well... I just bought this truck yesterday. its a 1990 f150 4x4 with a 302. its got 140k on it. runs great though... But really randomlyit will die. not at speed... but when I am changing from drive to reverse... or park to drive... and also the engine will be cold when this happends.... do I just need to warm it up? do I need to change the feul filter? any suggestions?
