7.3 loosing power

new to site was wondering if fuel injectors throw a code when it goes out. I have a 02 7.3 been running rough when you accelerate bogs down and looses power not sure but sometimes gas light would come on knowing I have gas in it could that be a sign of the sending unite and that's why it runs rough

This sounds like a fuel delivery problem. The is a mixing chamber in the tank on the sending unit. It has two small screens in it that plug over time. Check fuel pressure at WOT wide open throttle. It should be above 50psi.

Search the Hutch Mod for instructions to fix it so it never happens again. While you are there the Harpoon Mod only takes another minute and allows you to get more fuel in the tank without spitting up foam.

This is what my OEM screens looked like after 240,000 prior to installing the Racor PS120.
