Agree or No????

So how Come we all see Low ICP when theres a HPO Problem The PCM wouldnt Desire a Low/Bad ICP Number



IDK how the graph even works All the Values are Diffrent one is in Volts another is in PSI they would have to be converted to the same common denominator for graph to mean anything maybe it does and I cant see it IDK
I'm not exactly sure how the PCM is interpreting different values to get ICP "desired".

It seems on other forums, until DashBoss figured it out, that if you wanted to calculate ICP actual from ICP volts you either used Ford IDS, AE or hand calculated the numbers. Scangauge, Edge and nobody else was never offered as a solution to that.

Now ICP desired and ICP actual are fairly close on a stock truck. Once a custom tune is loaded ICP desired is fubar'd.

Yes under turbo the fun one

as far as parts just depends what you find

The HPO setup you have has very few problems with leaks

If you end up in valve covers would be good to Rering all injectors You will need to get them from Alaint power these oring kit are the only ones that come with the Top Inject Oring where the HPO Rail goes into the Inject

Ford dont have that particular top oring in there kits they want to sell you a neew injector

Before tearing into your truck you should get a gauge. SG2 works well. You will need to take some time and program in the x-gauges. Then you can take some readings and post back.

so i finally came up with a code this morning P 2285 injector control pressure sensor circuit low.sounds like you guys are on track with everything you've told me so far. i still have'nt got an SG2 yet, the kids come first, you know how that goes. i have a nice sidejob lined up that should pay for the guage and parts. thanks again guys, i'll keep you up to date.

Depends on how you treat them. They SHOULD last 250k miles or more. MANY pepole do not get anywhere near that from theirs.

i think i've treated them pretty good with fresh motrocraft oil every 5k miles, +-500 miles, and new fuel filters every 15k miles. i use diesel kleen and i've never ran it out of fuel. is there anything else i can do to treat them right?
