'99 7.3 power loss and low oil pressure
On start up (warm or cold) it takes a little longer for the starter to fire the engine. The idle is smooth, but when I put in gear there is a major loss of power and the transmission shifting is jerky. I have already had the CPS changed about 3 months ago. And just had the exhaust back pressure sensor changed. I was able to limp it to my mechanic while this was happening and he read a low oil pressure (around 500 to 600 psi). Turning engine off and on usually clears the problem, but the problem returns now and then. Any ideas?

I was curious if it had a chip. Sometimes aftermarket programming can call for more oil than the pump can deliver.

Put your mouse pointer over the word signature right below my post count and you'll see how it works.
