So today I am extra thankful for my joining and supporting this forum. So today I was out offroading my raptor near Corava, NC and my truck just died on me. My first thought was "Oh Shit!", because I was out here pretty much alone since I was just running to and from the store to get necessities for the beach house. So I tried the engine again, it started then died. Then I started thinking of some of the posts with trouble that had been similar to what I was experiencing. So I went to inspect, no oil leaks, check dipstick for oil and it was fine. This was the first thing I went to sine the oil pressure indicator had popped up on the info panel, even though the gauge was showing plenty of pressure. Next inspect the intake, since I remember a thread where someone's CAI tube came loose and the engine died. Yup it was the tube to my volant that came loose behind the Mass air flow sensor. Luckily, I had been prepping for HITH and had some of my tool kit and recovery gear with me even if my rack is not here yet. (Should be installing it on Saturday night) In that kit I had enough to re attach and tighten the clamp. Then took a second to take the battery loose for 5 mins, not sure this really was needed but figured it might help reset the ECM.
So I want to thank all of those on this forum who are kind enough to share their experiences and knowledge. Between the prep for havoc threads and the other engine problem threads it really saved my bacon.
