I drove close to 1k miles over the holiday, including some time hunting the state game lands. Luckily, about 5miles from home, my truck stalled. There was no hesitation, no bucking, no other symptoms other than the engine died and the check engine light came on, code P0068. It will not start back up in Neutral. I have to go to park and shut the truck completely off and then it will start back up, like the truck has to reset for it to start. This has happened 6 or so times since Wednesday and seems to happen while accelerating. I recently changed out the TPS and cleaned the IAC trying to cure the rpm issue, the one that makes idle go from 600 to 1000, back to 400., which it still does. Has anyone else had that same issue with the stalling? Will a code scanner tell me which sensor is bad or do i just start replacing them?

my '04 did the same exact thing. after spending about a total of $800 in parts in labor (including replacing the pcm/ecm) it ended up being a cracked vacuum line that runs from behind the intake manifold to the pcv valve.

That figures. Been too busy working to mess with it. Thanks for the heads up. I can only hope it's that simple.
