Asked on November 16, 2011

My 99 F350 PowerStroke is running rough on mornings.

Starts fine and after just a few minutes on the road it starts to lose power like its running out of fuel. The accelarator does nothing and then it cuts off and is hard to start back up. Acts like no fuel. Smokes heavy and engine knocks after restart. After engine warms up it seems fine. Replaced fuel filter and cam sensor.

You should check the fuel pressure and pump restiction.
I am providing you with the procedure and specs.
Please note footnote on fuel pressure spec chart as they denote test location.
