The code will only show if it stalls while hooked up I think.I repaced ignition switch.had fuelpressure test done.replaced plugs wires and dis cap.still stalls.the stalling happens everyday but is random with no shaking or chugging. Truck runs great till it stalls. Then you have to wait 2 to 10 mins to start again
