Engine shuts off and then back on quickly

My 2001 Peterbilt C-15 475 runs and occasionally will shut off and then back on quickly enough to stay running with no interruption to the gauges on the dash.   Has a few times died driving down road and when immediately trying to start will crank and turn over but will not start, after a few cycles of cranking it will start and run.  Have checked batteries, alternator, have checked ECM with pro-link shows no codes or problems.  Have wiggled ignition key trying to cause the malfunction but did now occur.  Any suggestions or recommendation would appreciated and checked out,  thank you.

Re: Engine shuts off and then back on quickly

I realize my problem was not on a marine engine by a small chance an electrical problem would be comparable. After many views and no help, my witch hunting paid off, i don't mind helping someone anyway. I replaced the cam sensor and that cured my problem.

    I have a same problem with a C11 mounted on a 966H , it looks like a ECM on the engine is blinking, so I check the wires for a power supply and ground, but I don't  found any problem with them, so I put this ECM on the another 966H and the problem appears again. After changing the ECM problems disappear.
