Engine intermittently dies then will crank but not start. If left to sit for an hour or more the truck will fire up immediately. This is a V6 2.8L engine with carburetor. I have replaced the fuel filter as well as the after market universal electric fuel pump that the truck is equipped with. During failure no fuel is being delivered by fuel pump even though the pump is running. I have removed the fuel cap, it makes no difference. Is there a vent line or valve of some kind that if failing could be causing some kind of vacuum lock? What should I try next? I cannot afford to take the truck to a repair facility so having the ecm scanned for codes is not an option for me.
