Sorry for my ignorance but I'm not used to AE as I use IDS everyday, But I'm looking at your rpm reading, which is taken off the cam sensor. From what I can see it looks like you are loosing the cam signal? Do you always have an rpm reading when cranking? Do you loose rpm signal before it dies? If it drops straight to '0' then dies that would be an indication. It would be awesome if you could scope the cam sensor as I think your problem lies there. No cam reading = no injector firing. I read back through the whole thread and realized this engine was recently re assembled and you also had to replace a cam sensor. Could possibly be the cam gear walking on the cam or wiring from the sensor to the PCM.

Let me look into this more.
Prob order a new sensor too.
I have removed the CPS wiring from its harness and run it back the entire way and it looks great no chafing or cuts.
Ohms fine too.
No CPS damage on the face.

Saying it was driving 40+ and shut off makes me wonder now. Had a friends truck do the same thing, just like you shut the key off and wouldn't start. Figure cps so put a new one in, still nothing. Put the scanner on it, no hpo pressure. Figure an o ring let loose, to happen like that. Nope, swapped ipr fired right up ran fine. First case that I've heard of an ipr going out driving down the road. Maybe you've tried that, I didn't read back thru.

Have not tried IPR yet.

They "built" his motor and it ran for about a week. Freeze plugs not installed. Cam gear was ordered to be welded on, was not. Had his cam gear walking around killing the truck. In other words, it looked like a drunk toddler assembled his motor.

Cps doesn't have to look damaged. Goes bad internally.

that is spot on... plus wasn't balanced, main bearing and cam bores where slightly out of round... typically, everything was the machine shops fault though.. not his
converter bolts basically fell out due to not being properly tightened and basically trashed a slightly new flex plate and had to overnight a converter from BTS cuz one hole was trashed, almost 2qts over full of oil when i picked it up.. hose not tight and coolant leaking everywhere...

says i rushed him and he had it for 8 months.......

odd thing is that when it ran good, it was extremely smooth.. only thing i can think of is that the fluidamper worked extremely well...

7k + into that build to run it for a few months when other issues popped up so i said *** it and bought the 6.7....

just about another 8k in this build from midwest but it has r&r rods now.. that was the expensive part..

That sucks dude....hopefully someday you can enjoy it. Even if its just to go get a bite or get to your favorite fishing hole.

Mine has given me plenty of issues too but I just clear my head and dig in when I have time.

Did you only crank the truck for a couple of seconds?

V-Ref · Aug 1, 2016

That was the point in my original post too...the engine rpm column makes it appear it popped off and stopped cranking the motor.

Looking at it again and seeing IPR DC and fuel volume drop I think you guys are right, it looks like it wasn't cranking anymore.

after 15 pages...I assumed someone would have noticed 0 rpm...

until you get rpm...the PCM isn't going to command any IPR duty cycle...

(ProTip: because it doesn't think you are even cranking...)

Can you post a log of just cranking the truck over and what ICP/IPR DC% are doing.

Aluminum shavings interfering with IPR and/or HPO? Is there enough LPO to supply your HPO?

CPS not giving a consistent RPM signal to PCM? Faulty sensor or cam gear?

IDM faulty? Should be throwing a code, but faulty electronics don't always tell on themselves like they should.

PCM faulty? Same as above.

Those are my four stabs from what's been shared in this thread thus far.

Hope to see a video posted of your truck running great in this thread, sooner vs later.

Here is the data log pic of the two vids below.

Both vids taken same time with two phones.
You can hear my starter hang up the first two attempted cranks.
It's a new gear reduction SD starter.

Oil system was flushed 5 times while truck was running before removing injectors to go to PIS.
Definitely has lpo.
CPS is giving signal when cranking no doubt.
IDM is a fresh reman.
PCM is new within a few years but the truck has been in a garage for the last 5 yrs while I was on the road so who knows.
And thank you I hope to have it on the road asap!
