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?
no service engine soon light. Do I need a scanning tool to read the codes? Replaced the CPS two years ago. When it went the last time truck wouldn't start at all.

Yes, you do need to code reader.. If you buy one, don't get a cheapy.. It should be for Ford Diesel. Someone else here on the forum can sugguest a good one to get. I have a DiabloSport Predator tunable programmer which has a built in scanner that seems to work good. My 9 pin under the valve cover connector for our glow plugs and injector wiring came loose and the scanner pick up on P1316 code... (the connector is a bad design and comes loose when the plastic locking tabs warp) Your problem still could be your CPS even though you just replaced it..If it threw a code, it will still be in memory..
AutoEnginuity!!!! best bang for your buck..you can check codes and clear them..you can run tests get live readings and soon you can do recalibrating for speedo and other things..best part is.. if you get it through ITP..( a sponsor of FTE)he has a forum dedicated for AutoEnginuity ..its like FTE ask questions and get answers..check it out for your self here
replaced the cps trucks running, no hiccuping. Now to seach the forums on carrier bearings and vibrations. Looking into purchasing a code reader too. Thanks everyone
