I have a 99 with 45000 miles and last week this problem started.
When I start the truck my tach will come and go and sometimes
the engine will stumble, I notice that when I have no tach there is not enough power to even pass a Ford! When I get my tach back the power returns. After about 10min of driving the problem is gone. It does this everytime I start the truck after it has been off for awhile, I noticed that sometimes the lift pump doesn't even come on when I first turn the key on, also I put a digital volt meter across my lift pump terminals and read 6. 5 volts after I bump the starter and 11. 5 volts when I turn the key off after I have bumped the starter. I can't always pull up my DTC codes either or erase them, I have 336, 118, 1689 and 1690.
Does it sound like I may have mositure in a connector?
