Hey fellows! I've got a 97 F-150 that doesn't want to start. It's pulled this a few times where it will just die driving down the road. I'll wait a few minutes and start it back up and it runs fine for another few 1000 miles. Now it won't start at all. I've heard that 97 Ford trucks have had lots of problems with the MAF sensor and knew someone who had a MAF sensor problem that acted similar to this in a Dodge. Just curious as to whether or not it could keep a truck from starting. Thanks for any help you might offer.

 

Could be a fuel problem, check fuel pressure and fuel filter

 

Here is something I found on mine,, crack the throttle a little while you are cranking.. I have had my IAC stick closed and not let any air in to start the engine.
