dies, starts, runs fine, sputters, dies. HELP

[lonestar]

Ok, I tried searching, but I get everything from won't idle, to water in the engine. I'll try to be specific as possible. Heres what happened.

I was driving home on the express way at about 75 mph and then all of a sudden I lost power and engine began to sputter, pulled off into emegency lane and it died. As i was coasting I restarted and it ran fine, so I jumped back in traffic. Got about a mile down the road to my exit and it began to sputter again. So I pulled off and checked under the hood. Everything seemed fine, gauges looked fine. So I restarted and off again. And then it died about another mile. After about 2 more times of letting it die and restarting I made it home. And there is no CEL. Now I look at a night of working on my truck, dang, it's nice outside too.

So what should I look at?

I think I will check the fuel pressure first. Seems kinda odd that it happend all of a sudden though, my MPG have been good. I guess I will try to pull some engine codes too, but the CEL is not on.

What about a clogged cat or something?

we were about 1500miles from home and our truck gave out.

Check the fuel pump for sure!

thats all the advice i can offer

 

[LuCiFaRiAn]

either fuel filter, or some aspect of ur ignition...

 

[MrShorty]

don't forget fuel pump relay and associated wiring, engine ground, coil.

It was the filter.... at least it runs now

Didn't realize how much gas would come out. Now that I smell real good, I guess I'll wash up.

Now back to figuring out how to bleed that clutch. It appears my bleeder screw has been tampered with. There is no nipple to attach a hose.

Sorry I posted so quick without investigating, but I was bummed.
