Sound like you coil is going out. Need to replace the coil and go ahead and do a complete tuneup, plugs, plug wires, distributer cap & rotor button. It will run like new, plus a can of SEAFOAM for the gas tank to clean to fuel system.

I try to start the van but get nothing- no lights- nothing. the battery looks old but I can jump start but even after running for awhile will not start acts like it is dead.

Battery is not holding a charge great enough to start the engine, acts like it is dead. Get a new battery would be my first step.

1988 Ford F350 460,fuel injected, Wont start,,, Coil only sends spark once per revolution of the rotor

Hello Donn,

UN-fortunately 1988 is WELL before the OBD
(on board diagnostic)... DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
Codes (DTC) got standardized...

So DAYS can be wasted looking for commonality...
(troubles).

Rather than assuming your spark, timing, fuel, ECU...
Oxygen Sensors. INJECTORS are all askew...

I would suggest that if you SATURATED YOUR
HEADER BOLTS with LIQUID WRENCH...

and opened you EXHAUST ahead of your catalytic
converters... ahead of your mufflers... you engine would run...

Obviously DANGEROUS to operate in that condition... at
least you would know what had to be REPLACED before
you can operate your vehicle SAFELY.

If you decide the job is a bit too much... at least
check out your PURCHASE cost of a replacement
CAT and/or MUFFLER...

300-6 cylinder runs fine cold but the farther you drive it developes a dead miss ; all tune up has been done

It may be your ignition coil. After the engine has run awhile, the coil gets hot, and starts to break up. Have you isolated this miss to 1 cylinder or does it seem to affect all cylinders?

Car lights, dash lights, tac, radio and clock all go out but

Look for missing or loose grounds. LOAD test the battery, holding a charge and ability to perform are two different things.

Missing when stopped or at low speeds

You may have a problem with dirty fuel injector nozzles try buying a quality fuel injector cleaner, run it through a couple of full tank of gas, it may help, if it does it is a cheap fix.
