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!!

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?
