'96 7.3 cuts off and off

[calee720]

I have a '96 7.3 with 130k when driving at any speed the engine cuts on and off quickly. as if you turned the ignition switch off and on while driving. this can happen at any time, at intervals of 5 to 20 min. I changed the fuel filter. this can happen running on either tank. the truck runs great otherwise. any ideas

thanks lee

did you get the CPS recall done?

No, JLD means the Cam Position Sensor (CPS) recall & replacement.. by Ford.

A bad CPS will/can cause the intermittent stalling out (dying) you desribe.
