Trucks stalls

My 96 truck keeps stalling it will do it idle or at slight acceleration but never wot. It always starts right back up never spotters just shuts off. I'm thinking cps but I thought Cps works or don't

very well could be cps. It can be intermittent. I'd change it, ford or ih for a new one.

CPS can definitely be an intermittent problem. It was in my truck.

It's very possible, I had the same problem with my 96. Would fire right up and drive fine for a bit and randomly die. Other times i could'nt even make it out of the drive-way. Hooked up my Tuner, which doubles as a reader and it brought up the code. It was only about a $20 part and about 5 mins to change lol.
