    Please Help diagnose my 5.0

    May be worth your effort to replace the fuel filter. Drain the contents into a clear container and see if there is any large debrix that may be clogging it. Unlikely this could be your main problem but will give you an idea of what exactly your fuel pump is picking up out of the tank.

    well the other reason i fing it to be the pcm other than the fact that i have checked or replaced everything involving the ignition except the pcm and wiring, is that it almost seems to be hitting a rev limitor in some ways. It seems like it is bouncing off this particular high rpm and causes it...
