i changed my ignition coil last week and that totally cleared up every problem i was having until just about a half hour ago. my 99 f150 (4.6l--v8) totally died at a stop sign, and this is reminiceint of the problems i was having before. the exception here is that it will not restart after sitting for a few minutes. also, there was a small amount of smoke that dissipated after a few moments and i was left with an immobile truck and the lingering smell of what i can best describe as 'burning army men'.

any ideas? im not vehicle savvy at all, so i'm sure im being vauge. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

My suggestion is to re-post this thread in the '97-'03 section, as I'm they have more expertise on your year truck than us '80-'96ers lol

 

holy crap, thanks

 

No problem buddy
