Engine Shut Down
First Off:
I have a 2000 Ford F250 7.3 Liter Diesel
I was driving down the road yesterday and the engine just shut down. I pulled off the side of the road, restarted and was able to drive about a block and the engine shut down again. It will idle forever but as soon as I start driving i get a block and then the same thing. Any suggestion or anybody else have this problem? I was stuck on the side of the road about 2 in the morning just and road side assistance was totally worthless

Engine Shut Down
Sounds like your Cam Position Sensor. If it's under warranty, get it to the dealer and they'll fix it. Do a search on here for CMP or CPS and you'll find more than enough information on how to fix it. Once you get it fixed, not a bad idea to buy another one and keep it handy. Also, you can buy the part from International for much cheaper than your dealer. I would recommend reading about fixing it on this site and doing it yourself if you're out of warranty.
