My D1 has had this problems for about 6 yrs and no mechanic friends can figure this out! I have a 4.6, Mallory ignition, rotor and module new, Bosch coil good, have spark, fuel pressure, new fuel pump.
Problem: when I’m off roading driving slowly like 10-15 mph for hrs, engine will not start if I turn off engine. I have to open the hood, let it cool off for 30 mins-1 hr and it might start. I also noticed that the coil gets really hot but I’m not sure if that’s normal. It cranks and turns over but won’t start. Also, if I drive on the freeway for any long period of time like an hr, the same thing happens if I turn off engine. So, something heat related is my guess but I just can’t figure it out. Any advice in what I should check is appreciated. Thanks! Ed
