Hey, I've got a 89 F-350 with a 7.1idi and a ZF-5.
First I need to give you a little history. I had microbes growing in the tanks, which wrecked havoc on my fuel system. I replaced all of the fuel lines, the filter & housing. I also put in a carter electronic pump and replaced the IP with a reman. Turns out that in the process of replacing the IP I managed to get the thing out of time 180 deg.
6 months later my father in law, a diesel mechanic, finally fixes it
I've been driving it around on a 5 gal jug of diesel right now till I get a tank.
I've noticed that if I'm driving in 3,4,5 gear (1,2 go too fast to notice) that if I push down the pedal too far it stays for a few seconds and the engine revs, and then lets off. If I push in the clutch it'll bounce off the rev limiter.
Any suggestions of what to look for? I don't want to take it to my FIL cause it'll be another 6mo before he fixes it
