1997 7.3 power stroke won't stay running. Starts just fine and then suddenly quits after about 15 minutes and won't start back up until it sits for awhile..256,000 miles and not a problem until now

SOURCE: Car starts, drive a mile, stalls.

try haviing your alternator checked advance auto parts can check it while its on the car and the can check the battery too. if thats not it it may stall due to a loose battery connection or a loose ground strap. if it stalls and everything turns of (electrical) it may be a connection or ground strap.

Hi. I have two Dynasty LE cars, (a 91 and a 93). Both have the 3.3 litre. The 1991 had almost the same problem as yours except it would only do it once the engine warmed up, (similar to your freeway issue, given distance and time for the engine to warm up to operating temp.) I had it in about three shops before the dealer found an intermittent fault with the cam and crank sensors. I replaced them and now it runs just fine. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: runs about thirty miles then acts like flooded or exhaust plugged

try checking your cadlist convert on your exhusted

SOURCE: Runs 5 minutes then dies. Won't start until engine is cold.

Try the WD-40 spray in intake of throttle body with air intake hose off, to see if it will kick at all, even for a second or 2. We need to confirm whether your losing fuel or spark when it dies. Ignition & fuel, can cause similar symptoms in this case.

Does your car kind of sputter? Rpm's jump and when you try to accelerate the car bogs until the end result is a stall? If so most people assume its the fuel filter and some belive its electrical, but from a sim ilar experience I found out that replacing the cam position sensor was the solution to my problem. Nothing bad has happened since. Hope this helps you pout.
