Have a '96 E-150 van (V8/5.8). Little over a week ago it shutdown in the middle of the road. It'll start, it'll idle like normal, and you can rev the engine if you take the gas peddle down very, very slowly. If you tried to drive it normally, the minute you step on the gas the engine just shuts off. Example: You're at a stop sign, start to pull out, engines dies, but cranks right back up and idles.
The van has a history of intermittent miss that comes and goes on Cylinder Number 2. The miss isn't constant, some days it does, some days it don't; more common if you're going up hill. The day it shut down, it missed going up a hill, but once we crested the hill it started running just fine. Some days it throws a code on the cylinder, some days it doesn't. At the moment, the only engine code thrown is one for a error on the crankshaft position sensor.
Where do I start looking for the problem that's shutting it down when you punch the gas?
