Rep whores make me sick
My work truck.
97 F250 (old body style) 5.8, 5 speed.
Coming back from a 140 mile trek earlier today, I started having a problem with my truck. I was running along about 80 and it started sputtering like it was shutting off, or running out of gas. I backed down to 70 and it straightened up for about a mile, then did it again. I slowed down even further, finally getting to between 55 and 60 before it would run without sputtering out.
I continued on at that speed to get it home. Other than the higher speed sputtering, I did notice that when accelerating, it doesn't really have any response past half throttle.
I pulled codes (weird, this truck has the old style connector, OBD I?)
KOEO test gave me a 33. (EGR valve not opening or not seated)
Engine running gave me a 538 (insufficient RPM change during dynamic response test)
Before I pulled the codes, I was thinking that maybe the fuel filter needed changed, so I was going to try that. Now that I see it has thrown codes, where do you think I should start? Any input?
