Default Was going to say, don't think it's CPS

When my CPS went, it was a sudden engine stop, no spluttering or bogging down. Re-starts 15-20 minutes later, runs a bit, stops again.

I haven't had 1 good experience with this truck yet, I'm thinking engine was rebuilt or head gaskets, I'm finding wires that just seem out of place. Is so close to getting another diesel jetta or something

Put a code scanner on.
Look for pending codes.
Drive it with a code scanner looking live.

Look at fuel trim.
Look at O2 sensors.
Look at speed
Temp.

All these need to be accurate.
One of these may be fouled up.

You seem to have time to post on here but not time to look at your truck.
You must have computer access at work like most of us.
No harm, no foul.

Of course we are curious and want to help.

I broke down on the way to work. I had to leave it at a gas station. I have a smart phone. I have a scan gauge. I got short codes. Something is either shorting or my alternator voltage is too low. It'll only idle and drive at idle 5mph. No more. Accelerator makes Rpms drop and engine die.

I'll inspect when I get off at 5 In the morning.

Should'a kept that LR3.

I know I'll get flamed for this, I would never buy a DII, ever.
If I was given one, I'd trade it for something else.

Eh, I didn't care for it really..

Anyways just realized its the camshaft sensor, which to me is better.. And I think I may know where the short is. Ah, the joys of a LR. I swear one more thing and its *** is grass.

The cam sensor is twice as much as the crank sensor.
If it is bogging down when you give it gas it is most likely a fuel issue, check your fuel PSI before replacing anything.
Think about it, you press the throttle and the butterfly opens letting in more air, if there is not more fuel also going in it is going to run to lean and bog down.
Same thing if it were getting to much fuel and not enough air but that is almost always accompanied with black smoke.
My money is on the fuel pump.
