89 F150 electrical problem
hi all, been a while since I have been a member after selling my lightning but now I am back with a 89 F150 4X4 4 speed. I am having couple issues may or may not be related hope you guys can help!
First off when driving sometimes the truck just dies but comes right back on sometimes several times sometimes not at all. The only problem if it decides to do it when sitting still the it doesn't want to start. Turns over and its getting fuel just won't fire! Try again couple minutes later its fine.
The next issue is the gas tanks, it runs fine off the rear tank but the gauge either reads way past full or dead empty, on occassion it will read somewhere in between but usually full or empty. The front tank the guage works fine but I never use any fuel from this tank. With the switch on the front tank it still uses gas from the rear tank. Thanks in advance

Well got new ignition module today, 30 bucks at autozone if someone else is looking for one, this is about half of what autozone and dealer wanted. That resolved my truck cutting out so far. Did that this morning had to work rest of day. Will post results of other issues as I get them fixed. Thanks again
