My 2000 F-150 fails to start & stalls when starting sometimes?

It will be fine for a while then it does it again.
Service engine light does not come on.

If I start it & give it gas it will run if I keep my foot on the gas.
After a while it will be fine & idle ok.

I have noticed that this happens when the tank is low on gas.
This could just be a coincidence also.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Steve

Hello Steve,
I have a 99 ford ranger that is doing the same thing. I travel 40 miles
to work one way and in the mornings it starts great but in the afternoos
it won't stay running unless I use brake and gas to keep it running.This
doesn't happen everyday but often. I have a full tank in mine and it
seems to still do it. I try not to touch the gas petal at all when I
start it and to me it seems to help.I have changed the air control valve
once and it is fairly new so I don't think that was it. It seems like
after the motor warms up some it stays running so I'm thinking its a
choke shut off problem,which might be why my miles to gallon has been
low. I hope we can find out why. HEY FORD REPS ARE YOU LISTENING AND
READING?
