Yes, an overheating engine can cause the distributor to cut off, as excessive heat can damage electrical components and disrupt the ignition system. When the engine overheats, it may lead to a failure in the ignition timing or even cause the distributor to seize, resulting in a loss of spark. Additionally, overheating can lead to broader engine failures that affect performance and operation. Regular maintenance and monitoring of engine temperature can help prevent such issues.

Where is the coil on 1988 ford 150 And what would cause it to start and run and after a while cut off?
Find your distributor cap. (spark plug wires attach to it.) Follow the one in the center of the cap back. If you have the 302 (5.0) it's on top of the valve cover on the passenger side of the engine. As for stalling, how long is it running for? Is the engine overheating or even getting up to temp?

Just cut the wires and install your new distribtor.. I totally wiped out all the computer stuff in my car.. cut all wires.. and used old school distributor.. it was very simple
Why do your car overheat when you cut the heat off?
There is something wrong with your radiator that it is not cooling your engine coolant. The heater has a little rad in it that sends heat to the cabin and thereby cooling the engine coolant also. If you stop the heat then your engine returns to overheating. Get this fixed or engine replacement will be in your future.
How do you know your truck engine was sabotaged?
Main engine belt cut. Distributor or computer smashed. Shorting wire on the battery. Gritty stuff in the engine oil. Diesel or sugar or sand in the gasoline tank. Spark plug wires switched around or cut. Most engine sabotage is very obvious. Long ago, I knew a cop who took a few liberties with the rules. If he heard that someone was planning a robbery or other crime, he would open their hood and steal the distributor cap. He told me he had dozens of them in his garage.
