1st of all when Ford started out with putting "EGR's" on those diesel engines, they rushed it and are nothing less than a pain in the ***! i recommend having an EGR cleaning service performed by your local Ford dealer, i know they charge up the wazoo, but they're the best people to perform the service period.this is a VERY common problem with those engines and that service is "supposed" to be performed every 30K I believe. i dont recommend attempting to remove and service it youself, this WILL only make it worse.

Testimonial: "Im relieved to here that someone else is thinking the same thing. Im still going to try it myself as i am somewhat skilled at this but Thanks a bunch!"

Summary


Should a customer express concern about one of the following:


* hesitations,
* poor or no start,
* deteriorated fuel economy,
and upon investigation diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) P1412, P0490 and P1335 are stored in the powertrain control module (PCM), the probable cause is a sticky exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve.


To rectify this concern, a new EGR valve with a stronger EGR valve motor and revised PCM calibration should be installed.

Why is my truck idling rough but doesnt do it all the time

check throttle cable. A bad throttle cable will cause it accelerate
& decelerate. Check for worn out cable and replace it.

Rough idle problem

could be a vacuum leak at a hose or gasket. with the engine running spray a little carb spray at the intake manifold area. if the idle picks up you are close to the vacuum leak. dont spray on the exhaust manifold area, be careful

Idle is rough

Spark Plugs have to be changed every 3 years
Front Oxygen Sensors changed every 100,000 miles
Can't have any Vacuum Leaks -- anywhere on the vehicle
Need to have it road tested with a Professional Scan Tool
& look at all data & get caught up on Preventative Maintenance
Very few people change motor oil 3 or 4 times a year, if at all,
and the Variable Cam Actuators fail, as a result,that & few other
things can cause rough running engine & resulting idle issues
It's well known that Ford COP Ignition Coils fail sometime in
every year of ownership

If the truck is a diesel, I would look at the EGR valve and the throttle position sensor. The TPS and even the EGR should turn the check engine light on and set a code.
There was also a problem with the turbo boost sensor.

2006 f350 6.0 powerstroke diesel missing. help

there is no wastegate on a 6.0l turbo. its a variable geometry turbocharger and doesn't need it. i have never seen a turbocharger cause a misfire, the turbocharger is most likely not your problem. if you didn't clean the intake out when replacing the egr valve there is a really good chance that the egr is bad again. also, a bad egr cooler can cause repeat egr failure. also, fuel injector control module is a common cause for misfire

My 04 F250 diesel truck is loosing power every time I accelarate or go uphill and sometimes lets out a substantial amount of blue smoke from the exhaust. I changed the EGR Valve, and it improved for one...

Check the air filter and check the fuel filter. Most diesels lose power from a dirty air filter and moisture or dirt in the fuel filter. When you remove the fuel filter pour the fuel in a glass jar and let it sit awhile if you see two different fluids in the jar you have water at the bottom and fuel on top and need to replace the fuel filter. I think the EGR valve may have been a coincidence. let me know .

It sounds like your EGR valve is sticking, the EGR valve position sensor is bad or the EP sensor is bad.
