I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the help over the years. My truck has been running great till about 2 weeks ago. I actually havent had to ask a question in forever, but i cant seem to find the answer to this by searching, so here it is. I know the o rings have gone bad on the IPR given some of past symptoms, but can the bad orings just turn a truck off?? I have had no running issues, just cranking issues. After the oil warms up, if i cut it off, it will not crank for hours. No smoke, tack moves, turns over real fast, then after a while and when it is good and cool, fires right up. Runs like a beast....untill about 2 hours ago I was going about 40, and it just turned off. All fuses look good, tack is still moving, wait to start comes on, has fuel, but just wont crank. So now i dont know if it is because of the IPR or if its some problem combined with the IPR. I have the oring kit, but i am waiting on my buddy to tack weld that fancy homemade socket/wrench for me. Is it even possible for the bad orings to cut the truck off? Or do you guys think maybe it is actually a bad sensor, or ... I am out of ideas, any suggestions??
Thanks again

 

Check the wires where they go into the IPR connector, they can wear off the insulation, and cross. This will cause dying/no start.

 

bad orings will become noticable when the truck gets fully warm and the oil can leak by and drop pressure. so it will be more of a stutter and stall kind of deal.
try new orings from riffraff, super fast shipping and its better to try and save it than buy a new one like i just did. mine actually died and 284$ later she runs mint again.

 

Put a socket on the IPR & use a pair of vice grips on the socket . I bet the O Ring is gone ...You may even have a no start cold now ..The IPR is a cheap test . It may still be an injector O ring..(not so cheap)..

 

My IPR stuck when I was on a bridge and lucky I rolled off. My spare saved the day. Of course I checked a hundred different things first.

 

thanks for the help. I was able to finally get the dang thing off, and when the 1 1/8 nut came out, the internal part was left in the hole. It didnt come out in one piece. It wasnt broken, but the small piece that looks like it threads into the nut part, was unthreaded. Also all of the orings were craked and splitting open. Now my question is, is it ok for the sensor to come out in two peices? I had seen a blown up pic of a disassembled IPR before, but after searching i cant seem to find it again. What do you guys think?

Side note, i took the fpr off and loosened the fuel filter to have more room. And when i checked the small filter mounted on the bottom of the FPR, it was almost half filled (the small filter not the cup itself) with gunk and what looked almost like pieces of plastic. Is that normal. It actually has me a little worried, it looks a lot like the boats i work on that have been running the 10% ethanol gas, that just eats the old fuel lines. Any ideas?

 

Unless you can find all the parts you will need a new one. Id be concerned about parts being left in there anyway ...I'll look for the pick of the small parts too ..

 

I must not have the other pic on my computer at home . I think William has it(Talyn)

 

It looks like the smaller threaded piece just came unscrewed somehow. the really small pin is still there, and since the sleeve with the other small pieces are there, should i try putting it back in?

 

If you have all the parts ...couldn't find the pic on this puter ..

A new O ring & try it ...

 

Here ya go ...

 

Rick I think there another piece missing in that pic:

 

Cool ...do you know what year that is from?

 

This is where I found the pic ...IPR Repair for Ford Powerstroke 7.3

 

No I dont. Maybe you are asking for "with filter and no filter edge" right?

The pic I posted its in the same link.
