fastracer4827.3 Powerstroke question.
My pickup 1997 f350 power stroke stumbles under acceleration when I first take off. Seems to run okay when you get past that one spot. I’ve already replaced the fuel filter and it was pretty dirty, but it still stumbles. Any ideas on where to start looking?

Throttle position sensor?

Drive by wire.
My '94 had a dead spot in the pedal, if you hit it just right, it would kill the engine.

EmanEngine oil level at full? fuel pressure? Scan for codes? Many scan tools won't communicate correctly, you can download Forscan and use it to access codes and data.
