7.3L shuts off intermittently

[adam2187]

I have a 1997 ford f350 4x4 with a 7.3l, every now and then it will just shut off, it seems to do it when you open the door, play with the blinker arm,press the brakes,and alot when you are moving the plow. so it seem that it has something to do with the voltage drop. I am stuck i have tried everything!!! so I am open to any suggestions, test or fixes that you may know of.

CPS? Seems as though anything to do with stalling is related to the sensor, it wuld go to reason that voltage drop might effect it also.

Less than $60 on ebay, 10 minute changeout. Just a thought.

This is exactly the reason I joined this forum (thanks!). I have an '03 7.3L that has been doing the same thing. Engine cuts out when I press the windshield washer button (voltage drop). I've read all the posts about the CPS, but didn't really know if the voltage drop would be associated with the CPS? (I guess it makes sense that it would though, huh?). Thanks again...
