truck has a new motor 5.0 305 with avout 1000 miles on it. the truck was parked shortly after the motor was installed. now putting it back in service i am having a problem with low idle and no power. motor stalls when put in gear and idle is low. new plugs were installed and also a new fuel pump ( ethenol ate the old one, truck was running very well prior to being parked. vaccum shows @ 14 in and needle is fast and erratic. if i disconnect the pcv vale line to base of throttle body, the rpm increases alot but pcv valve appears to be free and working corrctly.
