Truck keeps dying
Hi, new member here. I have a 95 f150 xlt with a 5.8 I just finished rebuilding it last week. It started right up no problem, not even a check engine light, and idles just fine no smoke or anything but about a minute after running it starts to drop rpms and blowing white smoke untill it slowly dies. Giving it gas while this is happening just makes it die faster. I do have a coolant leak on the lower intake at the back of the engine that I need to fix i don't know if it could be related or not, and the truck smells like gas really badly while its running. This is my first project car so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
