I Have An 01 F 350 7.3 L That Reconnected The Wire Harness Under Driver Side Valve Cover. When Started Up Everything ran fine. When I went to drive it, it stalled out pulling the code P0743. There is a big harness connection above the valve cover that I did not take apart but moved around a lot to get the cover off. I do not see any bare wires but I cannot get it apart to look for corrosion inside the connection. Am I on the right track and how do I get the connection apart?

well i really ca't see where it would be connected.but if you reconnected plug and ran ok then stopped running possibly plug has come off or harness inside v/c is bad this is a common prob. however should have a misfire code as well.

the engine runs fine sitting there in park. when i go to shift into gear it stalls and i cannot move it. i believe this is because of the P0743 code i just don't know if the tcc electrical is tied into the main harness connection above the valve cover
