Default Help!!

Hi guys. I have a 99 ford 7.3 6 speed To start off the CPS has been replaced. When driving down the road my truck will shut off and the engine light will come on but when I take my foot off the fuel pedal the light go's off and it go's again??? When the truck cuts off if I keep my foot on the pedal it will remain off until I lift then it's all good??? It dosn't turn off at ideal and when it dose cut off it's only the motor nothing electric. I tried to use a code reader but there is never a code as the engine light is only on breifly? Been doing this for a year and has never left me stranded it's just getting old. Anytime I ask any "know it all" diesel mech they always say "it's the CPS"??? I guess thats the easy answer?? Im hopping someone else has had this problem on here and can really help me. Thank's Ted

"The CPS (Camshaft Position Sensor) is one of the weakest links on the Ford 7.3 Powerstroke engines. The sensor has a high failure rate and common symptoms include having the engine die while driving as if you turned the key off just to have the driver pull over and restart without any problems; periodic 'hiccupping' of the engine; complete failure of the CPS can kill the engine and will not let it restart."
