Help please on where to start troubleshooting. This is the 3rd time in the last 1000 miles that my Bronco has done this. The engine will quit while cruising. I'll pull over to the side of the road and try to restart. It will crank, start and then immediately die again. First time I got it towed and let it sit for a week or so but it eventually started and was totally fine for the next few 100 miles. Second time, after about 10 minutes of cranking, starting and dying, it finally started and ran normally and ran perfectly fine for another few hundred miles. Third time happened yesterday. Same exact thing....died while cruising...pull over....crank, start, dies. This time I tried until the battery ran low and then had it towed. One thing I noticed but not sure if matters to the troubleshooting.....all three times started with me really accelerating hard full throttle from a slow speed and then backing off and just cruising at a normal cruising speed. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help on where to get started. I have limited maintenance abilities so unless something simple I'll probably be bringing it to someone else. Just wanted to see if any one on here had some ideas or had this problem before. Thanks
