I was gifted a 1986 F150 for my birthday a few months back, it’s a 5.0 EFI with 68K (or 168K I don’t know for sure) on it. I’m having a real bothersome issue of this thing shutting off after a few minutes of operation, wether it be idling or driving it will lose power and die.
It’s progressively gotten worse, before it would happen once every few days now it happens multiple times a day to where I can’t even drive it. It’s happening so fast now the temp gauge isn’t reaching operating temp before the engine shuts off and I’m stuck waiting to start it back up.
It if helps at all the Emissions light comes on as it dies, but it doesn’t come on any other time during operation. This thing is much older than me so I’m not too sure what to look for since there’s not much of an OBD system is any at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
