Folks-
It's a 97 SE, 4.0, AW4.
I'm driving to work today, and without any reason whatsoever, as I was about to make the turn into the last leg into our industrial park, the truck just shut off.
Luckily I was able to avoid getting t-boned by crossing traffic.
Attempt to restart resulted in long crank cycle and no refire. Kept trying this with an occasional stumble like the truck was going to refire. White "smoke" out the tailpipe. Presumably this was raw gas hitting the catcon and clouding out (hey, my truck has a milspec smoke generator!).
Kept trying, after about 5 minutes the truck refired, but only with me giving it some gas and grinding away at the starter. Once that happened, it stumbled a little, then finally caught.
Pulled into work, now the truck has long crank cycles and will not catch and run unless I give it some gas (this shouldn't be required of an EFI vehicle).
Thoughts as to what the issue might be? I'm kind of thinking maybe a fuel pump issue.
