuel injected. so hes not running too lean or too rich but i think its a fuel pump. cause uder throttle it goes fine but when hes at a stop it chokes down on him.

 

sounding more and more like a fuel pump to me man.

 

cool is there any way to put a temporary fix on this problem before he can get it into a shop?

 

check the inline fuel filter first..My old 4runner used to do that. Going uphill it would die on me

 

. i told him that i was gonna run seafoam through his brake booster line and see if that helped anything

 

i agree with firefighter.............get him to replace the fuel filter first and see what happens, and if that dont work............he'll have a new fuel pump and filter, which will help with mileage too. and seafoam that baby too man!

 

heck yeah. allright guys ill let him know. thanks again.

 

let us know what happens man. i wont be on tw much this weekend...gonna be outta town, but if you need to call me for anything Ian............my cell is 803 448 2027................i'll try to help any way i can.

 

my best guess.. its probably a Ford problem. Tell him to try and UnFord it and all the Ford should come out. but if it doesnt.. he probably has a Ford and tell him theres nothin much he can do..

good call 4x4....................i didnt think about the tb butterfly.

 

i appreciate it will. thanks bro

 

...... is that in the engine manifold? i dont plan on doing a whole lot to it. other than helping him seafoam it. should i change spark plugs or change oil after i do this in that thing?
