KyleODaniel Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 A few days ago while driving down the street I noticed my truck had just completely shut down, no rpms, no gas, enginehad completely came to a stop, but yet the radio and ect. still continuedto run, I thought it may have just been a freak accident, so I let it go, but recently it has been happening about once a day, It has one it while I've been driving 20 mpg, Starting to accel, and also while coming to a stop, No warning lights, no check engine light, nothing.. I need help, I just don't have any idea on what it could be, or where toeven begin looking, anybody that thinks they can help, Thanks in advance. Thanks- Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1SCSS Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I ran into very similar issues, it has always been the electrical portion of the ignition switch. Not very common but always the same failure. I have replaced about 4-5 for this concern.... JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) It can also be either a cam or crank position sensor. You will have the same symptoms of the engine shutting off as the sensor cannot find the position of either the crank or the cam. My buddys truck did this and it only got worse. Turned out it was the cam sensor. You need to find out which problem you have.

SSworkhorse Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I am having this issue with my 03 SSS runing fine until warm and then spits and sputters till finally stalling but started as just a shut down like i turned the key off while driving and has progressively gotten worse. Only thing is im not getting a check engine light when this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
