Why does my Ford V10 bog down when accelerating?

I have a Ford F350 with the Ford V10 Triton under the hood. It’s been a great engine so far and provides the power I need, but recently, it feels like it bogs down when I accelerate. Why would my Ford V10 bog down when I hit the gas?

It’s almost impossible to diagnose an engine issue from afar, but the Ford V10 Triton is known to have a few issues when it comes to acceleration problems. If your Ford V10 bogs down when accelerating, one of these issues is likely:

Dirty manifold absolute pressure sensor
Clogged catalytic converter
Throttle position sensor out of whack
Dirty idle air control valve
Dirty air filter

The only way to know what’s wrong for sure is to take your car to the shop. But if you can clean a few things at your home, you may be able to save a few bucks before you spend a ton on maintenance.
