I have a e350 too with the 7.3 turbo diesel powerstroke engine.. I had similar probs as your
1. Try replacing the IDM module. Its a little box on the right fender near the air brake assy..that is the module that controls the the injectors.
2. The powerstroke engines has its own hi pressure oil reservoir that builds up hi pressures to open the injectors.. over the years the oil tends to sip away.. The hi pressure oil reservoir is located front top section of the engine just beside the aircon compressor. remove the airfilter casing and unscrew the pressure switch on the left side rectagular oil reservior. There is a filler plug on the right but it is quite inaccessible. check if there is oil, if not fill it with oil 40 and reverse the procedure then start the engine.

The ford mechanics may not know this trick because the engine was made by NavStar.. I had mine brought to FORD repair shop and it took 10 months to get it back.. in the end I was the one who diagnosed the problem cause I bought a manual and have to teach the stu__d mechanic to fill it with oil..He taught the oil will be coming from the main sump but the manual says its separated/ independent....hope the problem/ case is the same as yours.

I have a 1989 Ford E350 Box van,
Every time I shift into drive it jerks and will travel about 5 feet then disengages. It does this in every Gear. I can�t travel more than 4 feet before the transmission stops working.
Any Idea How I can solve this problem?

Hi Brady, I bought my 1995 Ford E-350 7.3 Diesel van about 3 years ago for $800 bucks. It needed some work but it too had an intermittant problem with it running rough and having a loss of power. By now you probably have solved your problem but if not my mechanic found a short under the valve cover gasket in the wiring harness. (something to do with the injectors)... anyway $1800 later (well worth it) the thing runs great other than being a rust bucket. It has over 350k miles on it and I will run it till it dies. Good luck!

#11 of 14 Diesel Misses and Dies in the Rain by miller_ridge

Nov 08, 2011 (7:41 pm)

I have a 1999 F-250 with the 7.3. For the last 10 months, it has started missing, then dies in the rain. My mechanic replaced the IDM, the main computer, the cam shaft positioning sensor, and the mass (or map) sensor to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions, we are really close to a bullet and a cliff.
