5.0 dying after two min drive
1990 F150 with 5.0. Motor has had work done to it before me. swapped to a carburetor (or complete motor swap), electric fan and turned down open headers. The truck idles fine. When it goes down the road it dies after just a few blocks. It will start back up after 60minutes? This came to us as a non runner "that just needs a fuel pump" issue.
We put a low pressure pump in the tank that is identical to a pump that would be in a fuel injected 1988 model year. This truck does not have a pump or reservoir on the frame rail.
The first thought is vapor locking. The second thought is needs fuel regulator.
Any suggestions?
thank you!
