it could be the cam sensor, was it done with the recall? any strange noises that have come out of the blue? maybe the idm is going out? just some ideas to think about.

Welcome to the site.

Check for codes. If the CPS is going out, it will set a code. Post the codes on here and we'll help you get them figured out. After you fix all of the problems that set a code, make sure you clear the codes.

All due respect Moose.

When my "95 started to stall at traffic lights & would drop a bank out just going down the road & buck & sputter, there were no codes set. I scanned it with a OBS 2, no codes. The CEL never came on.

I took a chance & replaced the CPS. This cured my problem, & the truck ran better.

Go to the ford dealer and get a cps. Its good to have a spare anyway. Cheap and easy to replace. They don't always set check engine lights.

IDM stands for injector driver module. It sends electricity to the injectors to open and close the solenoids

There is the original black one, the light gray one, and the new dark gray/purple one. There is also a blue one that some people use that was designed for the DT466.
