97 loses power

[lifted_up]

My friends 97 F350 CC loses power at acceleration during initial warm-up. It idles slightly rough, after acdelerating it acts like fuel starvation and drops back to idle & it will gradually pick up RPM and get to speed and then repeats three or four times, then runs pretty good. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem?

sounds like th exhaust back pressure valve(EBPV)is closing on it.on the drivers side on the turbo the is a black 2 wires connector bolted to the turbo housing,unplug it and see how the truck runs.

Problem solved

After thinking about it a bit, I suggested he check his oil - he called back and said it was over a gallon low. He had a leak at the filter. Problem is solved. Thanks for your input.
