No acceleration from the start
I have a 2004 6.0l powerstroke diesel.
When I bought it it ran great. Shortly after the pulley on the AC unit went out. Had a new AC unit installed and now i have no acceleration from a dead start. Seems that when i depress the accelerator, I get very slow accel. Even putting the pedal to the floor shows the tach climb but no accleration. It shifts fine and when i let up on the gas i get a shift and a little acceleration. Tried a new movable pedal, didnt change anything. Also no codes. everything else is stock. Only thing I have found is a sticker saying the PCM was reprogrammed. Did not have this problem before the AC unit was installed. Any ideas? Very new to diesels in general. |
Make sure the MAP hose is plugged into the MAP sensor, and that the hose is not cracked or plugged up.
KOEO - post MAP, EBP, Baro readings |
ok. i am going to get new hose for it this weekend and just replace the vacuum line.
How do i get those numbers your asking for? MAP, EBP, Baro readings |
Vacuum on the 6.0L is used only for 4x4 hub operation, for climate control operation, and for the heater hose valve.
MAP, Baro, and EBP are obtained by getting a scan tool that reads live engine parameters (PIDs). All 6.0L owners need this type of electronic gauge system. Choices: ScangaugeII, Edge CTS Phone or Tablet Apps - Torque, Forscan, DashBoss |
i meant that i will just replace the hose to the map sensor so i can eliminate that item and i will get a scanner this weekend. Hopefully i can find the problem soon.

Got this issue resolved. Turns out that the high pressure oil pump and relay was shot. no low end oil pressure for the acceleration. A pricey fix but it is fixed and i no longer have a paperweight in my yard. All I have left is to replace the #8 injector and I have a 100% running truck.

Glad it is fixed. What relay are you referring to? The HPOP is gear driven.
