Dies when Decelerating.

Hi, I have owned my 1995 F250 for about a year now and it has driven pretty good until this last week. I drove up to Yosemite from San Diego with my Fiance to get married and the engine would die occasionally when I let off the accelerator. This usually happened going uphill, but it also died twice coming down a grade. It's scary going down a winding 8% grade with no power steering or brakes! The check engine light never came on, just the battery light. When I pull over to the side of the road the engine would not start right away, needed about a minute and then it restarts. Any ideas on this? Could it be the CPS?
Any help would be appreciated. - Peter

Thats a likley culprit. I would start their and see what happens. If nothing else you'll have a spare if it don't fix the problem. Does it run good otherwise?
