    Rough idle

    Glad you got it taken care of. BTW - the FICM is covered under the emissions warranty - ZERO deductible!

    Rough idle

    You do not want to "encourage" sticition to develop. Depending on the ambient temperature, a 5W40 would be a better oil year round. A 10W30 would be better for winter, but I am not a big fan of it for towing heavy or extreme summer heat. I would switch oils personally, but since it is under...

    Rough idle

    What oil do you use? New flash should help. Are you sure the batteries are healthy? Have you checked the FICM voltages?

    need some input....

    What are you pulling the engine for? My WOT drops the fuel pressure by about 7-8 psig. I am basically stock (only have a tuned FICM).

    rough start and running

    Find another dealership. The STC fitting (cheaper than an HPOP) on the discharge of the HPOP is a common failure point. The HPOP is not for the late '04 and up pumps..

    Sticking EGR valve

    If your EGR is repeatedly plugging up it is related to poor combustion. You most likely have one of the issues below: - extended idling or insufficient operation at temperature (as mentioned already) - bad EGR valve (Ford updated the EGR valves in 2008 or so) - old calibration (processor...

    03 f350 wont start

    If you decide to do it yourself, post up again and I can send you some links on how to do them.

    03 f350 wont start

    It isn't all that hard to do yourself (ICP and IPR). You can save most of that $3000. You are out of warranty because it is older than 5 yrs - no matter what the warranty covers or your mileage, unless you have an extended warranty.

    Why No Codes????

    I also have a tuned FICM from PHP - I like it!

    Why No Codes????

    What oil are you using? How old is it? When was your latest flash update (processors) from Ford? Some folks have seen improvement w/ a product called Rev-X. I do not usually advocate an oil additive, but quite a few people say it helped.

    Sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck.

    03 f350 wont start

    Yes. Get a second person and verify that the upper fuel filter is being filled (KOEO - do not crank). Remove the upper fuel filter and observe the fill rate while someone waits for your signal to turn the key off. Also verify that the oil reservoir is filling properly. You again need two...

    oil exchanger issue

    What all did they replace? Did they replace the EGR cooler or the EGR cooler hose?

    oil exchanger issue

    There is not an updated cooler. Ford came out w/ a core that replaces ONLY the heat exchange parts (no need to replace the frame). They did this to save everybody $$'s. The key to oil cooler reliability is proper coolant and proper coolant maintenance (flushes).

    Question Trouble Codes once again

    I mentioned the ICP just to make sure what model year the truck was (early 2004 or late 2004). Sorry for the confusion. Even if the EGR valve wasn't dirty, it could be bad. Still, the cheapest thing is to check the EBP tube for plugging and look for any wire chaffing. The EBP tube can be...

    Question Trouble Codes once again

    I assume that your truck was built after 9/23/2003? If so, the ICP sensor is on the passenger side valve cover. The EGR valve is bad or plugged (assuming you still have it). Cleaning could help or you may need a new one. Also, your EBP tube could bery well be plugged. Also, look for wire...

    Help Needed DTC Code Help!

    1. Get the truck up on some ramps or jack stands. The key here is to get the truck high enough so you can sit under it comfortably. 2. If you have 4WD, remove the drive shaft that is in your way. It's just a few bolts and is out of there in minutes...easy. Just remember to index the shaft...

    Another EGR

    Do the high idle mod and you shoud be good. I still wouldn't idle more than I had to even with the mod, but I am not afraid of idling either. Low fuel pressure is a common issue also -and it can get exensive by ruining injectors. If you have indications of combustion issues (ie carbon)...

    nearly stranded

    and it can happen quickly at that.

    Another EGR

    You should ask them why the truck is making the excess carbon. Something is causing inefficient combustion.

    Could you post or PM me the contact information on this guy?

    icp sensor location

    If your 2004 was produced after Sept 29, 2003, then it is easy .... the ICP will be on your passenger side valve cover. If not, it is below the turbo. If it is below the turbo, there are two ways to get to it. One from underneath the truck (best done if you have a lift) and the other is from...
