The 1998 5.0L is a Windsor engine and is not equipped with Variable Valve Timing.. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) - and - Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT) are present on that engine.. IF failures are present - drive cycle will not complete.

Considering the age and suspected mileage on the vehicle - it’s just time to spend a few bucks as it has more than likely served it’s owners well during the past 21 / possibly even 22 years (depending on production date) of it’s existence.. With that - I recommend professional *hands-on* assistance. Good luck!
