Randomly shutting off!
96 Ford F-250 7.3 diesel shut off randomly while driving. Sometimes it will start the engine before it slows down. Right before it starts the “wait to start” light will illuminate. If it doesn’t start back up and you have to cycle the key the “wait to start” light will not cycle. After a few minutes the light will illuminate when the key is cycled and it will start. Already replace the cps this last weekend!

Because the little things sometime escape our attention I have to ask; do you have a heavy key ring hanging on the key that is in the ignition when driving?
It is a little thing , but has been known to cause a vehicle to shut down when driving because it moves the key tumbler section of the switch and causes the engine to shut down. It does sound as if the key is getting turned off, maybe and maybe not.
