1995 F250 7.3 diesel with 208k miles. She runs good, but she will turn off (engine shuts down) every once in a while and only once per trip.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

1. Morning, not cold or any rain. She started right up let her warm up about 5 minutes and went 5 blocks when she shut down. Coasted to curb and she started right away, and didn't do it again that day.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

2. Been driving her all day, about 5pm, I stopped and got back in drove about a 1/4 mile and once again she shut down, put her in neutral and started it right away and didn't have a problem that day again.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

3. Was driving up to for about 90 miles and then she shut down in the freeway, the cruise control was on, I put her in neutral and started with not further problem.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

4. I have recently discovered that if I keep my foot on the accelerator she will only give a brief hiccup and continue to run like a charm.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

I am guessing what it is the eng kill what-ever. I don't know about truck diesel engines. I am very familiar with Detroit</ST1:p 71 types and ALCO diesel.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

Anyone have a clue?<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

Thanks s/Bill<O:p</O:p

 

Cant help ya with your problem, but 1995 would be a 7.3 Powerstroke diesel. Might have better luck in this forum:
1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

 

Thanks I will change it to said forum.

 

Moved to the 1994 thru 1997 7.3 Power Stroke forum.

 

Mine did that plus it ran rough & would drop a bank of cylinders while driving.

I replaced the CPS ( cam position sensor) & that solved all of my problems & the truck ran better.

The CPS is on the passenger side front of the motor, & very easy to do.

Hope this helps.

 

Not that it is expensive or difficult, but you should at least check if the stealership is obligated to do it for free.

Recall Information - Ford

I had to have them do it because I needed it cleared off the database for importation purposes. I didn't really like having them touch my truck though. They felt obligated to suggest over $5k worth of work and I laughed in their faces.

It's not a bad idea to carry an extra as well.

 

Replace the CPS (cam position sensor) on the front of the engine at about the 10 o'clock position.
Five or te minute job. Cheap too. Less than $35 or $40.

10 mm socket and short extension. Flat screwdriver to pry the old one out.
