Intermittent shut down issues
I have an E-150 1991 5.0
The gas turns off while driving. I have to put it in neutral and turn the key back then turn the key forward and it starts right back up.
So far replaced the fuel pump, fuel relay (green half), ignition switch, fuel filter, wires and plugs.
Any ideas? I am out of options.
Thanks

Replaced the distributor and ignition module and now it works! Seems down on power on hills, but at least it runs.
Thanks! good to hear that I might be heading in the right direction. Not too excited to re-time the beast.

You may have a bad in tank fuel pump or one that is inoperative and you may be just running on the frame mounted fuel pump.
Or you may have junk in the fuel reservoir on the frame or need to replace the fuel filter on the frame.
But first you need to check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge to find out if your fuel pressure is holding going up hills. Just slide the dog house back a little so the gauge hose comes through into the van so you can see the gauge.
The fuel pressure should hold near 40psi while going up the hill.
