CHECK BATTERY CABLES, MUST BE CLEAN AN TIGHT. GROUNDS ARE IMPORTANT. CHECK ALL GROUND WIRES RELATED TO ENGINE. ALSO CHECK GROUND STRAPS, THEY LOOK LIKE WOVEN COPPER BRA STRAPS, THEY BECOME CORRODED AND BREAK. CLEAN AND TIGHTEN ALL GROUNDS. ELECTICITY WILL NOT TRAVEL THROUGH WIRES WITHOUT ITS GROUND WIRES SOLIDLY CONNECTED. HOPE THIS HELPS, IT COULD BE THAT SIMPLE.

As a follow up to my initial problem. I had the crankshaft location sensor changed and have had no problems since then. Thanks

sounds like your ignition coils are going out when they get hott they tend to die comon on the 5.4

Whoa, that's not good. Hopefully there was noone else on the road when that happened. The best you can do here is check your alternator, it's not common, but sometimes that can cause problems with sudden power cutoffs. There's more to it than that, but that should give you a pretty good start since you will need to check all of your electrical sections to make sure everything is working properly. If I remember right, a buddy of mine had the exact same thing happen to him in Germany. His power suddenly cut off in the middle of the auto bahn. His problem ended up coming from the generator portion (alternator). So I would check there first.

Code P1698 means
* P1698 PCM Failure EEPROM Write Denied
* P1698 -No CCD messages from the Transmission or Body Control
Module (TCM or BCM) Probably needs a new PCM (Aka computer or ECU)
autocom can help you check your car and clear the fault codes.

Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control
Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or
other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a
record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this,
like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor
for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read
these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a
special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)
DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED
THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT
MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for
correct spec for your make and engine type.
