shutoff problem

My truck did it again last night, under full throttle it just shuts off, no response from acc. pedal, wrench light on dash came on. Had to turn off key & restart, then it runs ok, wrench light off. Happened a couple months ago & local dealer replaced the electronic throttle control body, it showed a trouble code. This time he said no code so they didn't do anything, he said it could be your Edge Insight, which I don't think it is. Anyone else have this problem or any advice? I suspect it is a computer problem.

edge programmers have caused a bunch of weird issues with the drive by wire systems. has it only done it once since it was fixed the last time?

i dont know anything about the edge insight so, can you view all the parameters? and check codes with it? see if you can get a code out of it right when it happens next time.

Yes, one can view almost everything, also can check codes. Couldn't do it this time, had to get it refired & out of the way before I could do that. Last time it did it the Edge didn't show a code but when I took it to the dealer their machine picked one up, (throttle body fault). Hopefully next time it does it I'll be able to coast off & check it before refiring.
