I bought a 2007 F350 4x4 6.0 in Aug, I'm having surging issues with. I changed the fuel filters but it is still doing it. I have no codes, and it runs fine some times then surges. It seems that when it surges it also is a little dead and slow in responding to acceleration. This is not good at the stop light you want to hold that brake frim! It will surg 100 - 300 RPM I would say. Any Ideas? Also I have no gauges just the stock dash gauges and no chips just bone stock and from what I can find, it always has been.
Thanks

Search for EGR valve cleaning. That's where I'd start.

 

I have been dealing with a surge for a year now Benny directed me to the map sensor and hose connection at the EGR cooler,also clean the EBP and tube, exaust build up in both my truck alittle better but not 100%

 

Have you seen this thread?

first check for codes fix all as required then retest for orig. concern
moniter ipr% and icp# with eot @185* or higher address any concerns found there
if its still there unplug ebp senor, if concern goes away suspect failed vgt, replace vgt if no harness concerns are present

 

Thanks, I hope I have some time this weekend to work on it. I figured it would pop some codes but it doesn't so guess problem is not that bad yet but I'm sure it's headed there if I do nothing. I have a auctron scanner but not sure it's compatable with the 6.0 when I hook it up and look at the data it gives me doubles of everthing. Any good ones to buy that are best for the 6.0?
thanks for you help and I will look at the things mentioned above!

I and many others use the ScanGaugeII which is pretty cheap from Amazon and your local parts store... even cheaper is a tool like Torque for the Android. There are other tools out there that can do even more, like AutoEngenuity, but they cost more.

That sounds exactly like a problem I had which was fixed by replacing the ICP sensor. It determines how much oil pressure to send to the injectors which, in turn, determines how much fuel gets into the chamber.

 

I took out my ICP and sprayed brake cleaner , my surge and Im crossing my fingers IS GONE well for three days now THANKS to BENNY

 

Great call DavB

 

Use Carb Cleaner to clean electronics

Brake fluid is to Harsh and will kill some sensors

 

OOPS, it was just the icp but its sqeeky clean now I read the back of carb can it said dont use on elect parts well brake can said that too, No Surge

 

I hear ya

Seen a few foks spray brake cleaner on a MAF Sensor and kill them Fast

The Carb cleaner Might be less harsh

there is special cleaner for MAF Sensor

 

Well looked at it and wiggled wires around some of the sensors mentioned here but could not recreate the problem she is running fine and behaving herself for the last 4 or 5 days. I did find a right front axle seal out, oh the fun! Also found I need to press the bushing back in the control arm. The bushing looks fine just not seated properly letting the arm hit the bracket and make some noise. I guess all I can do is fix what I found and hope the surging has stopped. Thanks for your help to this point will post more if the surge comes back. Thanks to all for helping out here.

Drbless,My 6.0 has had a surge Issuie foe 1 1/2 years , untill I found FTE and learned a little about my truck , after reding tech folders and talking to almost every body on this site I started working on my truck MAP, and ICP was the easy route to work on first ,where the map connected to the EGR cooler was plugged truck was 75% better,then went for the ICP and cleaned the connection I"m at 95% it was easy to do really,hell I was haven so much fun I went for the back flo 98% Thanks to all you Guys here this is a great site P>S had to much fun had to do the radiator too
