dampness effecting throttle response
I have an 02 superduty 7.3. It is being effected by dampness. When its raining
or the air is damp, the throttle surges and dosn't respond under low rpms. It does not effect the idle at all. When acting up, I have to press the footfeet down approx. 1/2 way before responce. Then it diesels up reving and cutting out.
I have had it to the dealer and they could'nt find anything. Once its warmed up, if I let it sit for a few minutes, it runs normal. It happens mostly on start-ups, or driving on wet roads. Anyone have a similar problem? I have changed the cam sensor and fuel filter within the last 500 miles, still acting up. Earlier this winter I had to change 2 electric footfeet pedals, as they would no longer respond. Any help would be great!

2001 F250 PSD and I just went through a car wash to get it looking clean. Big mistake, I thought I would not get it home. I cleaned the engine the other day without any problems (engine was cool) but tonight I guess it was a little too hot. I think the steam got into something and caused the service light to come on and it was sick! I hope the engine will dry out but like you, I wish I knew what part it was impacting so I could seal it.
You can drive a hummer under water but you can't take a F250 through a car wash. Break out the hose and bucket...

Thanks for the reply, there must me a bare wire or crack in something, hopefully someone else has already had the same problem and can lend some advise.
I have checked my wiring harnesses and had the dealer go over it. It figures when I switch back to Ford after my Ram Truck tranny problems that I would get one that has a freak problem. Such is life......
