rough idol sometimes
Morning, I have a 2000 F350 4x4 CC 7.3L 323,000 miles auto trans.
I have removed my tuner just to make sure that it was not the issue.
The truck will run fine then all of a sudden the idol will rise then fall or studder or go up and down and sometimes it will just Die but it always restarts. No trouble lights at all. I am not sure what is causing the issue?
Any Thoughts
Thanks Al

What is the fuel level? I would start by checking the fuel filter. Then I would check out the fuel pump and see how it sounds after turning the truck on, but before starting the truck. Then, I would start to look at the Hutch/Harpoon mod.

Found it I think
The electrical plug for the fuel heater came loose and was dirty and moving back and forth I cleaned it and reconnected it and so far my problem has not happened again. Hard to believe that was it but I hope so. Thanks for all the help.
