Having some strange issues.......

Last week I was cruisin' at about 30-40 MPH in your typical city traffic and all of a sudden truck starts to sputter, buck, smoke like crazy, and timing rattle big time. So I pull over shut the truck down, wait a minute or so and start it up again and everything is back to normal. So yesterday it did it to me again. Really weird!! Could it be my FCA or TST crankshaft camshaft sensors buggin' out, or........?
Any ideas?
I do have 185K original miles on my stock/Arson CP3.

2006 Has a few issues mine has done that before, electrical harness to your injectors, in those models sometimes they tend to rub and short out sometimes and then will be back to normal, I had that issue with my 06 several times

You had an injector hang open, what was the cause, not sure. It could be your TST. Unplug it and see what happens.

I dont know what caused it. I have had the smarty/tst setup for almost three years now and these are the only two times it has ever happened. i will unplug tst next time it happens and see.
thanks
