Intermittent power loss 2012 d13 engine 12 sp auto

This has happened about 5 times now in the last 2 weeks but 3 times this morning..

Driving down the road and all of the sudden I have no acceleration from pedal, it’s just dead , it stays running, NO engine lights come on — but it won’t rev up, if I pull jake down it won’t do anything like apply jakes , if I put it in neutral the rpm drops to idle , put it back in gear rpms come back up —— but no acceleration.
Then in 5-15 seconds it comes back to life.

Fault code in computer is a spn 5298 fmi 18 which appears to have something to do with regen or exhaust temp. But I’m not sure if that would make the pedal lose power?

Anybody got any ideas ORRRR does anyone know of a good mechanic / shop between Orlando or Savannah. —— heading north from Orlando tomorrow

Thanks

 

Yes both lights have been on for months -

 

Sanded all my my wiring connections, batteries, all grounds (I could find). Etc
All 4 batteries replaced couple months ago

 

Ok thanks for the advice. Actually my abs light isn’t on. It is my tcs and uphill assist lights that are on. Been on since oct. of 2018 can’t seem to track down problem. Uphill assist I don’t really care if it is on and my tcs seems to work if I get in a muddy job site offload. If one tire starts spinning the others will start turning. But also because I can’t turn it off it may be affecting my mpg.??

 

I know what you mean. Believe me. Last dead pedal happened on I 10 in a one lane construction zone. I was kinda freaking out.
Thanks for your input on the turbo actuator. Turbo doesn’t seem to be acting up but I guess if the actuator is acting up it could be an issue.

Hopefully I can find a good shop because I don’t need dealerships throwing a bunch of parts on in hopes they fix the problem.
Thanks again for your reply

 

Also out of curiosity do you remember what or where the problem was causing the dead pedal? Wire broken, bad connection ?.etc. thank you
