Not getting enough spark
After going through the motions with my truck, I've found a new problem.
1988 F150 5.8 ltr.
Drove my truck to the gas station. While filling up, the truck stalled out. I turned the key and it kept kicking but would not turn over. I managed to get the truck started and then drove it home as it wanted to stall out on the way.
After getting the truck home, it stalled out again & would not turn over. Thought it wasn't getting fuel, but found it wasn't getting the spark when I pulled out a plug connected to the a plug wire.
I seem to be having an on going problem. My truck runs for a while, now it stalls out and doesn't want to start until things cool off?
Something is getting hot & making it stall until it cools down. What could it be?

X2 to Conanski suggestion.
Where'd you find those definitions?
<table table="" style="font-size: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td>23</td> <td><center>X</center></td> <td> </td> <td><center>X</center></td> <td>Closed throttle TPS voltage higher or lower than expected.</td></tr></tbody></table>
Try it again and post the codes you get if any, ('88 model will post 2 digit codes).
