So I've spent an hour or so looking thru the search finds but nothing like this! I was driving my truck (07 XLT 4.0, 4WD) and the engine quits. I throw it in neutral and try to start but get nothing. So I pull over and put it in park. Turn the key and it starts right up. Drive about 2-300 yards and it quits again. I pulled over and try to start it but nothing this time. I wondered if it may be the alternator went bad with me knowing and driving on the battery killed it. However, headlights were plenty bright. I get in and turn the key and it starts right up! Now I'm scratching my head. Take off, get on the freeway and drove about 2 miles and it quits again. Now, when turn the key I get no crank, the theft light flashes rapidly and the odometer displays only dashes. Got towed home and put the scanner on it but it can't communicate with the PCM so no codes. I've tried my other keys, checked all related fuses/relays, verified voltage at the PCM (11.9 volts), and checked PCM grounds! Before I give the PCM it's last rights is there anything else you think I should check that may be the issue? I did replace the Thermostat Housing (AGAIN) last week but I hardly think that has anything to do with it.
