Dies but will restart

[mitchC]

Hello I have an 06 3500 4x4
With 243000. It starts then dies it will restart. This morning it would try to die and restart before full stop.
I’m hoping someone else has also run into this issue. A little over 10000 on fuel filters no WIF lights.
I pulled two codes P0521 and P0483 not sure if either could be related.
Pretty much stock besides straight exhaust.
Thanks

Simple things first, but the P0483 sticks out "Cooling Fan Rationality Check Malfunction" amongst other names.

Verify and isolate (testing, pressures, filters, checking, etc) the problem before buying parts would be my advise. The fan clutches aren't cheap for the OEM ones. There are a few recent threads...

It's commonly observed that a malfunctioning fan clutch can cause a no start condition. Someone jump in if im wrong here, but its more likely to cause a no start on the later 04.5+ trucks. My 03 hasn't had a working one for at least the two years I've owned it and I've not had any issue with it, most recently I installed a new Mopar one and the harness got chopped, didn't know it till I looked since I've got no codes or abnormal running conditions.

Good point - unplug the Fan and see if it still dies.

Disconnected fan clutch plug to no avail. Replaced fuel filter no change.

So when it restarts does it run normally? Have you checked your fuel pressure?

I replaced the Fuel Control Actuator.
Yesterday and it has solved my issue.
Thanks for the the help
