No; that is not a true statement. F-250's are very powerful trucks. You are probably thinking of one paticular 1976 F-250.

Why does my 1999 ford windstar van starts fine but cuts right off?

Sounds like it has to do with the micro-chip in the key. Starts for about 3 seconds and dies. In 1999 Ford installed a micro-chip in the ignition key for Anti-theft purposes. If the chip isn't there, or is malfunctioning, the vehicle starts briefly and dies.

Why does a 1997 ford crown vic 4.6L starts OK and runs for 3 seconds and then it dies but starts right back up and dies again?

There are many possibilities, but from the information given, it sounds like it could be the passive anti-theft system(PATS) might be preventing the vehicle from running. PATS on that year works by shutting down the fuel pump after about 3 seconds if it doesn't receive the correct info from the key. Does the theft light blink rapidly when you start the car? If so, you have something wrong in the PATS system. Either the transponder inside the handle of the key is bad, the transciever in the steering column is bad, or the PATS module is bad.
