3.0L starts then dies
When I start my 98 Ranger 3.0 w/auto it runs then dies. I tried it for about 20 minutes and it did exactly the same thing.

Tell us more. If this is all you are going to give us to go by over the INTERNET, take it to a good local shop.

Will continue to run if you hold your foot on the accelerator??? If it does, then I would say the IAC valve is bad. It's a cylindrical shaped object with a 2 wire electrical connector on it, mounted on the throttle body....

If I were looking at it, I would (in order):
1) Check fuel pressure at the rail, KOEO
2) Check fuel pressure at the rail KOER, right after it starts
3) Check fuel pressure at the rail right when it dies.
4) If fuel pressure when it dies is around 35-40 PSI, I would next, and promptly, check for spark.
I assume that right now the truck is not driveable.
