93' Dying when up to operating temp
93' 5.0 single cab long bed with dual tanks
My 93 has an odd problem , it will start and idle fine but whenever it gets up to operating temp , it will sputter and die while driving , it will not restart after only crank and if it does start it doesnt run on all cylinders and dies within a few seconds. If i let the truck cool off it will start right back up , but will die when warm. Check engine light is on , and the battery light is on , run a test with an obd1 scanner and the only code it pulls is 63 , tps sensor, could the tps be the cause of all this ?
sorry for the long post , new to the forum, thanks.

Scanners are NOT reliable on these trucks, so you should return that one for refund ASAP. The proof is that a '93 only uses 3-digit codes, so 63 is not only wrong - it's meaningless for your truck. Read this page, and then read codes using a jumper wire:

You should put ALL the truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location in your profile & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you.

Not really - the pumps are cooled by the fuel flowing through them. They only get hot if there's debris in the tank, or they're run dry.
