When I start my truck it only runs if I rev it up a bit. If I do not it dies and won't start again for 5-10 minutes. Once it "warms up" I have no trouble w/ it at all. It does have higher mileage but I just love it. Is there a sensor out, or is there anything I can do at all?

Thank You For Your Help,
Chelsea

Clean out the idle air control valve and test the throttle position sensor.
