1997 Ford F-250 stalling issue?
My 1997 Ford F-250 auto 4x4 drops rpms when i put it in reverse or drive from the park position on the gear selector. Once i am driving it doesnt do it at stop lights or signs, only when first put into gear from park to either drive or reverse. It also does it when put from drive to reverse. If i dont give it gas it will stall. Also the check engine light will sometimes go on then shut off after a while of driving.

if it is a diesel which it probably is then it might not have warmed up fully when you started to drive it because as the engine sits the diesel fuel gels up into almost a sludge like compound and the glow plugs may or may not have brought it back to a liquid state by that point in time the diesel only gels up because it is a partial alcoholic and petroleum based fuel source so the diesel that is in the cylinders is taking up space when the other diesel that has been heated goes in it will liquefy it enough to allow it to combust due to the compression in the cylinders.
