Thanks in advance

also if i let it romp for 20 seconds and let it idle itsway out, i can shut it off and restart with no romping, but if it romps and i shut off it will continue to romp on start up, i had the problem stop for about two weeks and then it came back to romping, hoping its not bad injector / injectors, no smoke unless it romps and then it puffs as it romps

I don't know who makes NAPA's oil. How many miles are on the oil? Is it diesel rated oil? Just because it's diesel rated, doesn't mean it's good in these trucks unfortunately. Many of us run synthetic oil in our trucks. Some oil will foam up causing problems in the High Pressure Oil System. Are you running any kind of additive in the oil?

I can't say if that oil is your problem or not. Usually running Rotella or Motorcraft, I have heard nothing bad about either of those oils for the 7.3's. NAPA oil though, I don't know.

Yah that lucas stuff is garbage for these engines.
Mine was romping when i got her and continued to romp after a fresh oil change and fresh lucas.next oil change i put in delvac 15-w40 1300+ with no lucas and the romps went away. My guess is these motors are just picky about their oil.
Then again maybe it is your accelerator pedals position sensor giving you guff?
I heard of these symptoms being cleared up by cleaning the sensor, or replacing it. Cleaning is at least another nearly free diagnostic avenue.
Any chance you tried a new cps?
