2000 Excursion - shuts off
This happened a couple times right after we got it - truck shuts off like ya turn off the ignition, no SES, no codes and it always restarts right away. So after 2nd time, I had wifey go to dealer for CPS recall. Several months and prolly 30k miles (yeah, the girl puts on the miles) later its doing it again...
No SES, no codes, fuel pressure is constant, in fact all other gauges (factory + 8 more
) read normal before and after events.
Since she drives 'over the mountain' every day, this problem could easily be disasterous - no brakes, no steering and cliffs!
What should I do next? Will Ford give me another CPS? I'm happy to spend the $15 to buy another one if that could be the issue. Seems like I've read where some people went thru more than one before getting one that works?? (I do have an active imagination though...)
In case you were wondering, her VO pump is currently out for upgrade/repair so most recently this is totally on diesel. The only mod to the factory fuel system is the addition of CV's to the stock fuel lines at the heads. Truck has been 40k miles now since V3 system install without a single other issue!

Thanks again Tom, but the Mrs. had clinicals on Fri and I actually only saw the Excursion for about 10 min before I had to leave on Sunday...
The leaves are very, very nice around home right now. I had a pretty drive all the way up the Appalachians from home back to Philly. The sunday afternoon 'leaf lookers' had the roads congested all the way to the other side of Asheville...
I too even snapped a couple dozen pics as I made my way over Chunk Gal mountain, etc. The 'loudest' colors were between Blairsville, Hayesville, Dillsboro and then in the higher elevations past Asheville near Mt Mitchell. Fall is nice!
