Truck- 1984 Ford Bronco 2. 2.8l v6 Manual 4X4
I can start my truck no problem. It will idle all day no problem but when I drive it ( about 3 blks) it dies. Wait about 5 min and it will restart. I have replaced the following:
Spark plugs
Fuel Pump
Fuel filter
Fuel line between the filter and pump due to a hole in the line.
Ignition controle module and coil.
None of this has worked it still dies after 3-6blks. I am not sure what to replace next. Any suggestions would be great.

When it dies, does it start right back up for you? If not, have you checked to make sure there is spark and fuel to the engine?

This is going back a ways. Can you tell me if the vehicle has a carb or injection?

Ahhh, the good old days. A carb. Have you taken the carb apart to make sure the needle valve isn't sticking causing the engine not to get enough fuel? When it dies and you have to wait to restart it (few minutes), will it start right back up with starting fluid without waiting?
