If the tach dropped suddenly like you shut off the engine sounds like a CPS or could just be a short in the connector or harness leg. If it started 2 -3 months ago you are very lucky check the wires quik if they look Ok get a CPS before you are walking.

Also check the chip connections. Mine got dirty some how and acted like water in fuel deal. Took a while to figure out.

i had this happen to me too when my CPS was going out. going along accelerating moderately, BANG the whole truck jerked, and then once it sunk in that the truck quit, it was back in again. i saw two huge clouds of blue smoke too. it did this a few times, sometimes would throw a CEL and sometimes would not
