cutting out

I had this happen to me once I got on the highway the first time after buying my first Bronco II. It was an 86 2.9 Litre EFI. I thought I bought a lemon. I felt sick to my stomach because of it, but after changing the PLUGGED fuel filter I had no problems with it. I am assuming that this could be the problem with your truck as well.
