Good question. Many things to eliminate. You might want to have a mechanic narrow this down with a diagnosis. Otherwise, here are possible causes:
Fuel pressure regulator: If the fuel pressure regulator is faulty, it can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check the fuel pressure regulator to see if it's working properly.
Fuel pump relay: A faulty fuel pump relay can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check the fuel pump relay to see if it's working properly.
Crankshaft position sensor: If the crankshaft position sensor is faulty, it can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check the crankshaft position sensor to see if it's working properly.
Ignition switch: A faulty ignition switch can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check the ignition switch to see if it's working properly.
Battery: If the battery is weak or dead, it can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check the battery to see if it's working properly.
Fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You mentioned that you already changed the fuel filter, but it's possible that there's still an issue with it.
Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to start and then stall immediately. You may want to check for any vacuum leaks in your truck.
1) spark plugs
2) Ignition coils
3) Low fuel pressure, bad Fuel filter (it's inside fuel tank with Fuel pump)
4) Low Fuel pressure, damaged fuel pump (inside fuel pump)
5) check for Fuel Pump Relay on PDMI. There are several issues with that relay. You can swap with fog light relay (its located also on PDMI) to check for damage.

if you can find it, take the fuel pump relay out and try to start it up. it may start and stall. thats ok, OR just loosen the pipe at the filter slowly, the gas will leak out, then it will be ok to remove the filter.
You may have frozen fuel lines. Sounds like not enough fuel is getting to the engine. You may need to bleed the system and change fuel pump, fuel filter and check the injectors
92 max
I own a 92 max 370 kms runs good but one day just cuts out while doing about 30 km, I pull over i can start it no problem but when I touch the pedal to accelerate the car stalls out.
It got worse to the point of sputtering on the highway , sometimes i could keep it alive by working the pedal but others would slow down and stall out.
I have changed the fuel filter and plugs seemed to make it a bit better but still stalling. I ran it in my driveway for 10 mins on idle then it stalls out
did they change the fuel filter at the same time?a bad filter will cause the fuel pump to overwork and can cause premature failure.you may also have a fuel pump relay going bad,it is probably located in a fuse/relay box under the hood.
First I would replace the fuel filter if it hasn't been changed recently, might check the fuel pump relay, might be going out. Lastly, it might just be the fuel pump going out. I just had to replace mine on a '96 SHO. Hope this helps
