Still sitting pretty - ugh!

[thebiggraybeast]

Ok, so the big gray beast has been dead for a month now & I'm sick of it!!!

Dad says it's the cam position sensor .. Hubby says injector ... we just spent $550 on diagnostics & FICM rebuild. She pulls no codes ... sputters IF she starts... HELP!

Most recent start-up yielded a turn-over but no movement when in gear & throttled. I think my 3 year-old may have kicked the 4x outta whack though... lol

I need my other rig back -please if able to send ideas my way - I'd be much obliged!!!

My research found a recall on the '04 & '05 F250 Superduty 6.0's... any idea where I can find more info on it? I may be able to alleviate a ton of stress if so.


Thanks for any help out there!!!

CPS should throw a code

1 injector bad it would still start but no code

how are you trying to start? did this come on with cold weather?

 

[thebiggraybeast]

Starting just like always - wait for coil light to go off & then crank. Sometimes she turns and sometimes she doesn't.

We live in the PNW and while the temp is variable - it isn't enough to throw things out of whack weather wise. It's pretty much the same as it always has been.

things that should be checked....fuel pressure, FICM voltage(input and output), ICP pressure when cranking(needs 500 psi to start)....

what year truck? maintanance has been kept up(fuel filters, oil changes)?

FICM was repaired - was at 46.8 prior and when returned to us it was 48.2...... ICP was replaced - hubby did that a few months ago.... it's a 2004 and oil changes/maintenance kept up for the most part - needs the transmission serviced, otherwise all else is good?
Thinking everything at this point is pointing to the oil pump and fuel pressure not sure about. Not pulling any codes and dealership wasn't able to show any codes either after diagnostics. They said it was the FICM too - but evidently not after having that repaired.

dieselmann has some of the bulletins on his page.

6.0 PowerStroke Page

you might have your hubs follow dieselmann's checklists on the no start. they are pretty well documented there.

Thank you all so much for your help. I am at wit's end with this dang thing! I will have him check the page after he gets home in the morning - gotta love graveyards!

I think Alex is onto something
