sounds like it needs a cps.
it was recalled by ford, see if you can get it replaced free

CPS does not tend to turn itself back on.

did it like hick up shut off then back on all at once sending a hard shutter to the drive train ?? i guess like a surge !!??

I still dont know.

What happens on the dash when it happens?

[dalton1]

yes exactly what happened to me, a new cps will solve it

just the tach goes to .0. then at operating rpm's after turning back on...... its not like u turned the ign. switch off then on. and where is the cps located on the motor and is it hard to change not familiar with the 7.3
