01 excursion 7.3 love it!! First powerstroke in the family but noticed an issue today when driving... I am getting a drop in power when cursing at steady speed no cruise on. I'll be cursing and it the motor seems to surge a bit then regain power quickly. Weird almost like your running out of gas. Any help will be greatly appreciated...- James
well i'm not contradicting or saying i know the problem as my post count is low as well , but seeing as it is doing it on cruise control could it have anything to do with the recall on the cruise control harness ?
thats what my dads truck felt like last time the cps went out and it did it for about a month then finally died, now it doesnt do it at all but i havent driven it very much since it got cold down here
My truck will do it with the cruise on too. Can you hear any change in the exhaust sound? The ebpv may not be the problem, but it can easily be ruled out.
Ok I changed the fuel filter and cam sensor and ran a quart of dextron in the tank to relube things up I forgot to mention I have a superchips programmer on the excursion to and a banks turbo. Everything else is stock. Just got back from a 450 mile trip to San Marcus Texas and it doesn't do it with the cruise on just when using the go pedal. But it still doing it... Sorry for a late reply been wait till after the trip.. James
has the a/c been on when its doing this? idk if it would effect these motors but when the compressor started to cease up on our old jeep it would make the motor feel like it was going to stall when it kicked on, but that was a small inline 6
Is everyone on vacation or what? I am starting to think it's the TPS sensor ( throttle postion sensor) any thoughts ? I only say this because it does not hesitate on the hwy with cruise set just when using the gas pedal...
To save time,money and aggravation,you may just want to get it hooked up to a scanner and find the real problem.:nod:
No point in changing parts you may suspect are bad-that could probably cost way more in the long run-and still not fix it,but these trucks won't work with OBD II tools,you will need AE software or a reputable dealer or diesel shop.
Same thing was happening to my ex. Turned out to be the accelerator pedal in my case. Got a new one from the dealer and it went away.
Good luck.
