Weird - Engine just stalled...
Hello everyone,
This might have be posted, but I just can't find it.
This is weird. I was driving my 2006 Ford F250 - 5.4L (95,000 miles) today and my engine just shutdown. Everything was warmed up and I had no warning lights on my dash turn on. It was like I had turn off the truck, but I didn't. I stop the truck and turn the key back and started the truck. Everything started to work fine. This also happen to me back December. Does anyone have an idea what could have cause this to happen.
Thanks,

Not that this helps, but I have the same exact problem with my 2006 F-250 with 38000 miles. It happened maybe 3 or 4 times over the last 6 months or so. I have no idea what the problem could be.

I have an 02 f250 with a 5.4 92k miles and it has shut off probably about 4 or 5 times in the past 2 years. only when i'm going slow and have the wheel turned all the way.

my 04 had done it about five times but only in 4wd and im spinning tires to get out, if you try to rock it but babing it too much it will drop rpm between forward and reverse and just die. no lights then it starts right up and its fine. i guess shes telling my to stop being a punk and lay into her!

yes i know that i didnt say doing 30mph i would shift. in reverse give it gas hit the brakes then go to drive or first which every the need calls for and if you do it enough the rpms drop way to much and she dies, no codes or nothing and starts right up. im saying mine does the same thing but under different situations. it could be the iac but i really dont think its that. battery cable problem maybe?

the problem was in the harness not grounding to the battery and when id hit a bump it would turn off.it was under warranty so it cost me nothing . A PITA though i heard ,seeing that the neg ground has some many leads to it . good luck

I had a old truck that used to do this. When it shut off EVERYTHING shut off. Lights, engine, radio......I mean everything. Scared me 1/2 to death one dark rain filled evening going down a winding mountain road.
It would only do it occasionally, usually after hitting a bump (but not always). After living with it for almost a year and replacing as many things as I could think of replacing, I found a clue. When this happened the battery got REAL hot. After giving this some thought, I deduced the battery was suffering from an intermittent internal short.
I got a new battery and never had the problem again.
