problem with my 1989 ford e250 conversion van

Asked by Oaxacakate May 16, 2015 at 03:59 PM about the 1990 Ford E-Series E-250 3 Dr STD Econoline Cargo Van Extended

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have just purchased a 1989 ford e250 conversion van. It has apparently
been sitting for several years. The mileage is 59,000. It stops running after 5
miles. I have had it towed 4 times in the past 2 weeks. Each time, it only ran
for 5 miles. It would barely start but if left for an hour it would start again.
They have replaced the computer, the distributor, the starter, the ignition, the
battery, the fuel pump and filter, the ground wire, the battery cables, blew out
the fuel lines and here I am stuck again. Any ideas please?

hi,, I have a 1989 Ford F 350 motorhome that was sitting for 10 years, I had the tank cleaned, fuel pumps changed, plugs, coil. It runs and starts great but bogs down after a couple of kms,,,doesn,t quite stall.
