7.3 td misfires and stalls..

waynard · Oct 19, 2005

Hi, new here.
Just bought a 99' f-250 td and have had some misfires and stalls. No apparent reason and it starts up again right away.
The check engine light came on once after a misfire, but then reset when I restarted the truck.
Is this a real common thing for these engines? Seems like from what I have read so far, its a bit of a game where you keep throwing money at it until it is fixed...
any ideas?

Sounds like a CPS. Sometimes they'll set a code, sometimes not.

Check out http://www.thedieselstop.com

Go into the forums (you'll need to register to post) and look for the '99-up Superduty section. They have it broken down into different parts. Go into the 7.3 liter engine and drivetrain section and ask there. Lot of guys there should give a good answer.

http://www.thedieselgarage.com is another good site. It's for all 3 brands, but I'd say most of the people on there are Ford guys. You could ask there also.

Oh, I just looked, I see you are at the garage. Good choice!!

buy it at an international dealer, it is far cheaper than the ferd dships.

Cam sensor common, does the tac fall to zero when it stalls with the engine still turning? I had this same failure in mine.
