Did you check for codes?

[Bowman85merc]

my cousins truck was doing something like that, drive for awhile then it'll act like it was running out of gas, after it sat it would start. come to find out the TFI module was getting hot and shutting down, put another on no problem yet. also on his bronco it would run maybe 5 min then die, a new crank sensor fixed that problem,

just a couple other things to check out.
oh and if you have an auto zone they could check them, they did his

just a thought

Hey mang. Im going to go with scotts advise agine. ( It's really a good trick! )

Scotts trick for checking vacume lines is preety good. you take a cigaret and take a drag you dont half to inhale it. Take loose a good size vac line and have the car off. Blow tru the line and look for smoke. I found a few vac leaks that way :P Via Scott.

Also. if you haven't already i would take it back to that shop and tell them asap whats going on. Id try the friendly approach at first.

Also, Im not sure whats all done to install a remote start but you might want to check the manifold for a vac leak? Carb cleaner around it should tell you rather quick. hehe.

I hope it helps. But really if it wasn't doing it before it went into the shop Bring it back. to that shop. Might not be a bad idea to put a cam in your car either if you can. Or stay around and watch the Mechs and what they are doing to your car, I learned from my grandmas mistake never leave your car at a shop.

took it to the alarm shop and it was not them but here is the update on what I have replaceed:
IAC
Spark Plugs
Wires
Distributor Cap
Rotor
Ignition Coil
TPS
and.... it is still stalling but wen I replace the spark plugs 2 had oil on them?? Could that mean something drastically wrong.

[86VickyLX]

Could be the piston rings are not sealing. If thats the case, the engine would shake badly, I don't think it would stall the engine though. Just replace the spark plugs.

Replaced Spark Plugs too

Thick film

I had a similar stalling issue. Mine was the thick film gizmo. At the time Ford claimed they were either bad or they weren't. Mine would work, then stall. Then after a second or two it would work. A mechanic's nightmare. Changed the $12 part, bought the special $5 wrench. Problem solved.

The other electrical demons sound like ignition issues. Could you have more than one problem going on there?

thick film gizmo??

thick film gizmo??

As in the TFI (Thick film integrated) ignition module. I believe (but don't quote me on this, not too up on my panther history), that this replaced the duraspark modules when the 302 lopo went to SEFI. They kept Duraspark on the 351/VV setup, but went to TFI (computer controlled timing) on the 302.


Amirite?

Have you replaced the pcv valve, screen, and grommet? if thats not working, the rear two cylinders will tend to oil foul the plugs. Bad valve seals or clogged oil drain holes in the back of the head will also cause this. The motor tilts downward in the back, and if the motor is all gummy inside, the oil lays back there and drains down around the valve stem.

Thick film

The thick film module is on the bottom of the lower cap on the distributor. It looks like it is just a flat wire connector, but there's more in there than a connector. They would get hot and do all sorts of wacky things. There was a big lawsuit against Ford over this. Everything they made used it. You'd be going down the road and it was like you just shut the car off. Sometimes they'd work again and others it wouldn't. Ford finally moved to a coil pack on the newer 302's as a result. Common issue. The parts counter guys at most stores know all about them.
