Default Help!

I have a 95 f150 300 i6. Its having an issue. I can drive it for a while, then it just falls off the face of the Earth. Have to wait 30 minutes to fire it back up. But when I try to start it up after it dies, it just keeps turning over, and it never starts.

Check fuel pressure with a gauge.

Your ignition coil might be bad. The truck will run till it over heats due to short or some other cause, then you have to wait for the coil to cool back down before it will start again.

Happened on a few vehicles of family and friends.
