when you said that it "keeps going like it wants to turnover, but nothing happens".... do you mean it turns over (cranks) like it wants to start (or catch), but wont?
when phrased as you have, that suggests that the motor does nothing when the key is in the crank position. just clarifying to try to help.
i like the neutral safety switch idea that stang racer suggested.
i know on foxes ,the ignition switches sucked and were a recall item. i dont know if SN 95's have the same problem. i might look there for the cuttin out problem. however, you would have the best luck with pulling over after it cuts out and pulling out a DMM and testing a few things. does not sound like you are real hands on though...?
as far as i know, the NSS is only energized when cranking - so i would think that is unrelated to the cuttin out, unless the no start condition is a result of something else (depending upon clarification of the first question i had).
FWIW, crank sensors are for cars with coil packs (not distributors, like your 5.0 has)...just so you know for future reference. dont worry, that is not a big blunder. we have all heard much worse in advice FROM POSTERS replying to threads. :-)
good luck to ya
