99 7.3 died ?

For the second time in a month my 99 F-250 4x4 SD powerstroke died. After an hour and a half drive to work i pull in to park and let her idle, but after about 2 or 3 minutes it dies, just shuts off, but will start back up. Happened today and about 3 weeks ago. Any ideas, fuel pump? Truck has 210,687 miles.

Most likely cause is the CPS acting like that.

Each one is different. Some will act like yours, others will stutter stutter stutter, others will simply fail.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Mine went out and died on the spot. Others have told me their's came and went for over two months. I'd replace it and keep the old one in the dash until I confirmed that was the problem.
