truck stalling??? any ideas

[K_Arts]

Ok guys... heres the deal. I was backing up in my drivway to hook up the boat, and about halfway up the driveway my truck just turned itself off. Though she started right back up once I cycled the key. Then I get the boat hooked up and head out to the lake. As I am backing down to launch my boat, my truck stalled in Reverse again. So I started her right back up. I backed down the rest of the way and get my boat in the water. I put my Emergency brake on and put the truck in Neutral. Truck stalled again. So I started her up again, and put her in Park, stalled again.



So I let my truck rest for a minute as we launched out boat. I tied the boat up and left the wife there with it... wanting to get my truck parked. After the truck sat for a minute she was fine, she didn't stall for the rest of the day. So as soon as I got it home I decided that I better change the fuel filter (I changed it about 4000 miles before). I haven't noticed a problem yet... though I only drive it about 5 miles after changing the fuel fiter. I am hoping it was either a bad filter or maybe bad fuel. . and nothing worse.



Any ideas on why my truck would just start stalling?



Thanks

I think i'm going to take out the TM and put my stock ecm back in when I get home and see if that helps out at all... .



As for the lift pump... . I'm not saying that it couldn't be the issue, but it was replaced at 7200 miles... and I just past 19k.



I dunno... .

any codes ???



Had to sell a wonderful 86 Bronco XLT, 351 auto,390:1, factory detroit lockers f & r, captain chairs, yadda ... ... for similar problem, would just up and die, might restart imeadiatly or an hour or two later, replaced all harnesses, ALL electonics, sensors and injectors.





GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!

No codes... . she just dies.





hmmm... geesh... I wish I knew what was going on. Could there be a possibility that the fuel filter was just congested? Maybe bad fuel?



Thanks

dirty fuel filter would give low power , and run vp44 hot as it starved for fuel, same fuel starving as a failing lift pump. I seem to recall a long while back of vp44 doing this before final meltdown. Also of failing lift pump doing the same.



Have you checked your fuel pressure. ????
