Hello. I am working on an 04 IC RE DT530. The driver reports the bus stalls once or twice on her route when driving at low speed like coming up to a stop sign or in a parking lot. I changed the fuel filter and checked for codes. No codes. The bus starts right back up after stalling. Does anyone have any ideas on where to look? Thanks!

Possibly a bad crank sensor? I've had that happen on Bluebirds. No codes, but the data wouldn't read correctly when you looked at it. Replaced the crank sensor and no more issues.

It has a camshaft position sensor but no crank sensor. I believe it does the same thing though.

yep, start by replacing the cam/crankshaft sensor. I'd bet that solves your issues. I kept one in stock for my DT's (mine would a smidge older though- 998-02.)
They would cause this symptom, and quite often wouldn't have any DTC codes.

I changed the cam sensor and it seems to have worked! Thanks for the advice!
