I was told from a mechanic that the header where my spark plugs go is wrapped do to the manufacturer and is causing the spark plugs to misfire. The truck has died at a stop, is causing the truck to run horrible. I am sorry if I am not explaining it all properly. My dad bought this truck brand new in 2013 and he passed away in 2015 and I paid of the car so I could have the memory. So I have had it and been in the truck pretty much off the lot. its has only 95 thousand miles and has had this issue always, but I was always told problems with spark plugs and coils until now. please help

WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY DURING A PARKING LOT MANEUVER TYPE CONDITION... MY TRUCK'S ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LIKE A SECOND OR TWO AT A TIME. BUT IT HAPPENS RAPIDLY. LLKE 4 TO 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC STEERING NOT OPERATING WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT WILL BOUNCE THE STEERING SPORADICALLY WHEN IT CUTS ON/OFF AND KIND OF SCARE YOU. AT THE SAME TIME THE SAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK RAPIDLY. EVEN AS A VETERAN DRIVER, IT ALL HAPPENS SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT REGAIN CONTROL EASILY. WHEN I STOP, TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTART IT, IT'S BEEN OK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES. BUT IT CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM SHUTTING ON/OFF REALLY FAST.
