i have a 2002 f-350 7.3 after start up for the first in the morning i have no power unless i floor it to 2500 RPM then its like a switch flips and i have power again completely confused please help.

 

How long have you had the truck? Has it always done this, or is it something that started recently? What is the temperature outside when this happens?

 

i have had it for a couple of months now and it has always done it and it is 80 deg out side here. also my turbo up pipes are leaking going to replace next week could it be my ebpv?

 

Sounds like the EBPV sticking to me. Don't recall what the parameters are for normal operation but mine only operates if it is fairly cold ambient temps.

 

I think it's just normal operation. I'm guessing it won't shift into overdrive while this is happening either, right? My truck does pretty much the same thing. It's a complete dog until the transmission temp comes up to about 95F or so, and it's always been that way.

 

thanks guys ill take a look at the ebpv when i do my turbo up pipes

 

I run a 2002 7.3L F350 as well and have never noticed anything like that except in winter when it feels kind of stiff till the tranny warms up. Maybe I'm just a relaxed diver--I don't think I hit 2500 rpm on the average drive except towing or passing.

 

My ebpv tube is rusted in two. So my truck acts like what you are describing. Warms up and away we go!

 

I am new to this forum so I hope I am doing things right. I have a 2002 7.3 that is having some issues. It starts and runs great, however: every once in a while it will not start. It turns the motor over very fast but does not fire. If I let the truck sit for 20-30 minutes and try it again it will fire right up. I replaced the camshaft sensor in the front of the motor hoping that would fix it but the truck still has this problem. Any ideas on what the problem might be
