I am having what seems to be a loss of fuel. When I get to a steady speed the truck seems to stall for a second and it keeps this up. It doesn't seem to do it when the cruise if on. It accelerates fine, just happens when I reach a steady speed. Is this a symptom of CPS trouble, or something else? It doesn't seem to be the injectors since that should happen whether or not the cruise is engaged. I drained the fuel filter, and have been using Diesel Kleen. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ford=$185, internet+$90, Ebay= $80 or less. When mine went out I had to pay Ford. My spare came from an internet site.

My CPS was changed at 85,000 after I had some other rough running issues and it turned out not to be the cause but still glad to change it on my turf and my schedule, etc. I got it at Int'l truck for $84.50 and bought 2 while I was there as one is spare now. Mine is a 2000 and with one bolt.....maybe they changed to 2 sometime in 2000 model year??

When my 2001 F250 was young (about 12K old), I was having troubles where it would die out for no apparent reason, and I was able to start it right back up. Did it a few times before I took it to the stealership. They did not find anything wrong with it. Do you know how scary it was to loose your ability to steer and stop a heavy truck while trying to get the truck to the side of the freeway. Boy was I glad it started back up. These troubles lasted about a year before it died at the house and refused to start. I ended up getting it towed to the stealership. They replaced the CPS and all has been well since. Haven’t gotten a spare yet, still on my to-do list. Wife wants me to slow down on spending on my truck and start fixing up the house. She gives me that evil eye every time I tell her what I’m getting.
