Ah...the engine sputter... See what you all think of this one...
Was driving fine. Sitting in the McDonald's drive thru, it suddenly (and I do mean suddenly) started sputtering. Managed to get out of the drive through and it died. Utterly and completely. Cranks, but no start.
At the mechanics, the codes were showing bad O2 sensors, bad knock sensor, bad crank position sensor (I think that's what he said). Also low fuel pressure.
They replaced 2 O2 sensors to see what would happen with the codes then. Apparently, now it's throwing all kinds of codes. They *think* the ECU may be failing.
Any guesses? I am finding it hard to convince myself to be putting more than $1200 into a truck that is 8 years old with about 130,000 miles on it. That was the estimate for just the O2 sensors and knock sensor.

I can't believe I put it off for 4 months, but I guess I kept looking at other possible problems first before I spend $200 on a new distributor....thank god that was it!
