Engine Cuts Out
We have a 1996 F-350 w/7.3 L diesel and upon acceleration after start up (most of the time) the engine cuts out, but after several times cutting out the engine runs fine. Seems to slowly be getting worse. Fuel filter has been changed. Within the last year the wiring harness under the valve covers has also been changed. Any ideas would be appreciated.

It's a ten minute job if you have done it before. Half hour if not.
It's located at around the ten o'clock position next to the crankshaft pulley on the front of the engine block. Held down with one 10mm bolt.
