F.N.G. needs some help already.
Ok, so, I'm new to the ford world. Laugh as long as you need to. Now to my problem...the year model of my truck is a 1993, 5.8 engine, auto. The problem I'm having is for some reason it is losing all power, drivetrain wise; engine kills sometimes, when I get going down the road. It only does this when the 'check engine' is off. When it lights up the truck runs fine but has a hard kick coming out of first gear, opposite when it is off. On top of that, if I sit in park and let it idle, when I put it in reverse it idles down real bad and dies. Any help has a thank you in advance. If anyone is having the same or simular problem and can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

start off checking for codes, sounds similar to a trans issue i used to have. got any light on your overdrive selector doing anything? check your trans fluid level and make sure all connectors are tight

I'm not too sure what you mean by the overdrive selector light doing anything. If it helps at all, sometimes I have to turn the overdrive off just to get enough power to keep it running. Once I turn it back on, the truck acts as if I just let off the gas. I have to give it more gas to keep it at a constant speed.

sounds like your trans is causing your issues, either take it to a trans shop or get some trans mission repair manuals for the E4OD. if you're inclined you can do some minor stuff for the trans, like anything in the front pump or the solenoid pack in the bottom. run your codes and see what you come up with
