Engine dies on deceleration

I was driving home today and when I got off the throttle the engine died instantly, no coughly ans chugging. It did it everytime that I rapidly released pressure on the the throttle. If I slowly released pressure on the throttle it would idle as normal.

It does not seem like a fuel pickup problem due to the rapid nature of the engine stopping, although it could be related. I say that because my fuel pickup lines need to be replaced and I know how it reacts when the fuel is low.

Could it be sensor related or IP? I am not sure. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Thad

Sounds like a governor problem. I have seen guys on here that ran a strong dose of additive through the pump and it took care of it.

Thanks, I might give that a try. I am just curious as to how long before it clears up if I do the above mentioned procedure....?

Thanks!

The impression I got was that it was instant. Didn't take anytime at all.

Thanks, I mixed two different types of Diesel Kleen with about 12 gallons and I cleared up in about 20 miles. I thought I was just going to have to put a bullet in her this time....lol

Thanks!!!!
