Problem overview

Some Ford E-350 Super Duty owners report experiencing intermittent power loss while starting, which may be linked to a faulty sensor, as indicated by warning lights such as the check engine light and brake light. Additionally, fluctuations in boost pressure during acceleration can signal performance issues. Owners also note that problems with the fuel system, like a clogged fuel filter, can contribute to power loss, particularly in demanding situations like climbing grades. Furthermore, battery drainage when the shoreline cord is disconnected may suggest underlying electrical issues affecting the starting process. To address these concerns, some owners find that disconnecting and reconnecting the battery or checking components like the PCM diode or fuse can help resolve starting difficulties.
