Hi. On Aug.2 I was driving my 83 f60 when it suddenly stalled out. guages were all good, wasnt running hot, oil pressure good. It started again but only went for about a quarter mile before conking out again. It didnt respond to the gas or choke. Had to start it several times (often waiting several minutes in between starts) like that before I could get it home. It was hot outside, about 90 degrees, but not overwhelming heat and the temperature gauge was plumb in the middle.
Parked it overnight. On Aug. 2, it started fine in my garage and was idling nicely until I got it up to temperature. then, the same thing, the idle drifts off and it stalls and it doesnt respond to the gas or the choke.
Last month, the fuel pump was replaced after it conked out on me on the interstate. also the spark plugs and the belts. the engine has been running great. I took it out over the weekend for a 150 mile jaunt with no problems.
I suspect the fuel pump, but Im puzzled because I just got it replaced. Its almost like somebody is turning off the fuel supply.
Any suggestions? Vapor lock? Would that last overnight?
Thanks
