2003 7.3 flooding
I have a 2003 7.3 power stroke that if you leave the inter cooler hoses hooked up and try to rev it up, it bogs down and boils out black smoke. Un-hook the hose and it runs fine. Revs up and no smoke. I am guessing:lack of air, but WHY? Waste gate stuck? What controls the waste gate?

If I had to guess, I would think Rick probably has the right answer with the rag.
What made you decide to pull the IC tube to see if it would run better? That sounds like it had to be a last ditch effort, or a very lucky guess. Either way, welcome to FTE Ted.
