Quit Running When I Turned a Corner
'99 F250 SD V-10 gas.
It died when I turned a corner.
Had difficult restarting and then made it a few feet with lots of effort keeping it running. It never did show any codes, if it was supposed to, on my O.D. light.
I blocked a driveway and went out later and backed it out of the way.
I called the dealer to make an appointment and called AAA.
The tow truck driver thought it might be the Throttle Positioning Sensor.
It cost me the diagnosis fee of $105.88 and turned out to be one of the hoses that fell off the air cleaner. It wouldn't stay connected, so they used a hose clamp.

LOL well at least they found the issue, but that is one expensive hose clamp. Amazing how something like that can throw a whole wrench in the works isnt it..
I always keep a bunch of different size ones in my tool box in case I have a hose that is leaking or a clamp comes off. You may want to consider keeping a selection of different sized ones in your tool box in case you need something like that in the future.. always nice to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.
