Use a scan tool to check the accuracy of the Coolant temp sensor and the Intake air temp sensor. They should match before it's started.

the truck has 89,000 miles it also set about 14 yrs.If the sensor's are bad and I replace them would that solve the problem?

I have no idea. The car sat for 14 years. Who knows what could have happened in that time or what could have been living in it.

You need to have the car inspected to determine what needs to be done to it.

didn't see it in the tread but a vehicle that sits for long times without assertive care is about certain to show problems,
