Job I know, let me give you a little history on this, the guy I got it from was a second owner, he said he purchased the truck and installed a new pmd, let it idle until it ran out of fuel, and just never did anything else with it as he didn't know how to bleed the lines, and he had another truck, well a few months ago I end up with truck (he owed me money)thinking, a set of new batteries, added fuel, and new fuel filters, a touch of eather, and varoom, well only if I really had good luck, but here goes, new batteries, and a touch of eather, and we cranked up just fine, yippee, took it for some short trips, around property, and all seems well, decided to take it to town, on open road, and once around 60 or so, it sputters, and dies, figured trash in line from sitting up, cranks right back up and again, we try to go about our way, and a few minutes later sputters and dies, well this time looking around we find bad fuel leak, seemed to be from back of motor, so towed it home and look for issue, cannot really pinpoint leak, so we get new filter, and re do it, no go, then researching, find out there is a valley where the fuel is more than likely gathering to pour out, so off comes the intake, don't see any visible leaks, but change orings in filter canaster, and all rubber fuel lines, and intake back on, upon bleeding the air from the system, and checking, luckily no more leaks, system dry, start up with a touch of eather, and sputters a bit and dies, again sputters and dies, (expected) then she cranks with no missing, sputtering nothing, sounding like she should, let it sit in yard and idle, for a while, a pop or two initially, then smooths right out, temps look good, fuel pressure looks good, all systems go, down the road, plenty of power, but some light issues, and back, no misses skips, and no leaks, thankfully, well after idling for 5 mins or so, back down the road, not to get 2 miles from home and she shuts down, no sputtering, no spitting, just like the key was shut off, any ideas anyone, and the starter needs to be retightened, so I just came in tonight,

Please help, need a way to go, as my f150 died,
