stalls when idle

[chirsg01]

need help. i have a 97 f-250 powerstroke 7.3 diesel. just recently, it started to stall when i idle in traffic or make a slow turn (less than 5 mph). it only happens maybe once a day or every few days. any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Did you ever find out what the problem was? I have an 01 7.3 and will die occasionally when I am idleing. It will also miss every once in a whilie when I am on the highway.

changed the Camshaft Position Sensor and its all good. Real easy fix. Took about 5 minutes to change out.
