Check if the idle is rough and if rpm dips then dies. You may just need to have the intake cleaned (tuner cleaner) out or check vacuum hoses for loose or leaking ones check also for leaks in the intake after the air filter. Check if all cylinders has spark. Check also if the fuel filter is clogged. If the car just dies without warning you may have to check additional items, the distributor may be going bad, the fuel pump relay or the fuel pump itself. It would be best to have a scanner used to see if you can retrieve errors to accurately identify the issues.

91 f250 runs fine cold but dies when warmed up

How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? If temp related check the coolant temp sensor. Sometimes ford calls it a cylinder head temp sensor. I'd also use a gage and check proper fuel pressure.

1988 f250 efi will start and idle until warm and die

he idle speed in this engine is controlled by a part called the ISC, they get full of sludge and cause stalls, please do the following and it should clear up the problem.

To correct this problem get a can of throttle valve cleaner (it is made by CRC) from the local auto parts store, spray it into the air intake of the engine until you have used about half the can, you will need to hold the idle up while you do this, it will try to stall, after this shut the engine down and disconnect the Negative (-) battery cable for 5 minutes. The intake is now clean, if you continue to have the idle speeds problems you may need to seek the help of a professional.

1988 ford bronco first time u start it for the day the motor speed up and down sometimes it will die warms up shut it off wait a while then start its fine everyday it does this

run codes on it. if you dont know how to pull them manually (you can get the directions on how to do so at fordfuelinjection.com) the testers that plug in to the computer are relitivly cheap.
EFI motors have several sensors to measure temp of air, manifold pressure and fuel mixture that could fail and cause the described problem

Some years of the "F" series pickups had two fuel pumps,, one High Pressure and One Low Pressure.
It could be either one.
