    7.3 shuts off

    Hey Doug, I would have to agree with Big Joe's response above and take a look at the CPS. Especially, if you have not already changed it out. There was a recall at one time from the Ford Co about the CPS and it was a dealer changeout costing the owner nothing but the time and effort to get it...

    7.3 shuts off

    As a follow up to the intermittent shut down issue that the big white mule was having, the loose programmer chip in the PCM was definitaly the problem. After driving it a couple of more days and having no issues with shutting down, I soon tired of not having the extra power and crispness of...

    7.3 shuts off

    :clap:Well Fellas, glad to report that the big white mule has not missed a lick since finding the programmer loose in the PCM last week. Drove it to work all weekend and had no problems or symptoms at all. Sure glad that it was something that was an easy fix. Probably will put the 'chip'...

    7.3 shuts off

    Yea, when I found the chip somewhat loose, I sorta figured that would cause it. It had been taped in place, but the PCM cover screws had never been put back in place, so that give it some ability to vibrate and shake I guess. If this proves out, I may reinstall with some 'real' tape instead of...

    7.3 shuts off

    After looking it over some more today, I think that I may have stumbled upon the item causing me the problem. While trying to determine if there was a loose connection, wire, terminal, etc. around and behind the inside fuse box, with the engine running, I inadvertantly hit the rear of the PCM...

    7.3 shuts off

    Thanks for the input, guys. I did call myself checking the #30 Fuse and did notice that when running, the 7.3 will die when this fuse is pulled. Maybe I need to look deeper into the wiring/connectors. I will take another look this morning. I had also thought that maybe the CPS may be faulty...

    7.3 shuts off

    Recently, my 2000 7.3 Powerstroke has been doing some strange and odd things. Several times over the last month, the big mule just decided it wants to shut off. Most of those times it had cranked right back up, but on recent shutoff's, I have had more difficulty than normal to get it to fire...

    Power Lock Malfunction

    I sorta figured that the fix would involve removal of door panels, but was hoping that just maybe, there would be a relay of some sort that could be replaced under the hood, dash etc., that controls the power going to the locks. I am going to look at one of the malfunctioning door locks maybe...

    Power Lock Malfunction

    Having trouble with the power door locks on my 2000 Powerstroke CC 7.3 diesel. It seems that after a mishap with my granddaughter playing with the power door lock trying to keep others out of the truck, that now the remote or main driver side lock button will not fully lock or unlock the rear...

    7.3 runs bad no power

    RArmer, I may have missed someone else suggesting it, but make sure that when you turn the key on (without cranking) that you hear the fuel pump come on. It is located under the driver floorboard on frame. It should come on and run a few seconds before shutting off if engine is not started...

    Lost power, missfires

    Had the same problem a few months back. Sudden loss of power, no get up and go, misfiring, no trouble engine codes, etc. Went through all the necessary troubleshooting, checked wiring connections, removed chip programmer, changed fuel filters, etc. After the filter was changed, I noticed that...

    7.3 engine running rough, no power and no codes

    New fuel pump and pre-filter installed yesterday. Engine runs better than before and is not as loud under the hood, either. I had heard that low fuel pressure would make the powerstroke engine more noisy so i am assuming that the old pump may not have been putting out the correct amount of...

    7.3 engine running rough, no power and no codes

    Figured out what appears to be the problem with my 7.3 Diesel. After doing some more routine checking of the fuses, relays, connections, etc., and with a little help from the lady of the house (hey, I had to have someone to turn the key on), it seems as if the frame mounted fuel pump was not...

    7.3 engine running rough, no power and no codes

    Thanks for the welcome to the sight and the info. What is the best way to test or check for the throttle pedal malfunction? Will it set a code? Also, the symptoms started very suddenly with no warnings (i.,e., low oil pressure, high water temp, etc.). All other functions seem to be normal...

    7.3 engine running rough, no power and no codes

    I was driving my 2000 7.3 today and noticed very rough acceleration with no power after stopping at traffic signal. The truck had been running maybe 10 minutes or so with no symptoms until I tried to accelerate at the light. Thought maybe that the Superchip had become loose, so I stopped at...
