Engine runs for a few minutes and dies

Some engines have a low oil cutoff switch. If the oil level drops to a certain point it kills the engine. Your oil level may be close enough that after starting and running for a little bit the level drops enough to kill the motor. After sitting for awhile the level rises enough to allow the engine to run again check the level and add oil if necessary.
Hope this helps.

If the engine overheated then the antifreeze may be getting into the engine, indicating a cracked head or block. check for water in oil via dipstick. .

possiable coil or fuel filter and or fuel pump

You must have a fault test run on the engine control computer (called an OBD2 fault code scan), there is likely a fault code or two stored that will help diagnose the problem.

if it has a 7.3l then try the cranksensor it,s right on front of engine beside harmonic balancer on the passenger side they are notorious for this and aren,t expensive to replace hope this helps

there is water in the fuel, there should be a fuel water seperator in the engine compartment, look in your owners manual and it should tell you the steps to drain the water from it, it should take a few minutes

What engine? 2.4 or 2.5

Try fresh fuel making sure oil and gas mixture is correct. Carb might need cleaning and adjustment.

Could be a clogged fuel filter for tank 1 or could be the fuel pump for tank 1..

Hope this helps !!
rate me good ;o)

it sounds a lot like the Timing is off. I would locate an Authorized Mechanic to set the Timing.
