I have a problem. My 5.0 Gt would stall while driving. During the stall process the check engine light would come on. The car would somehow magically fire back up (it has automatic transmission). The car stalled last night and did the same as previously metioned, but it went dead again and would not crank back up. I tried to crank it this morning and it still didn't crank. I noticed that the previous owner ran the car without an air filter. Maybe that could be the problem. Please help me.

Do you mean it doesn't crank or cranks but doesn't start? If it's the later my guess it's the PIP sensor (stator) that has failed based on your description about stalling (dying) then starting again.
It could be the ignition control module, it should be located on the passenger side fender under your air cleaner tube. I have a 1995 cobra and it was haveing the same symptoms as yours was and thats what it turned out to be.
Thanks for your help guys. I cranked the car today and it started!!! I didn't do anything to it. I noticed that it will stall when I have the radio on. Weird huh?

I doubt the radio has anything to do with the stalling. I guaranty it will stall with the radio off and the frequency will increase until it (PIP) fails completely. The SN95's don't usually have a problem with the TFI module.

Agree. TFI failures are much more common on the Fox body 5.0 'cause it's mounted with the PIP sensor on the distributor and gets heat-soaked. When either the TFI or the PIP fails on a Fox, it's normal practice to replace both. On an SN95, PIP sensor failure is far more common than TFI so statistically, replacing the PIP is more likely to solve your problem.
