Engine dies randomly.
My 94 F-150 4x4 351W E4OD with EFI keeps dying randomly. It dies while driving. Thought heat was the issue but it would not start after 3 hours of being off.
No high heat on my gauge. But there was a lot of heat under the hood at least one of the times it died.
Voltage seems fine.
It usually starts again if I wait a couple minutes.
Thoughts?

Whoops. Posted to the Gen 5 (67-72) earlier about my 72. Forgot to change it to the Gen8/9.
Admin, please feel free to move this to the 90's trucks.
As for your suggestions. Good ideas. The filter does come to mind. Will have to see where they put it. Provided there is only one.
Miss my 72' 360. No damn computers! Just linkages & vacuum lines. Why did we ever leave mechanical fuel pumps, btw? My 94 has 2 very expensive pumps in the tanks. My 360 had 1 mechanical pump. On the engine was a great place. Way easier to work on.
Anyhow, I'll check those asap. Thank you.

Ford had a boat load of bad TFI's. I had on on a small mercury Lynx in 92 that just stopped working as I was going thru an intersection. I thought it was a bad coil-wrong! The parts guy had a new TFI on the counter when I went back. He said " I knew that you would be back, we've had a dozen of these go out this week".
