Default idling problem
Hey guys. I have an 89 5.0 and when I start it it wont idle, it just bogs down and shuts off. If I start it and rev it a little and hold it for a minute or two then it will idle. I tried to adjust the idle but that didnt change anything. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Clean IAC, then do the idle relearn procedure. The set screw is meant for electronic adjustment, not mechanical.
