What's wrong with my truck????

.... At startup, few mins into it, a POWERSURGE, and then black smoke... high idle.... then back down to normal...

Sometimes at red lights the same thing....


Also, I have read some of you guys cleaning your own EGR valves, is this possible for a 2004? Also, how easy is it, and is there a write up on how to do it?

Thanks yall!!!

As a guess, it sounds like the ICP sensor is acting up causing surging. If its an early build 04 engine its back behind the turbo. If its a late build 04 like mine, its in the passenger side valve cover. I had a minor surging issue last year, cleaned the sensor connection and problem went away. You really need to pull the codes though to know for sure.

For a good article on EGR cleaning try www.forddoctorsdts.com.
