I bought this excellent vehicle new in 2001 equipped with the 5.4L engine and the rather expensive tow package. With 59K on the odometer she has been trouble free until now. I mostly only drive it when towing the toys.
It started when she would not start after being driven until it cooled down. When she runs she purrs perfectly. Then the engine began shutting down while driving and now won’t start at all.
I replaced the IAC and checked the operation of the inertia switch (good, I even bypassed it once). All fluids are fine and she was not overheating. My OBD II did not detect any trouble codes from the computer so I am stumped.
Can any of you experts out there advise me where to start troubleshooting? I promise to be a loyal member of this forum as they have helped me greatly with my flock of vehicles and I enjoy helping others when I can.
