Gents,
I haven't posted much here, but enjoy reading the forum immensely.
Lately, my '93 F250 with factory 7.3 turbo...
...has 'died' after I hit the throttle hard, then let off quickly.
It will fire back up right away. For example, the other day I was heading out my driveway, and due to lot's of snow, the rear wheels started to spin, so I quickly got off the throttle to avoid spinning the rear tires, and it just died.
I kind of thought this wouldn't happen with such a basic and strong running engine.
Another thing I noticed, is that the oil pressure is running at the low side of the gauge. The needle oil pressure needle hangs out around the 'n' of the word 'normal' when at idle, and doesn't climb much after that. I haven't run the rpms up to check what happens later. I did add 2 quarts of oil (15w-40) and that hasn't seemed to help, although it brought the oil dipstick up to the 'full' mark.
Thanks for any advice.
