Hey Guys

I was on my way home last night and all of a sudden my truck lost power and the sercive engine light came on and it would only go about 30 I started to pull off the road and all of a sudden it sprang back to normal did this twice
I went this morning to start it and started fine ran for about 5 mins warming up and before I even went to put it in drive it started running rough and the light came on again I turned her off and check under the hood for anything wrong didnt see anything so I tried to start it again and now wont start

Sounds like a UVC harness problem to me.

Your best approach is to get the codes pulled with a PSD capable scan tool (on that can do an injector buzz test). You'll most likely get a P1316 and one or two P127X codes indicating an open in the injector circuits. The X in the code will indicate which cylinder the problem is in.

Alternatively, if it will start at all, is to get it running and pull one of the outer VC wiring connectors off (check the Hard/No start link in my signature). If the engine dies when you pull the connector off, then that side is probably good. If there's no effect to the way the engine is running, then you've found the bank that's causing the problem.

The best repair is to replace the UVC harness with a new one that has an improved latch design. There are also plastic shims available that stiffen up the latch on your existing harness and make it latch better. They're a stopgap repair, IMO. I'd recommend spending a bit more money on a new harness.

Wiring Harness, Injectors & glow plugs
Ford F81Z-9D930-AB ~$60-75 each
Int’l 1830844C93 ~$25 each
Retainer (Under Valve Cover Harness clips)
Ford 2C3Z-14A163-AB ~$10
Int’l 1844193C91
