Getting an IDI?

I am kinda looking at getting an 88 7.3. The guy said he's replaced a lot of stuff, but If you go to drive it down the street, it will stall in 2 minutes. I haven't looked at it yet. i don't know a whole lot about the idi's. He's replaced the batts, alternator, gps+relay, ps ppump, batt cables, headlight switch and tranny filter. Any ideas on what could be the problem? He thinks it has 180k on it. Thanks for the help.

Not enough info ...

How does it stall, does it surge and die or just go dead ??

Does it start back up ??

How much fuel is in it ??
