This is actually about my parents truck,
They have a 1996 F-350 DRW with the E40. The engine has a bad habit of (without any warning) of shutting down if the gas pedal is released. We were coming out of pulling a hill and started to descend it on the other side (at 55mph) and my dad took his foot off it and it just died. We may also be idling at a stop light or something and ---. The engine dosen't sound like its getting starved or anything, no chage in tone or rpm, just suddenly nothing.

 

that sounds like the pedal assymbly is going bad. its just a reostat type, ill get the resistiance values tommorow to trouble shoot it.

 

If it starts right back up again it might be the cps is going bad, mine was doing the same thing.

 

Thanks, keep any and all thoughts coming!
