Engine problem
1993 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 120K miles

My truck will not stay running. I turn the key, and sometimes I can get the engine to roll over, but when I do, I have to keep my foot on the gas, because it will not idol. When I take my foot off of the gas, the truck shakes and sputters down and turns off. There is something leaking under the truck, it is a pinkish tint. I checked the oil, and it is fine, and there is plenty of gas. What could be my problem?

Sounds like tranny fluid or power steering fluid.

About the rough idle, I belive it is time to clean out the EGR valve, also check the PCV valve.

Next step is clean out the throttle body and plate and then check the IAC to see if it is functioning properly.
