Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Friend of mine just called me back from the diesel shop said he had to get his mind back to the Ford mindset and after talking with his co workers. One of the reasons I hate calling him is because they see the worst of the worst. They have dealerships tow stuff into them when they can't figure... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
I always have too. Ordered the 30mm crows foot for the DRV or pressure regulator on the Left rail. Should be here today. Figured I need to test it and inspect it to know for sure. I had used an air hammer to break it loose. Figured I better get the right tool to tighten it properly when I get... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Had someone tell me to just replace the suction valve, but really with all of the horror stories I have read probably time to just throw a pump on it. Seems like the RCD CPX is very popular. I need to research it some. And yes I am thankful that I don't need to do a whole system. This whole... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
I guess I need to look for a video or something. I didn't try to force it past the injector hold down, maybe a little push and it would go. Thank you. -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
It hard to diagnose over the internet. Whether it be terminology, or understanding, or just not looking at the same things everyone else does. Just like in this case. I can find one person that explained conditions that matched mine. Everything else I find they all have metal shavings. Mine is... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Well low pressure is 62 psi per maual gage. Still won't start. Rail psi not coming up. Pulled intake again. Pulled flow control valve. Still clean. Pump full of fuel. Found this. "quick tip here. The typical failure with cp4 pump is a bad valve seat on the Intake non-return valve (suction... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Tried to move the truck last night. Would not start. Now I am pissed. Was running, pulled return line to try and make my own pressure adapter. Which I failed at. Put line back on because I can't keep waiting on this stupid adapter forever with this thing in my garage. Now I can't get the... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
I was supposed to have a fuel pressure tester adapter by now but it hasn't even shipped yet. I tried to build one. Looks like the upper fitting is a 12mm found a quick connect that works on 1/2" or 12mm. It seems to snap onto the fuel filter just fine. But the Steel end, 12mm, to make the... -
Valve body
Be sure to report back what you think about the valve body. I did my own when I rebuilt the trans, sonnax parts, HD kit. I am actually not very happy with it. Shifts firmer than it should I think. took the plate down and made smaller holes to soften the shifts and still pretty rough. Been...- Tiha

Backup camera again
Now just for a comparison while I had it all apart. Between the factory camera and the cheap ebay replacement. this cheap one was Soillar brand. It is $47 off ebay. I would totally use it. You can tell there is a difference, but I am not a hard core camera user like my wife is. The cheap one...- Tiha

Backup camera again
That didn't fix my problem either. One place talked about is a junction box under the dash near the emergency brake. I wiggled everything under there with the Cam on and no change. So next I dug into the plug back by the trailer hitch. When I pulled it apart I didn't see any corrosion in...- Tiha

Backup camera again
I ordered a backup camera and it did not change at all. So I dug into it finally. Commonly talked about is the ground wire in the harness running through the tailagate. I opened up the harness and it was intact but very corroded. I cut the wire at each end and spliced in a new ground wire...- Tiha

Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
I ordered a fuel pressure gauge adapter. Be here next week. Pretty sure I am okay, But now I gotta know for sure. -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Exactly, I was hoping someone would see that and elaborate on it. That reading is taken off the high pressure rail. It is not the switch that triggers the LP alarm and puts it in limp mode. That switch is calibrated to 30K psi. So a little tolerance is understandable. Reading 42 psi on the... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
I keep thinking someone will pop in and say, hey when I hook my scanner up I show 59 psi KOEO or something like that. That 42 psi has always seemed weird to me. The low pressure switch and pressure sensor are two different things. I would think the Fuel pressure would have to affect... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Wait, I have a deleted Tune in. Wouldn't a reflash erase that? -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Might not hurt. I think I read a TSB on rough idle that said reset fuel trims. Thought about doing that one too. Not like it won't re learn. Waiting on my upgraded cold side pipe and then go drive it some. -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
To the best of my knowledge it has never been to a Ford dealer since it was driven off the lot new. I am thinking about the low pressure fuel pump again. How that can affect starting. Maybe I need to put an actual gauge on it. But honestly not too worried about it anymore. That also would... -
Extended cranking, fuel system tests.
Just because I hate unfinished threads, I fixed my coolant leak and put it back together. Still disappointed, I know something is wrong, but I guess I will drive it until something actually breaks. Bright side, at least I know the CP4 is good right? I ordered a new seal for the hot side...
