Where'd you get the CPS from? The regular parts stores ones have a habbit of lasting about a day.

Same thing happened to mine. Turned out to be the IPR.

Does it cut out while you're rolling? If so, did you happen to notice if the tach dropped to zero immediately, or did it keep reading the engine RPM as it was coasting down?

Are you able to rev it up when you get it to run, or does it die when you try to rev it?

I was going to say the screen, which is why i asked about it revving up. Of course, the CPS is still on the table right?

FPS cleaning = Free.

CPS = Cost money.

Always start with free stuff and rule it out.

KISS first, spend money later.

Thats my method anyways.

Sounds like you tried some generic OBD-II scanner. Our trucks aren't standard OBD-II, and generic scanners will do that. You need a Snap-On MT2500 or Modus, AutoEnginuity software, or an AeroForce Scangauge.
