idle rough
I have a 1997 f250 7.3L 4x4. Put in a chip last week everything ok. change my fuel filter two day a go. Left the truck idling at work for about 30min came back it had died. At a red light the idle will go up and down. Sometimes almost choke out. Drives like a champ. Maybe the fuel filter? not sure. tell me what yall think.

If it was the fuel filter - I wouldn't think it would just affect the idle - but I could be wrong. You said you got a chip - so the first thing I would probably do is pull the chip and see if it still does it. My truck idles a little different with my chip set on the higher settings - not that it would die or anything though. I'd pull the chip to rule that out first....

I agree with cat-man, pull the chip and see if that helps.
