Engine Performance problem
1988 Ford F250

My truck will start and run just fine. Then after it gets hot it dies out.So far when running down the hiway it will continue to run. as soon as i get in to town and stop and go it stalls. I wait 30min and it will run just fine again.

Hi poday700, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

To catch this problem don't wait do below immediately when it dies out to determine if its fuel or spark issue

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
