06 Ford E350 V10 losing power
I just got home after buying a nice 06 E350 12 Pax van.
i towed my Jeep home and it did a great job. The 5 speed torqueshift is a huge improvement over the old 4 sp.
The last 5 miles of the 120 mi trip, I was coming up a decent hill and the engine began cutting out and losing power. It seemed like it did it at partial throttle because if I pushed it to the floor and seemed normal until I let off and it would cut out again.
I pretty sure the trans is not the problem as it seemed to function ok.
It almost seems like fuel starvation so I was thinking a bad fuel filter, but giving it full throttle seemed to help so that didn't make sense.
Also, I got an amber "wrench" symbol on the dash, which I assume maint. req.
I made it home and turned it off and restarted it and the wrench symbol was gone.
I haven't driven it again yet so not sure if it still does it.
Any ideas or common issues on the V10 that would cause this?
Thanks
