I have a 96 f250 stock except. For downpipe and cold air intake. When excelerating at 3\4 throttle or more when it gets to around 2200 rpm it loses about half power and does not gain rpm and sometime throws engine light until the rpms drop. The fuel pump is new and I have between 65 and 70 psi at the fuel bowl. What would cause this

AE or scanguage

fuel filter? air filter? Does it smoke?

It seems to be pretty narrowed down but if it helps anyone today on the way home frome work if going slightly downhill I could ease the throttle and get close to 3000 rpm and about 80mph without much problem. It would only happen if I punched it to fast or was going uphill but even the slightest extra load of a small hill and instantly no power

sounds exactly like a HPOil issue...

here's a procedure on testing the ICP/HPOil pressure on a 7.3L..if you verify that your issue IS related to the HPOil system...then you'd need further diagnostics to determing which component(s) to replace. could be high mileage injectors (leaking HPOil)...IPR leaking (internally)...weak HPOP, etc...

Hmmmm... well I know its not the same problem, but sometimes my trucl wouldn't hold 3 grand, it would idle pretty damn lopey, and just seemed kind of tired, I dropped my 238/100's in there and it took care of it all! Also before the swap, at wot, my truck wouldn't go past about 2000 psi, and when I would let out it would go up to about 3000, the injectors seem to have fixed it too

My guess is that it is starving for oil. But that is only a guess until you get some numbers from your hpop. When did you change oil last? What oil are you running?

where can you get a scanner that will read that? and what does that cost?
