Power surges when cold. Help?
In the mornings lately when my trucks cold it has power surges. Ill be driving and the truck will turn off then back on. If its at an idle it'll die when the issue occurs. But it starts right back up. I changed the CPA 2 months ago with an oreilly one. But also I purchased a spare ford one. Should I put the ford one in and see what happens? Also I just unplugged the EBPV plug a few days ago. Would this make the truck randomly "buck" or whatever you'd call this problem ?

I added oil. And it still does it. The steering column needs re built cause a heavy set guy owned the truck before me and he'd pull on the steering wheel to get into the truck. That being said maybe its an issue in the ignition wiring because the columns all wobbly. ?

Ok so it could've just been me. But after work last night the truck started surging again. I would turn the wipers all the way on and then all the way off. About 1 of every 15 times I did this the truck would surge. It even shut completely off once. When I first bought it a few months back on the way home on the freeway I had it set on cruise and I went to pass , flipped the left blinker on and it did the same thing. Guessable it's time to re build the column soon ?

I did check the brake lights. The one on the cab doesn't work. I never thought of it. The lights up there were full of water. But I have yet to replace the bulb. I still need to put in the ford cps
