Truck would start then sputter and stall. Would turn the key, it would crank but not start, eventually it started. Put deicer in gas tank, truck was fine for a week. On the week-end truck started, was warming it up, after a few minutes it started to sputter and stalled. Turned the key, same problem as before, cranking but wouldn't start. Finally got it going, made it to work, after work same thing, wouldn't start. Put deicer in gas tank, it started, I tried to drive it to my mechanic to leave it there so it could be looked at on Monday. While at the red light the truck sputtered and stalled, had to get a tow about 2minutes away from my mechanics, $80.
Thought it may be a shot fuel pump. I found a video on YouTube about a corroded fuel pump module. This ended up being the same problem my truck had, got it replaced for $359 at my mechanics. If you have a similar problem with your F-150 I recommend getting the fuel pump module checked first. It is located under the spare tire, after a few years of winter salt the module become corroded. Mine had holes in it just like on the video I saw. Some misdiagnose it as a fuel pump problem, have module checked first. This module should be a recall corroding the way they do.
