be caused by the Idle Validation Switch (IVS) contacts not properly closing due to interference of contacts with the switch housing.

Remove and install a revised accelerator pedal assembly which includes IVS. Refer to the appropriate year 7.3L Turbo Diesel Service Manual
Supplement, Pages 10-02-2 and 10-02-3, for service procedures.
