Engine Performance problem
1999 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 180k miles

b4 I have ruff idle. It would run fine then after start to idle ruff then it would bring the rms back up and run fine. The check engine light was on so I scaned it and it came up bank 2 sensor 1 was bad so I fixed that why I had the pipes off I fixed the only manafold bolt I thought was broke turned out to be the 2 bolts on the back cylinder. Now I have this problem. When in all gears and park when I barley push the gas it bogs down and then revs up but if you rev it from start it will not bog down. It only losses rms for a sec or 2 but something this truck never did.

Has the check engine light ever come back on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure and for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.

If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned. Most parts stores will do it for free. As far as the fuel pressure, most parts stores will lend or rent the gauge to you. The only thing you can do with vacuum lines is start looking for cracked, dryrotted, disconnected. Some people use carb cleaner and spray it on the hoses. If there is a leak, the RPM's will go up. I don't like doing it because there is a risk of the fluid hitting something hot enough to catch fire.
