Welcome to the Forum!

Have you checked your oil level in the pan and in the HPOP resevoir?

[Dselinside]

i really aint comprehending that much could u explain a lil bit better . Thanks

[pipelayerjdh]

Sometimes when the oil gets low it will kill the engine and after it drains back to the pan will restart. Checking the HPOP oil is a little harder. You have to pull a plug on the resevoir to check it. I havn't done it personally, but I'll try to get some instructions for you. It could also be a bad cam sensor.

your cam positioning seneor is going bad it is located on the front of the motor behind the counter balancer it cost about $200

Do a search in the Forum on cam sensors, It will give you a better Idea on what it is, where it is and what to do about it. Good luck

when i was doing a search a couple of people said they replaced it and there truck still cut off and it was there IBM module or fuel injection madule whatever its called, how do i no the difference in which one to change ?

[straycat]

Change the CPS out and keep the old one until you know if that was the problem, if it is then throw it out, if it isn't put it in the glove box, It's one of those things you should always carry with you anyways, cause sooner or later your going to need it.

same thing happend on my f150 it would shut down when ever i hit a bump and then start back up untill one time it didnt and it ended up being the cam sensor
