Default 2005 ram 2500 shuts off while driving

I'll be driving down the road just fine when suddenly my tachometer and speedometer gauges drop to zero than spike back up. When it does this you can feel the significant power loss. It'll do this and shut off while I'm driving and sometimes when coming to a stop, but lights and everything stay on. I pull over and turn the key off and on. It'll start back up completely fine. It'll do this fairly often I'd say every 5 - 10 minutes and it takes awhile but eventually the check engine light will come on and it will make a slight grindy sound for a second than the sound goes away but the light stays on. Any ideas?

First code is PCM power sense circuit problem.... That's the one you need to go after first, as that could potentially be a bad PCM.... Troubleshooting that one is gonna be fun though, as there are a fair few potential causes....

Second one is Manifold Absolute pressure sensor. Voltage too low. Might be related to the first one.

Third code is fuel pressure high. That will put the pcm in limp mode, thus, the loss of power, and running generally crappy, but, shouldn't cause it to die....

Might be a long shot but did you ever figure this problem out?

If the sensor reference signal is low, ALL of your sensors are going to be wrong. Got wiring diagrams? Gonna need 'em to trace the power loss.

That is really uninformative.... How about you start your own thread, tell us what you are driving, what the problem is, what troubleshooting you have done, and any parts you have replaced.
