97 ford 7.3 power stroke
Looking for suggestions on the problem im having, stopped on any incline idling when i take off it dies or i have to pump the throttle. Runs fine down highway and i disconnected the exhaust back pressure valve, replaced the injector pump a year ago, replaced fuel filter is there another pump on this or any ideas. Thanks

We have a "High Pressure Oil Pump" HPO which fires the injectors and a mechanical fuel pump in the valley of the engine. Does the issue occur sitting (idling) downhill or uphill? Incline means the same to my simple mind. Also is this just a little incline or something more like a mountain grade pass.

Only thing that comes to mind at this time is possibly a cracked oil sump pump pickup tube. When inclined up if the tube is cracked it can suck air and starve the HPO pump, killing the engine. Of course a low oil level in the pan would also cause this, we need about 14 quarts of oil including filter. I'm assuming you already know this?
