I would check the MAF MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR because my 98 ranger did the same exact thing it would start up hard and only run for a minute or less and then die! I thought it was the fuel also but that wasn't the problem if you know of some one with a truck like yours just swap out the MAF sensor and try that if it doesn't work than at least you won't waste any money I just barrowed one from my neighbor and the truck started right up and ran fine!!
