6 .0 cuts off while driving,

Hey guys I'm usually over in the 7.3 forum but I have a buddy with a 6.0 that's having some problems. The truck will just Flatout die while he's driving and then he will get a crank no start. Sometimes if he waits 30 minutes to an hour it will start right back up. I know on the 7.3 this would point to CPS but wasn't sure if the 6.0 had the same problems with their CPS. He is able to monitor some parameters like ICP Etc. He just changed his IPR valve and all of his values seem to be up to par when the truck is running. Thinking it is electrical, Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help

We need a bit of information: Year model, for a start, and any codes the truck might have, which may or may not set a check engine light.

Since P2623 is a circuit code and you've replace the valve/solenoid it's possible that it may be in the connector or the harness itself. It could also be low ICP from a leaking failing STC fitting at the HPOP if it hasn't ever been changed out. If it starts after the truck has cooled I'd monitor the ICP running to see what it is.

Okay thank you , the ICP seems to be fine and I think that he replaced the pigtail as well. Where would you recommend looking if the ICP is fine when it's running? Does the STC connector just prevent backflow? Any way to test that besides watching ICP?

Does anyone think that this could be a CPS issue? I know these are very common symptoms for a CPS on a 7.3 but wasn't sure about a 6.0

You need to get a scan tool to monitor inputs from sensors.
ICP values are critical to injectors firing.

We are able to monitor ICP and seems to be within parameters

P2623 is for an open/grounded IPR circuit. Could be a loose connection to the IPR or, as npccpartsman posted, shorted out IPR wiring. This can cause a no-start (typically it will act up when hot)

Pull back insulation on the connector wiring to inspect. The short can even be further up in the wiring harness. Look it over for chafing. A common place is at the upper left valve cover or valve cover stud near the FICM or the intake manifold bolts where the harness routes under the air intake hose

It is very unlikely that it is a cam sensor (called a CMP on the 6.0L).

Might be worth monitoring the v-reference voltage (5 volt reference circuit) as well.

Thank you, will definitely look over these spots
