You need to open up the throttle body and clean out the jets. if been stud for awhile you get a fuel build up as it evaporates, turns into like a dust this blocks the jets. as it gets sticky from new fuel. every time you drop the fuel pressure you are making it sick back down. then driving you are pulling it back up.

Did you check your fuel pump to see if it is functioning right or not .

SOURCE: Engine turns over but won't start / 1995 F-150

Sounds alot like the ignition sensor. In my old Chevys it was under the dist cap, mounted on the dist itself. Mine was flat, slightly curved rectangle shape, with two flat prongs coming out both sides. If it would get an internal break in it, you cant see it. I would have the same problem as you, part was only about $12. And comes out with unscrewing two screws.
Might want to give it a shot.

SOURCE: 2004 Ford Freestar missing Possible fuel pump?

You have to get a pressure check to make sure the right pressure is pushing gas to the motor,and check for any leaks where air might be pulled into the line,which would cause a stuttering engine.

SOURCE: fuel pump location 1988 ford econoline

Theres 2 pumps one in the tank, lift pump, and one in the chassis rail under the driver side. The one in the tank is cheap, the one in the rail is not. The one in the tank only produces low pressure to prime the main pump and if it is broken, may not cause that much of an issue except when starting. the one in the rail is a no-start if it fails. The idea is that the rail pump can supply high pressure for the injectors, so a fuel pressure test at the injector rail will determine which pump is playing up. Hope that helps Tim

SOURCE: I have 1994 ford van e150 5.8l. problem is that

I had the exact same problem with my 94 Ford E-150 Econoline V6. It's the ignition module on the side of your distributor. Replace it and all will be well. Should cost you about $175.00 parts and labor if you have it done professionally. Let me know if this helps! Johnny [email protected]

2000 E150 van has jerking during acceleration had new spark plugs, oil change and filters replaced. The van stalled on the highway could not get it to start. Mechanic said could be fuel pump but started...

The mechanics right on tract,If you have a misfire,you would depending on the severity misfire,run rough and stall but restart,within a short time.Because it is a s fuel pump a sufficient amount of pressure is not maintained and at the same time is being consumed ,causes you to hesitate then stall. Your pump being electical and in the tank is being intermittent, a replacement is what you going to need.

My car starts up n run for thirty seconds then stalls. it stalls also when i press on the gas pedel.

Shortage of fuel is your problem. Please make sure that enough fuel is reaching the injectors/cylinders . And while you are at it please clean the air filters as well.

When accelerator is pressed down the engine stuters until use ease off the pedel. can only use 1/4 to 1/2 throttle.

The most common problem for this is the fuel filter or dirty spark plugs. If it is the plugs you would have a slight miss when idleing or be able to smell gas fumes from exhaust. Also your gas mileage would go down. The fuel filter will cause the vehicle to feel like it will stall and die when you try to accelerate or raise the rpm's in idle. I hope this helps. If you try both and it does not help try pulling the trouble codes and having them checked.

1988 ford ranger 4 speed v6 problems keeping it running.

Fuel filter? There's also a filter on the suction intake inside the gas tank, it can get plugged up. I'd definitely try the filter if you haven't. Good luck. Have you checked the fuel psi coming from the tank? If it's fuel injection, it should be pretty high, 55 - 60 psi. Let me know if I can help.
