Default Low power

I inherited a ‘96 F150 XL 4x4 5.8 from my late grandfather. I have little experience working on vehicles but the knack to learn.

I’ve noticed an intermittent issue where my truck will stall. I am able to restart without issue other than it takes a bit longer than usual. I’m thinking it’s a fuel delivery issue. Maybe a dirty injector or bad plug/wire? I’m just looking for some insight on where to start to figure out the issue.

Also, I’ve noticed the truck has some negative camber and I’m not sure what to check to diagnose the issue.

I’m looking for any and all recommendations. If I’ve left out any important information please let me know and I’ll update as needed. Thank you!

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 (nearest city) 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 all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.

Based on what diagnosis?

What's wrong with the plugs & wires?

Start with learning how it's supposed to work, and the diagnose why it's not working that way.

All of the front suspension, and then let an alignment shop re-check your work and align it. Read this & the NEXT several pages:
