Why does my Ford F-150 run out of gas?
Turn off truck, try to restart, engine just cranks. Try to start with gas peddle to floor, engine starts up very poorly (sputtering). I keep holding gas and the sputtering finally clears up. Won’t idle until holdling gas on for about a minute. Then the truck will idle, go to put into gear, stalls out. Really sounds like a fuel starving issue.
Why does my car run when the ignition is turned off?
With the ignition turned off and the car continuing to run, simply remove the plug from the alternator (DO NOT TRY AND REMOVE THE BATTERY POWER WIRE FROM THE POWER STUD!) and the car should shut off if the alternator is creating the problem. If it does not stop running, your feedback problem is coming from something other that the alternator.
