hello just thought id ask, yesterday i stopped and got fuel at a fina station.after paying for the fuel it was hard to start it had to wind up,and it now has no power, takes over a half mile get to 55. It seems to be bogging down very badly,but it idles just fine. It is a 95 ctd and has never given any problems at all till now. Any ideas on things i can check to start eliminating what can cause this ,,,thanks,,,

 

First thing I'd do is smell the fuel and make sure it didn't have a gasoline odor. If OK, I'd change the fuel filter and inspect the old one for water or slime from the stations tank.

Sure sounds like a clogged filter.

Good luck, RJR

 

Have the rubber fuel lines ever been replaced.....?? Could be air getting into the fuel system....

 

Bad fuel? Fuel filter? Fuel heater pre screen? Fuel lines? I would start with them as suggested above, Goodluck, and let us know, Rick

 

very good point....if you havent replaced your fuel filter pre-filter, it could be plugged...

thing is i drove it to the store about a mile down the road it went to normal ran perfect till i got home,started it up about an hour later went right back to doing it. i have changed the filter and the rubber lines and checked intercooler boots to make sure they were not loose,and i filled up both trucks at same time the other ones fine,so i doubt its bad fuel.

 

Check the pre-filter before doing anything else

 

I would also check to see if the fuel shut off solenoid is opening all the way, maybe hanging up, not allowing enough fuel to flow. Darl

 

...and finally, make sure that the accelerator cable is in good shape. they do stretch.

 

thanks guys it was the shut off valve not going all the way,
