I Have An 2004 F250 Sd 4x4. When I Go To Press The Accelorator,
I Have Nothing? What Is Causing No Pickup?

When you say I have nothing, do you mean no pickup or the engine stays at idle?

It As No Get Up And Go. I Could Pull Out Into The Street And Get Run Over. I Cant Get Out Of The Way Fast Enough. I Thought It Was My Egr Valve. So I Unplugged It And It Didn't Help.

The EGR valve could be stuck open but I don't think that would cause this much power loss. I think it might be your fuel filters. When was the last time you changed them? Does your truck have a water in fuel light?

mine does the same thing, but only when towing, rpms go to 1100 and truck will not move. This is also on when we are on a grade and truck is cold

reel_scream,
That sounds like a computer/sensor problem. It must be going into some sort of limp mode.

Do you notice a boost at all in the turbo PSI? Sounds like your truck is running like a non-turbo diesel.

sorry guys just got home, no turbo until it warms up just stuck at 1100 rpm's. Going back to work, thanks for the input. Truck going in for it on the 1stfor that, plus injectors, like to give tech some input.

thanks
