Runs good, sputters then shuts off. IDM issue?

Its not a bad thing to do because it will prevent the uvch from coming loose and when the quarter is put in, the clip cant snap, It only snapped because i pulled on it.

Does motorcraft sell just the replacement harness or is it best to get the harness with the gasket and all?

Runs good, sputters then shuts off. IDM issue?

Thanks for the links. The fist one is a bit confusing since im not sure what numbers there referring to on the main harness if that makes sense. And the second link is what i tried today. You would just check for instance cylinder #2 the 22 pin and the 23 pin and should get 2.9-3.6? Cause if so...

The harness looks good to me but it may be worth ohming from plug to plug if I could find somewhere that has the diagram for the main harnessy. Also what setting should I put my volt meter on to test the plugs? Thanks

Would it cause the truck to run good one second then the next second run like crap? I was thinking if it was that then it would just stay bad and run like crap all the time after it came loose. IF its worth trying i will tare it off tomorrow and take a look.
