I have a 2001 F250 with the v10 that wants to die when shifting into reverse. It doesnt happen all the time but getting worse. It has also done it shifting into drive a couple times or coming to a stoplight it wants to cut out. Reverse is the worse. Please Help

 

I can't help you but I had a 95 F350 with the 460 motor and mine did the samething that's why I have the 02 F250 now lol

 

my uncle has the same problem with a chevy k1500...i reccomend a maf sensor

 

If it does it when the engine is cold, then it may be your idle air control valve (IAC) valve.

 

Check the transmission fluid level. Low fluid can cause the torque converter clutch to drift on and cause a stall. It can also be a loose/missing internal filter, worn seals, or a worn pump in the trans. It could also be totally engine related, but I'll be not.

 

Mark,
So would those conditions cause TC lockup? I know zero about autos, but it sounds like the OP is experiencing TC lockup?

 

Yes, that's what I said. Any of those things can cause the torque converter clutch to partially apply, locking the torque converter. That causes the engine to stall.

 

Hi, I have a 2000 Ex with the V10 at 285k. Even with regular fluid and filter changes it just started having this same problem. I am wondering if anybody has fixed this issue with their vehicles. Thanks
