My 1995 E150 with the 5.8L v8, all the sudden died yesterday while I was driving it. The weather hot yesterday - in the upper 80's. I did not have the a/c on. When the engine died, the temperature gage was just slighly beyond the middle mark. The engine was not over heating. I tried to restart the car, but the engine went rough and it refued to run smoothly. I parked the car and one of my friend took me home. Later in the evening when the temperature has dropped considerably, my wife and I went back to the place where I parked the van. I started the van and drove home without any problem. The van drove normally as through nothing has happened. Does anyone know what may have caused the engine to die when the temperature was hot? The check engine light did not light up. I do not know even where to look. Thanks for your help.
