Truck keeps dying out. Driving along and it will just die, (Pop start it while still moving and it'll run or sometimes turn the key and it'll fire back up) Dies all the sudden. Replaced the coil. Twice. I'm out of ideas and getting frustrated.. 351 5.8 with a stage 3 Drag Cam, Ported heads, Stage 3 clutch with a 5 speed if that makes anything to ya. Any ideas would be great.

Check for loose connections/fuse at the key/ ignition switch. Check for loose connection where the ignition gets the power (starter motor terminal)

2001 explorer sport , fuel pump? vacuum leak? 619 scan tool data provided, any suggestions/solutions

The fuel pump is suspect but I believe there's also a fuel filter inline on the underside of the drivers side chassis. Fuel works off pressure so if the filter is clogged, the pressure remains between the fuel tank and the filter. Once the fuel has siphoned off between the filter and injectors, it dies but because there's positive pressure at the fuel pump, it won't come on until the pressure slowly seeps past the clog after hours. It's worth a look!
