no power

[np205]

Just got truck about 1-2 weeks ago, 2004 6.0 auto 4X4 CCSB, 99K on it. Was driving down the road and went to take off from a stop light and no power. Would idle, smoked on throttle application but no power. Was thinking no boost and turbo was sticking. GOt it to finally clean up and run but still does it here and there. Going back to dealership Monday when shop is open. Everything is stock. any suggestions??

Thanks,

Owen

What color smoke? Could be sticking turbo or an egr that is sticking open slightly

White smoke when throttle pressed down with no boost turning to gray as boost started to come on.

Are you losing coolant? Hard start in the morning, smell anuy fuel anything like this? Could be ficm, failed egr cooler, or egr valve still. Or any combination of the three.

Coolant good, no mix no loose coolant, fuel smell bad.

Starts ok.

Sounds like a ficm then, or an injector. You got any way to pull codes?

Monday.

Good luck.

Still going to get looked at tomorrow but for now I unplugged the EGR valve and no more issues.

Get looked at Thursday, get codes pulled, still runs better than it did, starts better with EGR unplugged, also fuel consumption went down. Just need to make sure everything is ok before I go elk hunting the first of next month.

having the same issue with mine. Just waiting to get my parts in and doing egr, oil cooler, and bulletproofing.

Before I did d*****, mine did exactly what you're describing suddenly. Pulled the egr valve and found it to be all coked up. Cleaned it with carb cleaner and re-installed. Ran like it should.

Your egr valve is stuck. Takes 10 minutes to replace it. Plenty of videos on YouTube of it.

Yup, only thing was egr. Fixed for now and will fix it better later
