It has plenty of crank, and it sounds like it is firing but not getting fuel. Both times this month after letting it sit for 20 min it fired right up and idles and accelerates fine. I don’t get any “check engine” lights so I’m not sure if the mechanic will get anything from the computer.

12 people found this helpful. Had a hopped up Grand Torino back in the 70’s which did the exact same thing. Ford mechanic relative told me to carry a gallon jug of water in the trunk.

What happens when the alternator goes bad on a F150?
The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, and keeping your F150 running. If the alternator goes bad, the vehicle will run off of the power supply in the battery (which is there mostly for starting the vehicle and as a backup reserve). Once the battery has been depleted, the ignition system will no longer be able to fire properly.
