Default Random cut outs

ok I'm having a problem with my truck. it's cutting out randomly. i do have a ts chip on it which that could be the cause, but then my teacher said it kinda sounds like it's not hitting on all cylinders. so idk if it would be the pcm or the wiring under the valve covers that would cause it, idk im at a lost i guess

when i had my stock injectors with the TS it would cut out pretty bad around 2k rpm but once i put the stage 1s in all that stopped so im guessing my old injectors were shot

ya mine i've noticed does cut out more around 2k or higher but it also has cut out just sitting idling but not as much as when i've got her running. i do plan on puttin in bigger injectors but i dont have enough money yet to do it

sounds like its the cam/crank shaft sensor and there only about 30 bucks at napa and a quick easy fix

check the glow plug plugs that plug in to the valve cover if they are melted that could be the problem

make sure you cleaned your pcm good where you plug your chip in, that could be a problem too, my dad has a 97 powerstroke as well and one of the glowplugs was melted but it didnt cut out.

ya I think the plug needs to be a little cleaner cause I thought it was spotless but I'm gonna clean it more, and I planned on probably getting new wiring when I got injectors but now with the chip off it doesn't cut out at all so it might just be the connection, or too much fuel and injectors plugging up with carbon which I don't think it's doing that
