Engine died on highway. Help!
My truck suddenly died on highway last night while driving 110km/hr. It could not start right away, but waited a while it started then died again after 1 km drive. It did it a couple of times finally I managed to get it home. Just before the engine loss power I felt misfire.
The similar issue happened back into summer. I found a crack in the air intake rubber seal and replaced it and an air mass meter. It had been fine since then I thought it fixed.
Could it be the CPS sensor? please help.

My experience with crank position sensors is that the engine will continue to run when one goes bad, but will be difficult to start, or won't start, after you have shut it off and try to restart it. Also, a bad CPS will set a check engine code. Speaking of, did you check for codes?
