I was driving my truck and as I slowed down for a red light It just went dead It's the first Time It has done that Its been raining all day and I was thinking It might have just got some of my wires wet but It's an 2003 Ford sport trac and I heard that the newer models don't do that and I also heard that It could be the timing chain could someone please tell me what could be going on with my truck

Did you hit a bump in the road just before the truck died? There is a fuel cut off switch in the rear. It is designed to cut the fuel pump off in the event of a collision, but sometimes just hitting a bump will set it off. There should be a reset switch in the rear of the truck. Try hitting that, and see if the truck will start again.

It had better not be a timing chain (I have 200,000 on mine and it runs fine). This is a newer vehicle than I usually see, but check for water inside the distributer cap - it only takes a little bit)
If you have a timing BELT and 50,000+ miles that could be the problem - in which case its best to get a mechanic

Hard to say. but I can say that if it started back up it isn't the timing chain/belt. Probably getting time for a tune up or something got wet

Bugs, i hate bugs, dead bugs specifically, for some reason I'm way more frightened of a dead bug than a live one that could crawl toward and bite me, but oh well, just an irrational fear i picked up from my mom.

I don't think it's timing , probably the fuel filter has cloged , or if you're the UNlucky type the fuel pump (inside the fuel tank).

Are you still at the stop light?
Or is it going to be Found On Road Dead.
We need more info.
Have you tried to start it?
What is it doing now?

A belt. Maybe timing belt, fan belt, it's probably a belt.
