why 7.3 v8 powewrstroke shuts off

issues with 350 7.3 power stroke 2002 model, sometimes would just shut down whilst driving if I don't have my feet on the accelerator, mostly down hill, kind of dangerous.

truck runs great good power , great on fuel i love this truck but very worried please help me

Now the headlights won't go off after turning it off at the switch, abs light comes on, bought it 3 months ago through 3 party and was shipped down the island to me and inherit all those problems.

bought a v10 5yrs ago in TX and she runs like hell make me happy with great power but a real fuel sucker thats why i decided to try the dually 350 desiel bbut am at shame now please help cause cost me twice the cost of truck to clear customs am a laughing stork of my friends

My 2003 was doing the same. AE diagnosed as accelerator pedal. Other possibility is the cps.

Have you tried changing the CPS? These often cause the truck to shut off for no reason at random, does the truck start right back up after it shuts off? The ABS light could be as simple as a disconnected ABS sensor at one of the wheels or could be due to someone installing the non-abs hub bearing assembly, and as such having no sensor to plug into the the truck, or a bad ABS sensor in one of the hub bearings assemblies, which will again cause your ABS light.

Mine would die too. It was the CPS. And at times No throttle responce. That was the TPS also. Another problem i had. After driving about 10 miles after everytime i go some where the truck died, engine & electrical, it was a bad glow plug solenoid. replaced that and it Never died again.

Another free thing to check is the tin nut on the back of the IPR. If loose or AWOL it will run wacky. Do not over tighten it or it will strip out, gudentite will do.
