2001 Ford F-150 5.4L

When starting after the truck has set for several hours it won't stay running. I have to hold the gas on as I put it into gear, after a few miles it will stay running.

Sounds like you have a vaccum leak, check underthe hood for visable leaks, repair as needed to recheck system.
