maybe overheating? i doubt it though, but when my old 5.0 got hot sometimes it would refuse to start-up and had a hard time at stop lights

ignition controll mod maybe, my acted like that, but will yours start up again if the engine is warm? if not then that might be a good place to start....what else does it do?

thats all i noticed...seemed like when ur running on really really low gas and at every stop light it wants to die on you so u have to give it a little gas to get it going again?

could be that your fuel pump might be going out since you say your running it low on gas
