I got a 1995 powerstroke and I believe my HPOP is going bad my truck will not start when it reaches operating temp. other than that when its cold it fires right up .....what are really good stock HPOP that I could buy and what year ranges could I work with ...any ideas?

 

Before you start throwing parts at it, you need to put it on a scanner and get some readings.

Sounds more like a CPS issue to me without further diagnosis

 

it cant be the cps.... I just replaced it with the Navistar oem cps ....I thought you cant run a scanner on a cps from what I was told

 

you probably don't want my help after the lengthy thread but you need to check your oil pressure out of the pump it self and new parts mean nothing even if your not shopping from the zone or like places oe parts still fail. did you ever manage to check the oil. if you cant get a scanner that will tell you icp during cranking and things of the like then you need to eliminate things by doing the tests you can.

 

Lest see. New parts fail, all the time.

The navastar or Ford ones are the best one, but they still fail.

You heard WRONG, you can use a scanner, you just can't use a cheap POS like the ones from auto zone and the such. You need a snap on, mac, cornwell, etc

 

I got the cps from the international store....it was the black one. Isn't the reflashed one grey???

 

well a while ago as you know I took it to a mechanic to figure it out and such cause I don t have the time for it...and he started to blow off steam saying that my damn oil pick up line dropped into the oil pan and said my low oil pressure pump was bad...he never mentioned it the HPOP or CPS and another thing he said that "supposedly" that I was getting 7psi on some kinda pump he never told me what it was

 

if your pickup were cracked you may be able to way over fill the engine with oil and see how it runs for a short period of time then of course drain the oil and refill. are you on an incline when the truck wont start.

 

Reflashed one? You can not reprogram a CPS. It is a hard part

 

does it make any smoke at all during cranking. what does your check engine light do when you hit start.

 

it sits on a pretty flat driveway .....it smokes black when its cold once it fires up and no check engine light comes on

 

well you know how ford had that recall on the powerstrokes cps going bad ... well the recalled ones are grey Google Image Result for http://puredieselpower.com/images/detailed/23/grey_cpscut.jpg
and I had got the black one could that be the problem

 

Put it on a scanner like I said and quit throwing parts at it!!!

 

ok ill check back in with you about it when I get to it

 

ok I fixed it, it turned out to be a loose battery cable ... but it still should have started when it was at operating temp. ......that's the thing that makes me scratch my head
