: stalling and a real strange surge

Did a bit of searching and the consensus seems to be the FPR is the usual culprit for surging problems. Just wanted to say what is happening.
Last week coming home from work I stopped at a light. When the light went green added a bit of throttle and the engine instantly died. Put it in park, started it, pulled it to drive added a bit of throttle and dead. This happened 3 times and it then drove off normal. No other problems till today. I had gone to the lake fishing and had come home and parked the boat so the engine was still hot. I took off for lunch and when I left the stop sign at my street the motor had no power, and wasn't responding to the throttle. It moved about 10 feet and power dropped off and it started surging, probably jumping around 500 rpm then back to idle. Truck wasn't moving, I put it in neutral and hit the throttle and no change. It was on a slight incline so I let it back back into my street when I touched the break normal idle happened and it started to respond to my right foot. Put it in gear and off to lunch. Any thoughts?

Did you check all the pins on the harnesses for the Edge and change your fuel filters?

I haven't checked the Edge connectors but will do that today. The fuel filter has less than 5K miles on it. I know they can plug with one bad tank but this behavior is so random I don't feel it is a filter problem. To add to the original there has been no codes indicated and no SES light.

Mine did that almost every time I attempted to take off while I had the Banks on. Disconnected banks and everything was OK. Installed Edge, no problems since Spent thousands attemptin g to diagnose--Replaced FPR, injectors, pump, etc..

I have had that happen before. Called Edge and they sent me a new box.

The other day when in stop and go traffic I gave it throttle and it acted like it was running out of fuel. Did this twice and not since. But then two days after that the truck was idleing with the high idle on she just shut off. No codes and has not happened again.

WTF I have no idea what happened.
