Intermittent dieing issue
Here's the scoop
92 F150 302 5 speed 4x4 dual tanks
New IAC
New TPS
New Plenum gasket
New TB gasket
Cleaned TB
Blocked off EGR due to broken EGR to manifold pipe
Fixed all vacuum leaks
The truck runs excellent most of the time. Just replaced all of the above parts to get the high idle to go away. Several times going across town the truck "dies" for a split second and recovers. It doesn't run rough before or after. It doesn't matter what speed, rpm, load, or road roughness it just happens. It dies on both tanks the same so I've ruled that out. This problem has gone from barely dieng to making the truck jerk. I'm at whits end with it and if I can't figure it out soon its getting a carb. Also if it matters my speedo doesn't work. Help!!!!

Sounds like an ignition fault so switching to carb is unlikely to help.
Have all the grounds been check for tightness? Have you checked for any stored error codes?

The ignition switch that's connected to where you put the key in I assume? I've tried wiggling the key going down the road and that does nothing.
