Stalling

I have a 03 7.3 powerstroke and sometimes randomly my truck will stall and I have to start it again not sure why like the other day I pulled into the car wash going like 10MPH and it died but it seems like it rarely happens but I’m trying to figure out if this is a problem. Thank y’all

I had that problem and never did figure it out. Then...one day...it stalled and wouldn't start back up. I still haven't figure it out.

LOL!! Don't be giving hope that you have a solution with the first half of your statement only to take it away with the second half.

To the OP, have you checked your CPS?

The IPR valve connector pigtail is known to deteriorate and short itself out. Also the tin nut on then IPR solenoid can get loose or even fall of allowing the solenoid to slide around and not do it's job. Last of the easy stuff would be to inspect the underside of the wiring loom at the 42 pin connector where it passes over hje drivers valve cover. Pretty common to have them rub the valve cover eventually working through the insulation and causing issues.

Subscribing. Seems to be a pattern failure coming up on these old rigs and if someone manages to figure out the weak spot, we all want to know.
