#694 of 760 2004F250 loss of power by gerlad1 Sep 09, 2009 (6:02 pm)
My F250 periodically would lose power --engine not shut down--but no response to throttle. MANY trips to both Ford dealers in town yielded lots of tests but no results including replacing the accelerator wiring system. Finally, one of the diesel mechanics said it looked like it may be having an erratic ICP signal. Replaced the pigtail connectors and I have never had a problem since then. Went the first 3 years I had the truck with many stall outs--no response to letters to Ford, etc. until this one guy at the local Ford place replaced the 4C3Z*12A690*AA wire assembly. At least that is what it said on the repair ticket. That was 40,000 miles ago. Poor fuel economy but the truck has never stalled out since then. Gerald
#695 of 760 Bad fuel pedal. by amccormick Sep 10, 2009 (1:02 am)
I have a 2002 f350 power stroke, I have about 3/4inch of free play before it starts to accelerate.I checked to see if I could adjust cable but it does not have a cable. How can I fix this problem? It only has 97000 miles.
#696 of 760 94 7.3 powerstroke by pstd94 Sep 10, 2009 (11:29 pm)
just bought a 94 powerstroke with the 7.3 turbo diesel and the guy said the only thing it needs is glow plugs and when i was driving home the check engine light came on and i lost power but truck didnt die, but got it goin again and check engine light stayed on and ran just fine then it started to sputter a bit and blow some white smoke then the light went off and ran fine but just about everytime i step into the throttle it sputters for just a couple of seconds and dumps some white smoke, does anybody know if it could just be the glow plugs getting worse? If not any suggestions? plz email skeetertzxhotmail.com Replies to this message: cowboy9 (Sep 11, 2009 7:58 am) gerlad1 (Sep 11, 2009 9:04 am)

Replying to: pstd94 (Sep 10, 2009 11:29 pm) Well Skeeter,    It's not the Glow Plugs doing that as the Glow Plugs are only at start up then never engaged until the truck is shut off and re-started. White smoke is usually a sign of a Turbo starting to go out or Blown Head Gasket letting water into the system. But check your Air & Fuel Filters first and be sure to check an see if there is a Inline Fuel filter under the truck as well. You may get lucky and just have bad filters. If the guy told you it does that because of the Glow Plugs tell him he is on crack, you can make a simple call to the dealer and they will tell you the same thing I have just said.   Also I am not sure where you are from but I went to school back East in Pa. with a kid name Skeeter. Emporium, Pa. if that is you Hiya if not I will still try to help ya, lol.   Tony Replies to this message: gerlad1 (Sep 11, 2009 9:04 am)

i have a 01 f350 7.3 diesel ford pickup. it has a monitor that monitors trans temperature, pyro, and turbo. the trubo pressure is very low and feels like i have less power when pulling fifth wheel trailer up the mountain.. no smoke, engine is running ok, just less power and a ticking sound that seems to be louder. any suggestions.truck speed can be as much as 70-75 mph and the turbo is reading as low as 2.5 to 3.5 Replies to this message: dennis66 (Sep 23, 2009 3:51 am)
#702 of 760 2004 cracked heads ? by rod04 Sep 21, 2009 (8:59 am)
I own a 04 Powerstroke and tow a 36 foot 5th wheel. Three days ago we were heading to the mountions on vacation towing a 15 foot cargo trailer with a Harley in it when it started overheating. I went to a mechanic were he tool me there is coolent both internal and external and looks like both head gaskets are leaking or cracked heads. I have 49970 miles on the truck and the warranty ran out in May. I am now waiting for the extended warranty carrier to tell me how much they will cover. Is there a class action lawsuit going on regarding all these problems with the 6.0 ?
