'98 E350 7.3L EOD4 problem

Many times when I shift into neutral or drive with foot on brake, the engine rpm's rise a bit and it stalls and dies. Sometimes in drive, from a stop and applying throttle it loads up and dies....Thanks in advance, Ahren!

Are there any codes stored?

The places that read codes free CANNOT read these codes. You could use Forscan, a good independent shop, or a Ford dealer.

I meant to say reverse and drive....I'm not sure what you mean by "codes". It is "chipped" with 5 different power modes with the hand-held plugin device. It is set to OEM stock setting now.

Codes mean Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that the PCM stores in it's memory when it detects something is wrong.

The ABS and brake have been on for the last two weeks, and that is when it started to get worse....I live in Panama now and finding a decent independent shop is tough.
