I have a 1989 Ford Crown Vic. Here lately the car will die going down the road. It will usually start right back up. SO, I replaed the in line fuel filter and it was fairly dirty. It ran great for a few days and started doing this again. I thought maybe the IAC and unplugged it and ran good for a day. Ran fine this morning till I stopped and it died in the driveway and will won't run. What could cause this???

Most likely the fuel pump,when the fuel filter gets that restricted,it most of the time,is not long before the fuel pump goes out,because of the strain on the pump.

4.6L? Does it crank? Coil wires on? Are all the injector wires back in the right place? Did you check your fuses? Wires pinched? Ground wires back in place? Alternator plugged back in? Air box on and plugged in properly? Fuel rail on properly? Just retrace the steps you took last. It will be an "oh, yeah" moment, Paul
I would check the plugs around and on the engine. Also check to see if the inertia switch in the trunk was tripped, that cuts off power to the fuel pump in an accident.
they are pressure fit in place. and they are pried out
on the 4.6 litre. if you want to bleed off the fuel pressure,on the fuel rail is a clip that is moved first,and then the fuel line can be disconnected.be careful,the spray is under pressure.cover it with a rag
Have you checked or changed your fuel filter lately. The particles in the filter dam up while the engine is running. When it stalls, all the particles fall back away from the outlet so the engine will start again allowing the particles to dam up...etc etc.
i am trying to install an aftermarket temperature guage with capillary tube into my 1988 crown victoria ltd 5.0 efi. where does the capillary tube mount?
When you turn the key on does the check engine light come on? If not it may be burned out. It sounds like a MAP sensor or an O2 sensor is bad. I would suggest taking it to autozone as they do free diagnostic and seeing if a code comes up. If it is a sensor it should, if not it may be the idle sensor not reading right in the ECU. More than likely it is one of the sensors though.
