Engine randomly cuts out

The engine in my truck sometimes cuts out seems to be at idle. takes a lot of cranking toget her going. might be related but the eletric fuel pump seems to run everytime i turn the key on and if i sit with key off and the engine not going i hear the pump come on again. no external leaks can be seen.

Thanks for any help there not alot of knowlodge of these trucks is hard to find here in new zealand

More than likely its your Cps sensor.......!!! Might as well change it if it hasnt been changed in a while. They are known to go bad.

You should have it scanned for fault codes.

Only use OEM for this and other electronic sensors on this motor. It really doesn't work well with aftermarket
