motor problems

I have a 1986 F-150 w/a 5.0 Fuel Injected Motor. About a week ago it started to die at random. It then started to happen more frequently. When it would die, after sitting for about ten minutes it would start back up. I changed the high pressure fuel pump and that fixed the problem for about two days. Then it started again so i changed the coil. That didnt help so i move to the pickup in the distributor. Still nothing, won't even start. Will turn over but wont start. Any suggestions?

Get a Haynes manual (or you might find the info here) and diagnose the ignition system. It's likely the ignition module, which is mounted to the distributor.
