quits running
hi everyone
need some help with a 2001 psd f350. I did some searching on this forum but haven't quite come up with solution. When driving the engine quits running for like a second or two then starts running again. I haven't noticed if all the dash lights go off like it an electrical issue because it happens so fast and it doesn't do this all the time.
last time it happened chugged out black smoke than ran fine the rest of the way home.
any clues what is going on?

My guess would be the CPS (camshaft postion sensor)...at least that is what I would check first. Just swap out CPS..here is a link to the swap:
http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/cps.html
You can get the CPS from Ebay (about $50), IH dealer (about $100), or Ford (about $200).
Let us know how it goes...I carry a spare CPS and the tools I need to swap it out on the road.
You might also pull codes to see if a code was set.
