Was driving to work today. Went to accelerate and once the turbos started to spool the cel started flashing. Engine started shaking slightly and sputtering. Pulled over. Turned truck off. Waited a min. Turned it back on cel was off. Started to drive. As soon as turbos started to spool engine did the same thing. It like dogs down when I step on the gas.

Sounds like you have bad injectors or they just need some treatment. If I were you put some injector cleaner in your gas take and give it a few days.

What vehicle is this? EcoBoost? Do NOT put injector cleaner in that engine. I assume you still have a warranty, so call your dealer!

If the problem only occurs while the turbos are spooling you may have a power output issue. Could be in regards to an oil leak from the turbo

I was thinking it was a super duty but if it's the Eco boost then idk
