i need new ideas
so my 1997 with 144K auto will stall out on me.
its been going on for some time.
so far on this site the advice ive received was to...
1. change the CPS (complete)
2. unplug the fuel bowl heater (complete)
3. ignition swithched out (complete)
**the issue still exist**
Well maintained truck drives down the road and just shuts off.
All but one time she will start rite back up.
Since this issue has started it kinda has a hard time starting.
It will start but it has to crank over a bit more than normal.
so my question what else would cause it to just shut off?
ty
what are your thoughts on IPR or IPC?

My 96 C&C truck started to randomly die. Sometimes it would start right back up, and other times it would have to set for 5-10 minutes. But it would have the code for pressure above or below required amount. Turns out the tin nut and spacer on the IPR were missing. Replaced IPR with a known good one and all returned to normal for6 months, then the problem comes back. This time it was replaced with a new one, and all has been good for a year or so.

Thanks for the input.
So why does it only happen from time to time and not die every block down the road? Again if its the IPR?
Also can it be changed without removing the fuel bowl?

I have no idea on the randomness. When I changed mine, I removed the fuel regulator . It was doable, but not a piece of cake. But my hands are rather large. You might want to see if there is a code, if you have a code reader.

Yes....but im not sure at ALL times.
But yes.
Id be on a HWY doing 65mph and cross a overpass and it cut out but it wouldnt shut off....wierd
At low speeds it shut off and at high speeds it would just cut out.

Bought the truck used....he said there was a generic chip that he installed...
Other than that its 100% stock.
How would i know if there is something really installed?
If so i want it gone.
How would i rid it?

Classic CPS symptoms, at least on my truck it was. Was the CPS you replaced from Ford or International only? Or maybe the chip, if installed.
