My truck is sick to the point of not being reliable enough to drive. Crank the engine and it starts and idles fine for a short while. Can be a few seconds or a couple of minutes and then....either:
A. Dies like you killed the key. Will then re-start and act like a cold start 'romp' but much worse. If I rev it up then go back to idle it is just fine, for a short while.
B. Idles fine for a while then gets the same violent 'romps' as above.
As long as the RPM's are up there are no problems.
CEL and codes:
P0470- EBP sensor circuit malfunction.
P1280- Integrated control panel circuit out of range low...
P0501- AIH....it's removed with no resistor.
P0603- Internal control module KAM malfunction.
DTC P1280 indicates injector control signal circuit out of range low was detected during KOEO Self Test or during continuous diagnostic monitoring.
Possible causes:
biased ICP sensor/PCM
open ICP sensor circuit
short to SIG RTN or PWR GND on ICP sensor circuit
open in VREF circuit
Look at your ICP sensor for the "oil in plug" . Unplug the ICP sensor and see if it will idle and run fine with it in "default". More than likely a bad sensor, but could be wiring.
The EBP and ICP (as well as other sensors) share a common +5V reference signal. If the EBP circuit is malfunctioning, it goes to logic that this could cause a bias on the ICP.
A faulty (or bias) ICP could cause your symptoms, albeit yours are extreme for an ICP sensor issue. Just food for thought. Check the wiring.

An EBP sensor fault regarding reference voltage would throw a P0472 or P0473 code. A P0470 could be caused by an open ground.
I have seen a bad ICP sensor cause an engine to falter akin to that of a gasser with bad plug wires.
The OP's statement "As long as the RPM's are up there are no problems" seems to indicate something other than wiring.
Next time it cuts off, I would pull the plug and check the level in the hpop reservoir. Might be the LPOP can not keep up flow at low rpm to keep it filled.
Clogged pump or screen in fuel tank will throw an ICP code... and give every symptom mentioned. I don't suppose you have a fuel pressure gauge lying around.
Joe, you have to hook up with someone with AE and get some data. I agree with Roland though, shooting(almost) blind, it sounds a lot like ICP. When mine went bad, it would idle funny then shut off like I turned the key off. It would restart and then drive fine. Yours sounds more extreme and may indicate ICP and something else with it.
Short of that, I'd be checking and double checking the ICP and IPR wiring. 1280 is the code you get when you unplug the ICP sensor and run it. Seems like I remember someone having that code with chaffed IPR wires too, but can't be sure on that part. Still worth checking though.
Before you throw money at a new sensor, try it for a few days with the sensor unplugged. Power will be a little low and you'll still have the CEL, but if the symptoms remain, it's not the sensor.
