my truck is stalling out when i put it in reverse and then give it some throttle sometimes it also happens in drive at stop signs when i take off. Has anyone had this problem before. Is it a torque converter/tranny or motor problem? Thought i would ask , thanks
2001 f350 7.3 stalls out

Does it shut off? or die under load///
There is a cam positioning sensor that malfunctions at times, it is an easy fix. A lot of guys have a spare in the glove box.

My vote is always for the cam position sensor, even if you buy one and its not the problem, you will have a spare atleast.
Another vote for CPS. They have gone down considerbly in price, I think they are around 25 bucks from the dealer (use to be over 100). Simple to change out, need a flat screwdriver, and a 10mm socket. I carry one in my glove box, and the tools needed to change it out. Many 7.3's have been stranded due to the cps, so not a bad idea to carry a spare. Also, check your fuel filter...
Another vote for CPS, I had the same problem on my 2000.
There was a recall for the cam shaft sensor today from ford. I can't remember where I saw the article but I read it this morning.
this may sound funny but check the tranny fluid.............my 95 ps would stall out when I put in gear,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,took it to a shop, they found out that the tranny was low and the tourqe converter was locking up to fast..........filled up tranny and no more problems............
thanks guys i will try all the above and hopefully it will be one of them
