So I have a 2000 F250SD FX4. The 7.3L has this weird issue where it suddenly dies but can be restarted almost immediately.
Now before anyone shoots me for asking questions that have been answered a hundred times before, I have spent the last two days scouring over the forum trying to find an issue that matches up with what I have. Some are close but not close enough for comfort.
About two years ago I had the IDM lose it's kick. After limping it around I replaced with a Swamp's rebuilt IDM. I chose the High Frequency and High Voltage mod hoping to get more life out of the injectors since several people recommended it on this forum. The CPS has been replaced about 3 times in the last 70k miles all under recalls. Funny how the original IH CPS never gave me a problem one. Last year I started having a fuel starvation issue, a number of things led to replacing the fuel bowl heater, the filters, and changing oil again. I then noticed I couldn't go below a 1/4 tank of fuel or the truck would run rough.
So now that the history lesson is over :read: a new problem has occurred.
When it is humid or raining (North Texas) my truck will have this very random stall issue. Could happen while driving down the freeway or idling at a light. The truck will just die, no warning, no service engine light, just dies. Everything else will stay on and continue operating. Put it in Neutral or Park and starts right back up.
I can go weeks and it will be fine or it could die twice in a day. Yesterday it died twice and stuttered once. I am sitting on about 1000 miles on the oil change with Rotella T my favorite oil. The issue usually occurs more often when it has just started raining for the first time in a long time or if the humidity is sitting at nearly 100% temperature doesn't really seem to matter but dew point may. However, it does happen when the humidity is at 10% and it is a 112 degrees too. It is completely baffling me as to the cause.
One thought was perhaps my APRS transmitter was causing the issue, thinking that may be the issue I just turned it off for a while, obviously that wasn't the issue though as it still dies randomly.
Could I have another CPS going bad? Doesn't that usually cause a stuttering stop though and hard to restart? My truck fires right back up like it was just turned off.
All ya'll's wisdom will be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:
