had that prob once on my 97 7.3 and there was a sensor that was getting hot, cant recall what sensor i have it in my maint book at our shop. But it did the samething yours is doing. But who knows what it might be though.

Have you tried reading any codes? Check the oil level also.

Do you know someone who has AE or a mt2500 diag setup? Watching the data stream will tell you what it wrong. If you don't drive the truck, and just let it idle, does it start screwing up? If not, sounds like a possible electrical connector.

idels no prob but i will check it for a longer period of time thanks for ur input

Mine did this too. The IPR sensor kept going out on it due to bad wiring harness.

This will involve some work, no easy "just replace this". I'm thinking valve cover harness, ipr sensor, or harness to start with... check those. Check for loose wiring, oil in wiring, ect.

I still want to see the data stream. I don't feel it's the cps. Could be, but I'm just not feeling it.
