still looking for help

stroker24 · Mar 29, 2012

well i still havent got my truck to the garage. didnt have the time. so i just set it aside till now. went out tonight and tried starting it. first it would crank and pop like it wanted to start. and blowing black smoke. finally after like 5 tries it fired up. and after it fired up it would run a high idle. any ideas?

So what are the symptons/problems?

stroker24 · Mar 29, 2012

it dont idle right either. the idle goes up and dont. almost seems to have a slight miss. i cant get into the garage till thursday next week. thought maybe i could possibly get it fixed before then. im wondering if its the ipr.

The easiest way to see what's going on is to check for trouble codes and watch live data of icp pressure, ipr duty cycle, film voltage and do a buzz test. Do you have access to a scanner?

stroker24 · Mar 30, 2012

No i dont. I dont know anyone with one. I have an appt for a garage. But not till the end of next week. Thought maybe i could get it possibly figured out before then. Where could i get one?

Sounds like a FICM voltage problem to me.

stroker24 · Apr 2, 2012

I'll have to check it.

I would say FICM issue as well. Sounded like what mine did when my FICM went.

stroker24 · Apr 5, 2012

Well its at the garage. Hopefully its not there a long time.

stroker24 · Apr 9, 2012

Can the ficm be bad and not give any codes? I havent heard from the garage. Hopefully tomorrow.

Yes.

stroker24 · Apr 10, 2012

Well just got word from the garage. 2 injectors bad. 3 and 8 cylinder. the ficm is bad. and they glow plugs arent working right. think cause the intake's sucking oil out of the ccv. time for the ccv mod. find out tomorrow what the estimate will be on all the work. probably just do it myself. so ill probably be looking for some injectors and a ficm. any sponsors that can help me out just pm me on some prices on injectors and ficm. thanks.

stroker24 · Apr 20, 2012

So with the ficm bad. The 2 injectors codes means theyre bad. Or is it just because the ficm is bad?

change the ficm.... then check the injectors out...

Lubbockguy1979 · Apr 20, 2012

From what I recall the #8 injector can show bad and not be. Nature of the beast

Think of it as if your radio was acting up.........its going to affect the speakers too. So before you mess with the speakers, change out the radio first and see where that gets you, but of course in this case we are talking about the FICM
