Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cruise Control cutour followed by Check Eng

[dieslman]

Cruise control cuts out for no apparent reason and then the engine goes to an idle and the check engine lite comes on and stays until I think 4 clean starts. After the truck slows down the engine will come back up to speed and seems to be normal. Anyone have any info on this one.

Dieslman, What year is your truck? Use the "User Control Panel" feature to set up your signature for you and your truck. Is your truck a 2000 to 2002? If so try this: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96261



If it's a 98. 5 to 1999, then goto an Advance Auto, a Pep Boys, or another large auto chain and get the codes read.



After you get the codes here is a list of them: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96634



I have printed the codes and put them in a binder ( if only I can find the binder )so I have them for coffee night, or when ever. Just a guess would be a speed sensor problem, or a VP44 Issue :{



Do you have a Fuel pressure gauge? If not get one and/or a Low Fuel Pressure light. Don't run your truck under 6PSI for a long time as you will harm your VP44. Good Luck, Moose00 Oo.

Thanks for the come back, I was planning to get a code reader and read it out. The first time it happened they cleared after 4 or 5 starts. I read somewhere that they can do that for minor codes.



PS: I am looking for the user control panel. Where is it?
