Deisel allmost dies
I need help in finding out what my problem is. I have a 1997 F250 crew cab 4X4 short bed 5 speed 7.3 power stroke heavt duty with 115000 miles on it. I run Shell Ratella 15-40 with 1 qt Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer and napa oil filter, fuel filter. When I come up to a stop light, throw in the clutch the RPM drops below the idle point almost dies then goes up to about 1100rpm then settles to normal, but it does not do it every time. Some times when idleing around on dert roads, if I idle down hill then up the other side it allmost dies and some times does. It has a hard time recovering from the coast down hill. Other than that it runs perfict. NEED HELP.

First of all, stop using the oil additive. It can do more harm than it does good.
It sounds like it could be a bad CMP sensor. The symptoms you describe are typical when it's on it's way out.

I think john meant the CMP=Cps....cam position sensor . Located on lower left front of the block ...down by the harmonic balancer . Purchase a new one fron Int'l dealer as it should be cheaper from the ford dealer. it has a 2 wire plug and i think it has one metric bolt holding it in place. Pickup a glowplug relay (100) as it will keep your truck from starting. good insurance....sk
