Message:
My truck died at speed for no reason. When I checked the code it read No buS

After letting the truck sit for 5 minutes the truck fired up and all was well. Drove it all the way home.

Anyone have any guess on what could be going on here? I have changed battery, plugs, plug wires, camshaft sensor, cap, rotar. As part of normal tuneup. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

no bus

the "bus" is the communication wire that interconnect all the modules and instrument cluster and also to the DLC(data link connector)

Maybe a power/ground problem to PCM, wiring problem, PCM

If you can get to someone with a scanner, check DTC's --- my guess is that there are none; what you are looking for is the starts since reset. If you have not done any work recently, it should be 255 starts since reset. If you had a power glitch to PCM or brain fart in PCM; it will show a very low #

Wiggle the connectors to the PCM while the engine is running-- sometimes that will uncover your problem.

Be sure to post if there is any more information about what triggers this to happen. It could get tricky.
