What’s the RPM on a 2002 Ford F-150?

What happens when the alternator goes bad on a F150?
The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, and keeping your F150 running.

Once the battery has been depleted, the ignition system will no longer be able to fire properly.
Why does my engine stall when I throttle down?
On mine engines when the IAC went bad it would stall when you throttle down. the IAC also made a noise sounds like air bleeding out of something if you throttle down rapidly. I also saw some conversations about the oil pressure switch causing similar issues if it’s stuck closed. I can’t seem to find it on my motor though.
