I have owned many F150, and F250 ford trucks in my life.
From a 1973 F150 to my 1994 F150 4x4
I currently still own and drive my 1994 with 245,000 miles.

1994 F-150 4x4 XLT Off Road
3" Custom Body Lift (1999)
4" Rancho Suspension Lift (2007)
Tires - 35" x 12.50" x 15" Rim
302 5.0 liter Engine

The only things replaced since it was built in 1994
- Oil Pan gasket
- Idler Pulley
- Water Pump
- Surp Belt
- Transmission @ 220,000 miles (I was pulling a Bobcat for a while)
- Battery, my last battery was 11yrs old, Sears Diehard Silver - miracle
- Starter Motor (2010 a couple months ago)

I have done all matinence, and repairs myself as with all my vehicles

However recently it dies when I stop 90% of the time.
it started out doing once in a while, now almost everytime I stop.
it idles high 2500 RPM then idles to 0 RPM it started a couple months ago.

I believe it to be an O2 sensor.. But they say there are 2, I only see the one below the exaust manifold passenger side on the pipe. which is what brought me to the forums.

IAC was the problem. easy, and inexpensive to replace.
Thanks "bobkyle2"

I would have done this sooner, but it has been cold, and I've been really busy. If I knew how easy this was I would have done it sooner.
Hope this info helps.

Update:

Here's my truck now.
I was rear ended at 70MPH by a ford ranger back in april .
I Only recieved $2200.00 for entire truck which is about what the lift cost me.
However I kept the truck and bought a 1996 F-150 with a 300 Strait 6.

My plan is to build a nice 4x4 from both trucks.
