Driving home the other night my truck was stalling coming to stops like a manual. It runs fine in park and neutral, as soon as I put it to drive or reverse I feel the engagement, it moves a touch and stalls. No codes at the moment. New tps sensors checked tv cable, I have vacuum leaks but nothing new as it happened while driving. The vacuum line are broken at the moment. Here’s a video of it cutting out. Any ideas?

 

That's usually a sign of a bad crank position sensor. When it stalls try to see what you are missing.

 

Didn't see a video of the issue. Did you attach it to your thread?

I suspect this might be an issue associated with a very dirty throttle body and idle air controller (IAC). Clean the throttle body thoroughly and remove the IAC at the rear of the throttle body and clean out the well where the IAC plunger extends into the throttle body and clean that up really well, as carbon tends to accumulate in that area. Clean the IAC plunger, too. Reset the computer by removing the battery cables and re-installing them after they've been off for a few minutes to see if this resolves your issue. In addition, I'd fix those vacuum leaks as well, as they are likely contributing to your problem. Lastly, look down the throttle body into the bottom of the intake with a flashlight to see if you have oil pooling in the bottom of the intake. If so, you likely have a blown plenum gasket (or bad PCV valve) that will need to be fixed to keep your catalytic converter from being plugged up.

 

When my crank sensor went bad and the truck died on the road, I scanned my PCM with my scanner and it came up with a pending code that stated that the crank sensor was going south. Have you scanned your PCM when the issue occurred and also checked the pending codes?

Or not.

You can't post videos directly here. Need to host it elsewhere, (youtube?) and then link to it here.
