My Truck is starting to Co$t Me!
Ok, This IDM thing is getting on my nerves. I ordered a GB reman IDM.
Before ordering this part I replaced both UVCH/ gasket sets and still had a check engine showing IDM and running rough on and off, then I ohm'd all the injectors and glow plugs, And sill had check engine going on off intermittently.
I was finally changed the IDM, and I still have the same issues.
Funny enough, it actually smoothes out when the Check Engine comes on ?
Could this still be a faulty IDM or should i be doing something else. I also had the batteries out for the whole day to clear codes.
Any other suggestions as to where to look would be great.
Thanks!
PS ( Unrelated ) I also afterwards put in a 6 position chip.
OMG I can not believe a diesel can blow away a BMW on the Highway

oh oh, I am trying to keep up with the terminology :-) Im a old Gas engine guy.
I didn't know these even existed. Yes, my autoparts guy pulled codes ( vague ) mentioned IDM, but not much more.
Does the ICP need to have oil or no oil?
The CPS was replaced recently by the prior owner.
Would the ICP be intermittent and give a IDM code?
thanks for the help !!

ICP should have NO oil on it when you unplug it. Oil means it is bad. Also, if it runs better with it unplugged, usually that means the ICP is bad as well. While you're back there, look down below/beside the fuel bowl and check the wiring to the IPR as well.

Thanks for al your Help. Each time you send me abbreviations, i need to google it :-) Thats how I learn.
Ok, so as far as the ICP, Ill get a new one, Never hurts to have new.
The sound is difficult to explain, loud air like HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, then goes off.
I have learned on thing in life, NEVER borrow a buddies anything :-) Once you do, and his car stereo fails, its your fault cause you touched his IDM :-)
Snap On-OUCH !
AE, is there a Mac program? I dont even own a windows anymore. Any Idea of cost?

Does it make a wind-down sound when you let off the throttle?
Does it do it every time you get on the throttle?
I agree with the above, check the up-pipes. (They go from the manifolds to the collector behind the turbo, then into the turbo.) You are looking for a lot of soot at the ends.
As far as boots.... chances are they are very oily. Minimally you should check them for leaks/holes. Check the clamps make sure they are tight. Without a boost gauge it's difficult to determine if you have a boost leak.
There are 6 boots. 1 at the end of each inter cooler pipe, and 2 under the spider.
I have an old laptop I use JUST for AE. I paid $350 shipped for my copy of AE. It has long past paid for itself. Riffraff Diesel has them. I don't know if they work with crApple... you can check their site to find out I'm sure.
