This has happened twice now, both times immediately after towing. I'll start it, begin to accelerate, and it will just putter out. It'll start right back up but it'll putter out again. After 20-30 minutes it'll start (and run). I have an edge programmer and it doesn't turn on when this happens. I get a turbo warning on it that the psi is at like 43/46 even though I'm essentially at idle so it seems to be getting a faulty error thinking the turbo is under too much load. Any thoughts as to what the problem might be would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

Start by load testing batteries and checking connections including grounds. Then check alternator output to be sure its good.

 

Anything to monitor live data such as icpv and ipr% when it dies?

 

try running w/ the EBP unplugged also.

 

Dont have a clue if this related but a buddie (God rest his soul) had an F250 and had a camshaft sensor issue. It would just cut off.

 

Another friend's experience-when his AC seized after towing, it would not restart at all. I wonder if one can be in the process of seizing but not completely and be adding more and more load on your engine until it fully seizes and then wont start at all....just a thought

 

Doubt it has anything to do with the A/C compressor....need to get some gauges to monitor vitals as it dies and wont re start.....

HPO issue?
