Engine Stalling
1997 F250hd 460
I have a mystery. Engine stalls while cruising and occasionally won't start when cold. When cruising it is as if a switch was thrown and truck coasts to a standstill. After about twenty minutes it will start again. After that it doesn't happen again until the next run to town. I have changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil and lastly the ignition module. It usually happens around the fifteen kilometer area. Since replacing the ignition module it still happens, but manages to recover after a couple seconds and the drive continues. Would this possibly be a sensor from another component sending a wrong signal just as the engines fully warms up?
