Help please. I was a fairly good wrench at one time, doing full rebuilds, race motors, tuning, blowers, nitrous etc but that was long ago. Now I work on automotive stuff when I have to. I am new to diesels. I have a 2002 F250 7.3L with a crank, no start. It tries to start and feels like a 4 cylinder if it does.
I just bought FORScan and am trying to set that up, it’s very confusing so far. I was able to do a buzz test with it. During the buzz test cylinders 2,4,6,8 sound crisp as expected and cylinders 1,3,5,7 sound weak and muted while showing codes 1271, 1273, 1275, 1277, 1293
Just for good measure but I think it unrelated, ICP pigtail was wet with oil so I installed new Ford OEM ICP and threw in a new Ford OEM CPS as well.
Thanks for any input, I appreciate all the knowledge on this forum.
