1992 F-350 w/460. Why does it run roughly after warmed up?

Truck idles fine and runs great when cold. When the truck warms up it begins to run rough almost cuts off the engine when running down the road.

    Yes at hot idle still cuts out. It has approx 140000 and I have already replaced plugs wires cap rotor and fuel pump going to replace the oxygen sensor this weekend

  • Randy hoagland Nov 24, 2015

    I replaced the fuel pumps and fuel selector switch and temp sensor still have the same issue

    You may be able to feel with your finger if the diaphragm will move up and down and see if the idle worsens or gets better. The IAC idle air control may need cleaning to let enough air flow for it to idle smoothly. Also, an O2 sensor stuck on high/rich could be making it run too rich after warm up.

    If there are no codes, keep in mind that early 90's ford EEC IV units (Electronic Engine Control) units are known to have problems the older they get. Not sure if your model has an EEC-IV but if you have replaced about everything else in the ignition system keep that in mind. Research "ford eec 460 module problem" or similar. I had random misses at idle and under load. Turned out to be leaking capacitors on the circuit board inside the EEC module.

SOURCE: rough idle after warm up

I'd take a look at the temp sender...the engines computer may be "thinking" the engine is still cold when it's not. That would cause it run rich (and rough) after it's warmed up. Generally the sender can be tested with an ordinary volt/ohmeter but you will need the specifications available in most inexpensive manuals. As with any complicated electronics system, I can only give you my best guess, without the luxury of doing any hands-on testing myself.
Good Luck!!

SOURCE: car idles and runs rough intermittently after engne is warm.

one of you air line pipes could have collapsed or split which will cause a problem with idling and performance and it will give no smoke signs

1990 4runner

A couple of possible problems, low compression on one or more cylinders, possibly a burned valve, possible headgasket leaks, have the compression tested and checked for a headgasket leak, both of these conditions would cause a rough idle and then seem to run normally when warmed up.
