ok my 1996 has 256k on her and ive had stage 2's from jim for about 20k miles. had an sputtering issue a month back. come to find out the fuel oring on injector #8 blew. fixed it and shes been running fine for about 1k miles.
now the truck is doing the same thing again.
my fear is that it blew again. if it did...what would cause this to happen?

Where did you get the orings from ?

 

ford dealer.....
maybe im wrong with the oring issue.
my truck will start to sputter when the oil temp heats up.
no power at all. its a 5 speed and it can just about make it up a slight incline.
no CEL

 

That kinda sounds like a HPO issue.
Do you have a way to see ICP psi and IPR % ?

 

Yeah iirc the ipr o-ring can be bad but only symptoms show when the oil is warmed up.

Someone should confirm/deny that for me.

 

Confirmed Mr. Alex!

 

so a good scanner can get that info? ICP psi & IPR%

 

Yes, my aeroforce scan gauge will, plus a lot of other things.

 

another stupid question.....does the truck have to be running to get those readings?

 

yes.......

 

so the symptoms that im having...can it be a bad IDM.
an IDM code came up.

 

Swap idm in from your other truck

 

ok. i took the IDM out of my 97 and still the same issue.
ok i do have info for you guys that may help.
now the truck is having starting issues.
i have eletric fuel and the gauge was reading 30psi and 60psi for my truck is normal.
before the truck shut down on me i was under the hood and i was reading 30psi while running and while off.
i have a youtube video ill put up in a bit to let you all check out.
filters are new.

 

You should have 70psi all the time. Your pump is going bad or you have a leak.

 

ok i purchased the truck already with this setup. if it is the pump...how do i find or know what kind of system i have?
