I have a 1990 f 150 with a 5.0 ltr. 5 speed manual trans. And the motor will rev up to 3000 rpms when I. Up shift and stay there. I have to hold the clutch and turn off the motor and restart the engine for the rpms to come back down. This is a random problem, that happens 2 or 3 time a day when I have to shift the trans. I drive the truck about 30 miles at a time to work.

How does your clutch feel? You might just have to just adjust the clutch peddle.

SOURCE: 1988 Bronco 2 stalling out.

have te ignition module and stator been replaced? that is the common cause of this, and yes the engine being out of time can cause this stall out, when you time the engine remember you must remove the timing shorting bar at the distributor connector to the TFI ignition module or the timing will be severely retarded

Generally, what causes C-4's and C-6's to be slugish going into gear, is the seals on the servo pistons are getting hard. The servo pistons are what apply pressure on the clutch packs, when the seals get hard the oil can blow past the piston and the clutch won't engage. It's worse when the the trany is cold and usualy gets better as the oil gets warm. You could try some transmission conditioner, the cheep stuff works as good as the high dollar stuff. Don't rev the engine to try to get it to go into gear, the clutch is trying to engage and you will burn the clutch up pack. If the clutches were replaced 3k miles ago why didn't they put seals in it at the same time?

Generally the computer is reading a problem with the fuel pressure being to high or to low. The ICP is one problem it could be and you changed it. The other could be Fuel pressure regulator control solenoid or problems with the injector (s).

SOURCE: I have a 1969 Ford f100 3 speed manual trans,

i had a '71 dodge with three-on-the-tree that experienced binding and the only way to fix it is to replace worn parts. as for the lights, find out which connetor supplies power. perhaps it is faulty or loose. also, there may be a separate fuse located on or near the instument cluster specifically for that application.
