Angry Help! Truck broke

Driving home after about 2 min. of drive time truck hiccups and dies... Classic CPS issue. Turn off, turn on, runs great for driving for about 1/4 mile dies. Same thing. Cranks with NO FIRING for 20 revolutions i let off. Try to start 3 more times nothing. Try again fires running on maybe 2 cylinders romping like crazy and smoking white like a steam engine. I shut it off. Wait 5 min. fires fine runs fine drive 1 mile and hiccup and die. Fire, drive, die 2 more times. Stop wait 2 min. turns over 15ish times fires runs on 2 cyl. dies. Park for 10 min. fires first try runs great make it to GF's house down her drive way make three point u-turn to park. Park rev it 10 times running great not smoking. after 11th rev. to about 2000rpm hiccup die no restart. Then i gave up.


First time it died no SES light. Second time SES light. P0344 (cps code) also have a 1211 (ICP code) and 0238 (turbo boost code.)

Am i looking to far into this?? is this just a cps issue??? I havent herd of CPS's causing it to run on 2 cyld.


As always thanks guys and gals!!!

Replace the CPS. $25 and 15 min of your time.

Sounds like you are pushing a bad CPS to try and run and it just isn't doing it.

The free ten minute stuff is the way to go. I have 2 extra CPSs. They're not free but might as well be by now. If not, you have a harness problem.

Hello Nolan.
Sorry to hear of a new saga with your truck.
But it sounds like classic CPS to me.

That CPS wasn't giving up without a fight. All the ones for me seems to just quit. Glad you found it.

Always nice when it's the easy fix.
I got lucky and mine went out as I pulled into my in=laws driveway Christmas eve about 2 yrs ago. Luckily I had a spare already in the glove box and my father-in-law loves working on engines. Took all I had to keep him out of the way! hehe
