E350 bucking/surging/running rough

dksob81 · 12-07-2010, 01:57 PM

I am working on a 1999 Ford E350 5.4.
It has an issue with running rough (bucking/surging) when climbing a hill at around 40 mph.
constant load (not too much throttle). it will be running fine then all of a suddne start bucking/surging quickly. I haven't been able to get it to do it on 5 attempts today but the other day test drove it with the customer and it did it on key just as he said it would.
