While driving the truck completely shut off, no warning lights, no sputtering nothing. It had to sit for about an hour before I would finally crank. I would turn over but not crank. The fuel was hot when we checked to see if fuel was pumping when trying to crank. It will crank and go 10 yards up to 2 miles (m or l) and cut off again. This is a 1999. Help!!!
The problem you have I believe it is the cam sensor.....Low coolant level will cause the same failure ...If coolant isn't touching sensor which is located in the coolant reservoir...when coolant sloshes up and down while driving it will cause this to happen intermittently..Or the coolant sensor is just faulty...If it was fuel related it shouldn't crank at all...The best thing to do is have a dealership scan the system for faults rather than use a cheap scanner."..You can also check to see if there are any recalls....Check wiring for loose connections..also sometimes the negative battery cable will definitely cause this...It will become loose and the vibration will make it happen..and contamination. .".So check battery cables,coolant sensor wiring,and wiring at cam sensor which is located at front of engine behind fan ...If all cables,wiring and coolant level are good take it and have it scanned...Also check oil level...Hope this helps...I would call dealer first and ask about cam sensor recalls..,Then make an appointment..If it is a recall they will take their time and do all money making jobs before yours ...I know because I work at a dealership...They don't make any money for recalls...Good luck...Brooks...

These things had serious problems with crank sensors. There was even a recall on them. If you can get ahold of code reader and check it and it has any type of crank or cam sensor code replace it. Ford now sells them for under 50 bucks. If you slide under the vehicle and look toward the pass side of motor right above the crankshaft dampner on front of motor you will see a sensor that has a metal bale on it and one 10mm size screw holds it in. Remove the connector, take the 10mm bolt loose with a 10mm 6point socket so it dont strip. Then spray some penetrating oil on it. Grab some channel lock pliers and work it back and forth till it comes out. Reverse to install be sure lube the oring with oil before installation. We keep cranks sensors in stock now.
SOURCE: truck cuts off while driving down the road.
Replace the TFI module. Ford back in 1986 thur 1993 had problems like the one you wrote about. TFI module gets hot and shuts car or truck off then when it cools sometmies starts and sometimes not.
SOURCE: truck after engine gets hot starts sputtering
You're getting a condition known as "vapor lock" or hydrostatic lock. This happens when you run your fule lines too close to a heat source (exhaust, engine, etc). You can solve it by re-routing it away from those heat sopurces...this should help.
SOURCE: Engine shut down while driving, now it won't start.
Check your oil level. If it is ok then a computer diagnostic scan should be done to have all the engine sensors tested and checked.
