Powerbroke strikes again.

sounds like you have multiple problems, might want to start with pulling the fuel filter and see if garbage is built up around the fuel heater causing it to blow fuse #30 under the dash?

It is blowing #30 everytime I turn the key on.

Unplug your fuel bowl heater.

prolly needs a fuel filter and fuel heater removed

 

[e99coalbaron]

Okay, thank you for the help.

 

[e99coalbaron]

The no start was a broken wire going to the GPR. Now it fires and idles fine, but when you drop it in gear it falls on its face and runs like crap. And you can put your hand on the #2 & 4 cylinders after its ran for some time and not get burnt. Wtf

 

[POWER-STRUCK]

drivers side under valve cover harness prolly disconnected

 

[e99coalbaron]

Everything was connected fine..

 

[mandkole]

The harness is likely burnt/damaged under the valve cover. Failed glow plugs can put enough resistance in the line to kill the plug. You'll find it...

 

[e99coalbaron]

We used a test light in the harness and it seems to check out.

On a side not, we tested the plugs on the harness and the only ones that lit were the glow plugs and the one right in the middle. I assume its a ground. is it supposed to do that?

 

[e99coalbaron]

Not to mention both harnesses are new.

 

[Arisley]

Use an Ohm meter, not a test light. If the UVCH's are new, ohm out the connectors from one side of the valve cover gasket to the other.

 

[e99coalbaron]

My mistake. My dad did use an ohm meter. He used a test light on the plug. He said it was all good.

Someone mentioned that it may be a blown head gasket, but I see no signs of one. I'm so lost with this truck.

 

[POWER-STRUCK]

don't jump to conclusions, if ya give us the raw precise data that we ask for then we may be able to diag it for you. but remember give exact readings and don't skip steps.

 

[e99coalbaron]

It was stiction. A quart of hot shot and she purred like a kitten. Thank you guys for all the quick responses!

 

[TyCorr]

What? In a 7.3....

 

[e99coalbaron]

Thats what I said. But it fixed it .

 

[Big Angry Hillbilly]

All HEUI engines are susceptible to stiction.

Most of our big trucks at work have it. Big internationals. 466's And the like.

 

[TyCorr]

Ive never even heard anyone mention that in a 7-3 in three.or four years, lol.

 

[e99coalbaron]

Okay so the Hot Shot only lasted a few days..

If I were to swap injectors froma 2000 to my E99 can I still run my chip, or do I need to pull it and have it changed for the different injectors?
