Camshaft position sensor had a recall last year and was a notorious problem. If you have the money and do not want to wait you can buy the part yourself and swap it out with a 10 mm socket. Call Ford dealer and see if you can bring it in.

Did you try changing the Fuel Filter?  That did it for my Kia Sorento 2004.

generally your problem can be traced to a faulty anti-drainback valve in the fuel pump. After sitting for an extended time fuel must be re-filled and pressurized before engine will start. Second primary cause is a leaking fuel injector which does the exact same thing from the other end of the system but, this is also accompanied by a puff of smoke after starting.
Other causes can be low comrression from engine wear, or, a weak ignition coil but these are far less common.

SOURCE: Blke runs for a couple miles then dies

Now, this may sound overly simple but I've seen it work more times that I care to tell. Next time you go for a ride, loosen your fuel cap. Don't take it off, just loosen it. If the vent system in your fuel tank is not working, it will do this exact thing you're describing. Check your vent system to be sure it's open and working. I've seen rusty fuel caps not vent and I've seen "dirt dobber" wasp nest built in the vent tubes of fuel tanks. The bike runs for a short distance, sputters and dies. Shortly, it start back up but will do the same thing in just about the time and distance.

If that's not it, go by an electronics store and buy a small can of "component cooler". Take the cover off the ignition unit. Ride the bike until it dies. When it dies, spray the electronic ignition unit with the component cooler and see if the bike will start up immediately after you cool the unit. If it does, try it again until you're satisfied that the problem is heat affecting the ignition unit. If this test proves not to be the problem. we'll have to look for something else.

You can also try running it without the air filter. Run it until it dies and then look into the carb and "milk" the throttle a couple of times. You should see a jet of fuel from the accelerator pump squirt into the carb throat. If you do, then your problem is not fuel related. If you don't see the fuel squirt into the carb, your engine is starving for fuel for some reason. Check the fuel supply hoses and the petcock. The petcock on your bike is vacuum operated. There is a small vacuum line that feeds vacuum to the VOES switch and the backside of the petcock. I've seen lots of these petcocks go bad and leave the riders stranded with a full tank of fuel but none to the carb. I'd replace the petcock with either a pre-1996 unit or a good aftermarket unit, a manually operated one.

The oil going into the breather is common. On a bike that is several years old, like yours, the small "umbrella" seals in the rocker box cover has probably hardened and is not sealing well. To fix the problem, pull the rocker boxes off and replace the unbrellas and the gaskets. Reroute the crankcase breather system away from the air cleaner. Good Luck!

15.5hp johndeere riding mower just quit running

If it sits for awhile and then starts up then I would say you have an overheating issue. That is where I would start to trouble shoot. Could be a bad heat sensor...there are usually a couple of them.

What can cause 2000Nissan Frontier run good for 8-10miles then loss power, sputter then quit running?

Sounds like it could have a stopped up catalytic converter, on way to tell for sure is when it loses power check the exhaust coming out if there is little air flow it is stopped up and simply can't breathe,

Stalling

As with any no start issue, you will have to figure out if you are dealing with a spark or fuel problem to proceed.
Either problem could be a faulty relay.
If it is a no spark problem, check to see if you are getting voltage to the coil.
Any trouble codes stored in the computer ?

Series II 4.0 litre V8 Land Rover Discovery runs but stalls out after a few miles. The vehicle restarts after cooling down it seems. This generally takes a couple of hours or a tow back home. Service

Sounds like the same issue I had with my 2002 Discovery 2 V8. Mine used to run for about 10 minutes, then die, usually in the most inconvenient locations! The Crank sensor is in need of replacement. It sits near the exhaust downpipe (behind a heat shield) but obviously this shield isn't enough as they die after about 80,000-100,000 miles. Just get it replaced and I think your issues will solved.

STARTS and runs well but quits and wont start again until it sits awhile.Acts like vapor lock,checked fuel and spark,compression and timing,all good.Replaced fuel filter,mass air sensor and cut holes in...

I had the same problem but when I changed the Mass Air Flow it was solved. I am suprised that you changed the MAF and you are still getting problems. Please get an OBD check. The problem must be having something to do with electronics and the ODB will definetly be able to read it.
