My truck was running like crap, kept stalling and cuttin out. Put it on the snap on scan tool. Cam position sensor circuit intermittent and Cam position sensor circuit fault cam up. Changed the Cam sensor, drove it around then let it idle for an hour. Scanned it again, came up clean. So I drive it home (30 miute ride) and about 5 minutes from home it starts cuttin out again. I scan it again today and the same codes come up. Any ideas?
I just changed the fuel filter, fuel 60psi, new ipr 9 months ago,new ipr sensor 9 months ago, 10k resistor,

Can someone direct me to the fuse box diagram. I don't have an owners manual so I don't know what this blown fuse goes to. It is in the engine bay fuse box. Thank you in advance.

Dyoung14, good call on the cam sensor. I swapped the BW sensor out for a Motorcraft and now its fine. Ran the truck for 4hrs strait and 1 of those was with a 7000lb load. Didn't have one problem!
The knolledge and help on here is why I love this site.
Thank you guys for the help.
Now I can get some work done.
