Truck has been running fine. 129,000 miles, 1999 F250, 7.3, 6-speed.

Started truck to go about 100 yards to pick up my laundry. Started fine, then became unresponsive to throttle, then started lopey/knocking idle than died.

Will not restart and run. Will kick over, but then immediately cut out.

No SES light. No codes that are popping on my cheap code reader.
Fuel pump is running, I can feel it hum when I put my hand on it. When I turn the water drain valve, I get a healthy stream of fuel.

I put a known good CPS in it just as a hunch. Nothing. Just turns over, may start and run for 1-2 seconds, then die.

Will not stay running. Checked relays/fuses, no popped fuses. Played "musical relays" just to see if that would get it.

I'm out of ideas. My "Childrens" (CHILTONs) manual is not helping much either.

Truck is stock, save a straight pipe in place of muffler.

My vote is there is a short in the wiring harness under the drivers side or passengers side valve cover. My truck did the same thing at about the same mileage....

Was yours a no start?...

Are you talking the harness on the other side of the valve cover plug that branches out to the injectors/plugs?

Where did it short? Just a thing I can check while I am waiting for the AE kit to come.

Also going to do the rail oil pressure checks if I can get the proper fitting.

What is the "common name" of the type of fitting that goes into the oil ports in the head? And would NAPA have that type of fitting?
 
#32 ·
No. Fuel pump is putting out 50psi, so that's apparently not it.

Was going to check the HPOP output pressure today, but nobody here that is open on the weekend has the #5 ORB adapters to hook a pressure gauge up, nor to buy a pressure gauge.

Here are the pics of the fuel pressure tester I made.

Funny, the box next to the quick reply says "UBB CODE ENABLED"..

Do you're dash light function normally? I had a short in the main engine wiring harness that would cause my 02 to stall or not start. If I turned the key on the WTS light would come on but not go off. When the truck was running the WTS & water in fuel light would either flash when the truck hesitated (short to ground caused the PCM to reset) or died. This condition did not throw any codes.

Just found something today.

The dealer, when they had the truck in for repairs after an accident, put 2 new batteries in it. (and charged me for it)

Pulling the intake open to clean it, what do I see?

Original battery. With a buckled case. The top was cleaned up real nice, but still had 3/99 dates on the side.

Gives good voltage, but fails a load test.

Picking up new batteries as soon as I can get a ride to Walmart.
 
#38 ·
Sounds similar to what I had in the spring. Ended up being the IDM I believe it was. Anyways it powers the injectors. I guess the left four injectors were Not working. Originally thought it was CPS so they threw that on there too. Hopefully it's just your batteries though.
 
#39 ·
Just for a sticker shock thing,

How much is an IDM or HPOP?

I should be able to rule out the HPOP when I put new batteries in, and get my pressure adapter hooked up.

Ok, latest rounds of tests:

2 new 850 CCA batteries, terminals cleaned.
HP Oil Rail pressure gauge rigged into left bank.
Fuel Pressure rigged into fuel bowl.

Key ON- Fuel Press to 60 PSI for 20 seconds. Relay clicks, then pressure slowly drops. I can hear fuel flowing in the return line (3 O clock when looking at it from front).

All connections normal:
Cranks at 400 rpm, cackles and bucks, starts for 2-3 seconds then shuts down. Only starts on 1st cold attempt. Subsequent starts only cackle and bucks.
Oil pressure at 1500+ PSI within 2-3 seconds, then jumps from 1500-3000 as the truck tries to start. No noted smoke out pipe.

ICP Sensor disconnected:
Same as normal

IPR solenoid disconnected:
Truck cranks at 350 rpm. No bucking, cackling. No signs of start.
HP Oil pressure steady at 200psi after 2-3 seconds.
 
#41 ·
I also did a Max HPOP output test..

Pull IDM relay. All other connections/relays in place.

Crank engine.
HPOP oil pressure rises smoothly to 3800, then smoothly decreases to 2500 then holds stable at 2500.

Should I be able to rule out HPOP failure or HP Oil Rail leaks now?
 
#42 ·
Besides waiting for my scanner to get here, anything else I can do?
 
#43 ·
Ok, got my AE scanner.

Codes in computer
P0470 (ex Press sensor)
P1278 (#8 hi to low side open)
P1280 (wrote code down, but cant look it up_
P1316 KAM (or IDM)
P1670 IDM (or KAM)

Clear codes, attempt start
Got some white smoke it tried to start but could not.
IPR DC% was 14.84 KOEO
During start 35-55

ICP was 1400 within 2 seconds and held in the 1400-2700 range during entire start attempt. Checked with mechanical gauge as well.

Performed KOEO test.
P0470
P1278

Performed Buzz Test
P1278, and #8 sounded "weak"

The P0470 code for EPB Sensor is the only code in the computer.

What the heck is wrong with the truck? Is that one injector keeping it from starting?
 
#44 ·
EBP is showing 20psi if that helps.
 
#45 ·
Sittting KOEO for the test for about 25 min, my alternator is hot to the touch. Is that normal?
 
#46 ·
Heres one,,,Hold on tight.....

Sorry about cloging up the hard drive....

1278 is calling to replace injector (harness 0 ohms resistance, injector via harness OL (infiinite resistance))

ICP tests check OK

I'm trying to understand.. 1 bad injector, whole truck dies?

During the testing that you did with the guage before you got the A E, did you isolate the rail pressures indicidually..?
