Hello
Truck stalls randomly when driving. Have had O2 sensor replaced when engine light came on. Now no engine light but still stalling. Any suggestions?
Thanks Dean

Dean:
Start by checking for vacuum leaks. If you find nothing, you may want to check fuel pump pressure. I assume the check engine light is not on at this time, correct?

Many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge to check fuel pressure. Here is a video "How To" about checking fuel pump pressure.

Let me know what you find.

Thanks for the response. I took it in to my mechanic. He threw some water on the distributor and it shut down. Started checking under hood, found a wire rubbing on the intake manifold that had worn through and shutting the truck down when it touched. Some tape and a zip tie and good to go. Lucky he found it.
