2.8 Refuses to run at random times!
Hey, I just got my car on the road last week. The first time I ever took it out (First time driving a 5 speed) The engine failed while I was coasting in neutral. Which resulted in NO power steering, and NO power brakes. I think it's the fuel filter getting clogged up, so I'm going to change it tommorow.
But this is getting out of hand, It ran fine until last week. It could be bad gas, so I topped it off with some 91 Octane, and some Fuel Injector cleaner (Which usually never works anyway). What else could it be? Injectors?

Re: 2.8 Refuses to run at random times!
It could be a lot of things, but we need more information?
Did you have any electrical power? Did you try to restart it by letting the clutch out? If so, did it show an RPM signal on the tach?
Did it sputter then die. or did it just shut off?
What work has been done recently to it?
Did it start immediatly when you tried?
There are still a lot of variables that need to be addressed
