just died
hi all, when i went to leave the clinic today my truck died after i drove it about 2 feet. It started up fine, but when I pushed the accelerator it died.
So I put it in park, & it fired right up, I then left w/out the slighest problem.
Since then I have put apprx 430 miles on it after i left the clinic this morning.
What would cause this, cam position sensor? Lemme know, thanks.

I have a 2000 f350 and had a similar problem. Truck would die and then restart. However the problem got progressively worse and more often. It was the cam positioning sensor. It is located in the front of the block and really not too bad to change. I think it ran me about $120.00. Good kuck.

Had the same problem with my 96 PSD. It was the cam sensor. Had the dealer replace it cost 360.00 After reading on this site will change my own next time for around 125.00 Although I hope there isn't a next time. Good Luck

Replace it! I got towed twice in 2 days because of the sensor.

JMHCON. Troubles
[QUOTE=jmhconstruction]thanks alot I will change that dang thing[/QUOTE
Hi JMH/ Think I talked to you on phone bout wk. ago. It sounds like the CPS to me, other people on this site could tell you how to change it yourself and save big bucks. If your not comfortable with that, have the garage do it, this is one problem that won't go away.
