Another dying while driving thread

Friend of mine has a 2005 F250 4x4 6.0 . 220.000mls
couple month back the truck all the sudden started running rough. next day running fine, then running rough. A&E Software check came up with several injectors misfiring and Ficm issue.
We replaced the Ficm and truck ran fine for about 1 month.
No while driving it happened several times that the truck shut off. no reason found, no issues. first couple times it cranked right up after a little time, last time they towed it home. Cranked up the next day fine.
A&E shows no codes, HPOP has about 800psi pressure while starting.
Any suggestions of what to look for? KOEO and KOER test reveled no problems either.


thanks for any advice.

First, make sure the FICM connectors are fully clicked into the replaced FICM.

It's good preventative maintenance to do so every 100k miles, or after you've had a FICM issue.
