Does anyone know why the truck is doing this could it be the computer?? We really need to find out because we need a vehicle to drive.
You could do a test when it won't start to see if you have an ignition problem or a fuel delivery problem. I know this vintage of Fords well enough to say 90% it's an ignition problem. One of these: 1. the coil 2. the ignition module, bolted to the side of the distributor 3. the PIP inside the distributor. I would start off by replacing the coil with a cheap one from Autozone if you have one near you. Post back with any questions.
