Possible turbo problem
Hi, I would first like to say this site has helped me soooo much already.I just bought my first ford and my first diesel,(i have always had chevy gas)I love the diesel.However i have had two problems in the two or three mounths i`ve had it.It`s a 95 f350 crew cab psd.The first mounth i had it it just quit running like someone pulled the plug on it.That`s when i found this site.I then learned i had a bad cam sensor.Fixed that and it ran great up till last night.I live about 1 hour from my home and the truck ran great to work and most of the way home,but as i pulled into my town i slowed down then started to go again and had no power 0 boost.Even if i floored it it had no boost and would only go about 40.I got home let it set for about 10-15 min then went out and drove it again and it was fine again had power and lots of boost again.WHAT`S UP?Any ideas?Thanks.

Would a normal acting ebpv do that, no. But they do have a reputation for acting up. I can't see what the air filter would have to do with it but it never hurts to check. If you did get a SES light the only way to know would to have the codes pulled on your truck.
