truck died at a light, restarted first try and is fine now. sensor on its way out?
90 degrees today, had ac on. died as i stopped at a light. no noises or strange behavior. cel came on when it died, obviously but went out upon restart. when it died the ac stayed on and radio stayed on as well. never had an issue before like this. thinking random stumble or possibly a sensor is starting to fail. if so which would you look into? has new IAC, tested tps checked out ok. thats all though

Yeah as hey you said if theirs anything noise or anything when u spin the pully it's time to replace it. What happens is your iac valve goes to 100% with that much load but it's still not enough to keep the truck running and it dies at idle. And it will stumble a bit of the start. If truck is fine with AC off I would definitely check your compressor and pully before looking anywhere else. Your only other thing is your iacv isn't compensating for the extra load the ac adds. U can also try turning your heat and defroster on which will kick the compressor on and see if it does the same thing. And trying turning lights ,wipers, radio , and everything u can turn on in the truck to see if the iacv compensates for the extra load

Same issue i originally thought fuel pump but tested that and it is at 52 psi and only fluctuates about 2 psi even when revving the engine or driving. A new IAC was installed 6 months ago. i haven't been able to tell if its coincides with ac clutch engagement or not. But will check with clutch engaged and disengaged tonight. is there any sensors that would cause this issue with no codes pending or set?
