5.4 Stalling Out

I have a 97 f250 with the 5.4 and it always stalls out when im below 1/4 tank gas and stopped. when i am above 1/4 it stalls every once in a while.

Any suggestions?

Too much electronics in that engine, try the modular 5.4 forum. This is the FE engine forum...old but great engines. No fuel injection or computers here!!

good luck

Some of us "old" people aren't that old, just wise enough to own a REAL truck with a spaghetti-less engine compartment.

When was the last time you stood next to your engine in your 97 while you were working on it, hrmmm?

5.4 Stalling Out

Guys, This one of the best run forums on this site, so let's not let it go the way of General Con. If we can help our friend, please offer, if not let's let it lay before it gets pulled from this area.

thanks

2cents:
fuel strainer(in the tank) came off or has a hole in it. Or fuel line near there has a hole. Or a dying fuel pump.

well i am truly sorry for the location of this post but thank you all for your input. I believe 3 years ago we had a recall notice for the fuel line...I think thats what it is.


Thank you
