02 powerstroke update

My 02 has been in the shop again for several problems My back up sensors were screaming at me when I backed up with nothing there and clean. the first thing ford did was a lube job and the tech experianced this himself ,unfortunatly all he does is oil and lbe etc and according to the dealershib eventhough he experianced it, it not being his job they could not verrify the problem No wonder they cant fix it they did a key on engine off code search and found nothing.
It now idles up from 750 to1050 rpm and drops if you touch the brake or gas even when completly warm , running for hours.It also idle climbs to about 950 and will not drop until it wants to I sthis normal

Are you getting air in the fuel system? Did you recently change fuel filters? If air is getting in you will have erratic RPMs and low performance under a load. Just one thought.

There are a lot of people having the same problem. Ford claims to be working on the problem but don't hold your breath until they solve it.
