Engine almost dies.

Hey All,

I have a ‘96 F250 7.3L 5 Speed. Sometimes after start up or sitting idle for a short period of time, the motor almost shuts off, then starts back. It’s completely shutoff once since I’ve owned it. My initial thought is that it’s a fuel issue; air in the line or starvation of some sort, but I could be wrong. The outside temperature doesn’t make a difference.
What could be the issue?

Check tinnerman nut on IPR to see if loose.

Open fuel filter and look at driver side in bowl for small screen. If clogged, no air goes back to tank and fuel pump over heats from lack of flow.
