Aloha from the 50th state. have a 96 f250 turbo diesel that won't start. I have been experiencing a sudden shut down while driving or at a stop. truck just bucks like it had a fuel starvation then runs again. this has been going on for the last several weeks maybe once or twice aweek then suddenly returning home one night parked the truck with no idication of anything wrong only to find that next mourning truck will not start. have replaced fuel filter with no results. could use some help on where to start looking to get truck running again. truck has 180,000 miles bought second hand 1 1/2 yr ago.

...MOVED...

 

Does the tach move while cranking?

Could be CPS, Cam Position Sensor. Search this site for CPS, there is a wealth of info.

 

My first thought as well - CPS issue.

 

Had similar problem last year turned out to be weak fuel pump my 97 had about the same mileage as yoursl Good luck Jeep 1947
