I own a 2003 F150 2WD 4.6 LTR V-8 XLT. Every time I start the engine, it runs for about 30-45 seconds then shuts itself off with a puff of air from the K&N air filter assy after it shuts down. I've changed out the Air Mass Sensor assy, still the same problem. Will you help me please?

Thank you for your response. Did you replace the airfilter? ANd also try to clean the throttle body and then try to start the engine again and if did not shut down have it idle for at least 10 minutes.

Yes I also changed the air filter. Send me a picture of the throttle body you're talking about.
