Have you replaced your fuel filters lately? If not, maybe you need to. If you have, drain the air/water seperater...check for presence of water. DId you get fuel at a new place? Maybe you got a bad tankfull. Any warranty left on truck? If fuel system is okay, I'd hate to say this sounds like the beginnings of turbo VGT failure.

I'm sure that you have a wire chaffing issue. There are several areas that Econoline wire harnesses rub and short out. The usual suspects are where the wire harness runs over the top of the PCM, and around the engine oil dipstick and left engine lifting eye. Hopefully you still have warranty, cause they can be a pain to find at times.

i second the nomination on the harness. to many wires in a tiny space. and of course the best idea yet, engine and injectors are all on same harness. ingenious!!!!
