1991 F-250. feul injected 460 w/c6 tranny. acts like it is missing when engine runs at 3000rpms. accelerates just fine and runs wonderfully below 2900 rpms. just when i try to plane out around 70 mph the engine starts acting like it is missing a cylinder.it will also act like that in neutral.it starts fine and idles smooth.

    i have a 1989 f-250 with a efi 460 with 5spd manual and is doing the same thing, ive checked spark, compression, injectors and all are fine( pulled a 302efi out before the 460) it seems to me like a vaccum- egr valve or fuel/air mixture-O2 sensor, let me know if you find something

    did you check cap and rotor? that would cuase this and also a weak ignition coil would also cause this as rpms go up bad coil cant keep up with demand

Hello. katienjoe. the fuel line from the filter to the fuel rail has a restrictor in the line its at the fitting at the rail. the opening messures 3/16 of a inch. so loaded it doesn't pull above 50 mph. you can change the line I did on mine the hot rod shops can supply what you need.

Ford F-250 460 engine.. Loud roaring noise under the hood when driving

Sounds like your fan blade clutch has seized up. This causes the fan to run @ engine speed @ all times. If thats not it I'll need more information

A 460 engine that acts like its not getting enough fuel. Will start but runs as if only on half the cylinders missing badly or such.

Check your running fuel pump pressure. If (as I suspect) it's too low, first try changing your fuel filter. After changing the filter, recheck the running fuel pump pressure. If still low, check you fuel pump pressure regulator. If OK, you may need a new fuel pump.

Also probably would be a good idea to replace you air filter.

Good luck!
