Dead pedal = Dead Vp44?

Crusing at 70 today with CC on and all of a sudden I started to loose speed. I pressed the accelerator and got nothing but a dead pedal. The truck suddenly came back to life for about 2 seconds, then off, and finally back on again for about a second before it completely died.

It would not start afterward. No codes via key method.

Things I've noticed/checked:

1) Truck is a little more sluggish than usual. Just slightly. Economy is about the same.
2) Check FP 2 days ago, 14.5 @ idle, 12.5@WOT
3) New Cam position sensor 3 days ago. Old one threw a code (0341)
4) New Campaign pump and Vulcan 1/2" relocation kit about 1.5 months ago. (2000 miles.
5) I've noticed a little bit of fuel seepage at the 1/8" FP access port at the VP. (Vulcan tapped 90*) There are no drops, just a wet fitting.
6) New fuel filter 2000 miles ago.
7) Always add 1 qt. of 2-stroke/MMO/PS mix at every fill up.

Dead VP?

Could air in the injector lines or VP from the leaky fitting cause this?

HELP!!

Sounds like another VP took the big dirt nap.

My truck has ~87K on it. Tomorrow I going to give the local dealer a call and see if they'll replace it under warranty (crossing fingers here).

Are there any other conditions that would cause similar problems?
Apps?
A malfunctioning sensor of some sort and importance?
Faulty electrical connection?
