I was driving my truck one afternoon and, at a relatively slow speed, the truck shut off. No sputtering or anything, just shut off. When I tried to start it back up, I was having to really work the throttle to keep it running and was really having a hard time getting it to regulate and stay running. After sitting for a few minutes, it started backing up and had no issue. This has happened at slow speeds, stop and go traffic, cruising at 75 MPH, and it will just shut off. It will crank right after but just won’t work right unless I let it sit for a couple of minutes. It usually lasts longer in the morning heading into work, even making the whole trip, but will have this issue in the heat of the day heading home. No lights or indications on the dash of an issue. I have not been able to plug in a scan tool yet to see if there are any codes. Recent work includes a camshaft position sensor back in 2021 and new spark plugs at that time too. It sat for a while between last summer to March and needed a new battery and starter to get it back running. Ran through the tank of gas since it has been running and am on second tank with a fuel additive. When it is running, it seems to have no issue at all. I can count on it to shut off at least once a day and it usually runs just fine after. And ideas and testing you recommend would be greatly appreciated!
