    I have a 93 freightliner with an n-14 engine. I am sitting at a rest stop now and desperatly need help. The truck was running fine until this evening. Now it stalls whenever I come to a stop and attampt to take off. I have to wait for about 1/2 hour then it will start and take off ok. It will run down the road fine until I have to stop again be it 5 minutes or 2 hours. When I stop it will idle but as soon as I give it some fuel it dies. Whats going on?

    Additional info. I had a shop replace a leaking gasket on the fuel pump about 2 weeks ago. Is it possible that could be causing this problem. Also I checked the codes, nothing showing.

    Fuel filter was replaced 2 weeks ago. Just checked codes again after cleaning battery cables and I am getting code 121 engine position sensor circuit. What is that?

    There is only the engine position sensor. It is located just below the compressor drive and above the oil pump on the front left side of the engine. There is a connector about 4 inches back from the sensor. Make sure it is fully connected and the terminals inside aren't corroded. These sensors won't last forever. Sounds like the sensor has a partial short/open coil and it can't generate a proper signal at lower rpms.

    more info. When I pull the codes I get 222. I know what that is and have had it for 6 months with no effect on the running. Now when the engine stalls and I try to restart it the check engine light flashes 121 code. But then when I pull the codes again it just gives me the 222. I'm lost.
