My IPR stuck once and killed my engine rolling across a long bridge. I had just enough momentum to roll of the bridge.

 

that's what mine did except it happened in front of my house with my jeep on the trailer...

 

Found one of the big fuses blown. Replaced it. Smoke comes from tailpipe after a few seconds of turning over but still no start. Any ideas?

 

Found a blown fuse under the good, replaced it and my tach and speedo came back on but no start still

 

Which fuse was blown?

 

The CPS you installed is OEM Ford or aftermaket?

 

The 20amp furthest from the fender

It was from autozone

 

That's the PCM fuse. Check to see if it's blown again. If so, disconnect the fuel filter heater (bottom left on the fuel bowl, single red/green wire flat terminal) and replace fuse again.

Try a Ford or International part. FLAPS CPS are known to fail.

 

it was not blown again. I guess I'll try to track down another CPS and see if that's what it is

 

Finally got a fuel pressure gauge on it. 60psi jumping the wire to starter

 

If you're getting smoke while cranking now, it's a pretty safe bet the CPS is working. The PCM won't send a fuel delivery command signal to the IDM without seeing 100 RPMs of cranking speed. If the CPS is faulty, the PCM won't see a tach signal. If you have a spare one, it wouldn't hurt to throw it in, but a scan tool would probably be a better investment than a new CPS at this point.

 

X2.

 

Do y'all have a suggestion for a cheap yet good scan tool?

 

I have this:

Aeroforce Technology Inc | Welcome

But the AE scan is known to be better or more complete (you need a PC) , or a snap on (MT2500) with the Ford PSD bundle.

 

None of 'em are cheap. Choice depends primarily on what "format" you want -
* Dash gauge - Aeroforce (see above)
* "Hand held" scanner - Snap-On MT2500, with the K2a key and the right cable(s)
* Software on laptop/tablet/netbook - AutoEnginuity with Ford Enhanced bundle
