drivus interruptus
The other day I started her up and drove two minutes to the gas station, when I pulled in, she stalled and I had a hard time starting again. Then, yesterday, I'm doing a lane change in heavy traffic and again, a stall.
I probably would have gotten killed, but in my truck I felt like a rhino in the middle of a rat pack, some of those cars were so small I couldn't even see them. It seems to be happening as soon as I let up on the pedal. I'm thinking a stuck something or other, but what and how do I fix it? I seem to remember someone suggesting running atf through, how much and do I just add it to a full tank.
this thing called work keeps me from doing what I really want

x2 on the filter and lift pump. If you rev the engine and just let it drop to idle does it stay running or does it die instead of idling. That would be a sign of IP problems. You can run some ATF through it but it would be better to use powerservice diesel kleen or something of that sort. It wouldn't hurt to pull the fuel filter and fill it with diesel kleen and run that through the IP

Change the fuel filter, fill the new one with Diesel Kleen the dump the rest on the tank you are running on.
Start it and let it run for 15 - 20 seconds, then shut the engine off and let it work in the IP for 15 minutes or so.
Then fire it back up and drive some.
Next tank, run a double dose of Diesel Kleen in that tank of fuel.
By the time you are through that tank your problem should be gone.
I will not say that fixes all injection problems, but it sure does fix a lot of them.
Give the cost it is always a good first choice fix attempt.
