Hey guys! I have a 97 psd and i had a guy replace my oil pan for $900. When I went to pick up the truck the bill was $1500 he said he had to replce the two fuel lines in the front of the engine and replaced 2 trans lines plus a brake line. Well had no choice but to pay this crook. I drove the truck home and it ran fine, I started it up the next day end my engine light came on and was running like ****. I called the guy up and took it back he finally got the engine light on and said that it had a code 1211 and said that was a big code. Could have something been knocked around from pulling the engine out?

 

Take a look at the wiring on the engine around the fuel bowl(IPR ,ICP ) mke sure everything is plugged in & clean,,, check the oil level also....What kind & weight oil did they put in?....

 

Carquest 15w-40

 

Well I got the truck back and he thinks it might be a IPR or Lift pump. Any suggestions?

 

Check the ICP sensor,, make sure the connection is clean & there is no oil leaking from it....Check the connections to the valve covers also,,,,,

 

did he clear the codes and see if it came back?

 

it could have been set when the engine was started dry.

 

I would take the truck and run! he stole from you once! don't let him do it again! BTW I would not have paid the first bill. Shops are required to get approval before doing more repairs even if they are part of an approved job! did you apy by credit card by chance?

 

Well, from my newly aquired "Non-generic Ford Code List it is:

1211 (2) ICP Pressure Above/Below Desired Level-Faulty IPR Valve.

1211 (1) (3) ICP Pressure uncontrollable, Pressure Above/Below desired Level.

Hope this helps.

Is oil and fuel quality OK?

 

i still say clear it and drive it for a bit to see if it comes back, thats almost normal for an oil system repair

 

Ok tx Guys I will clear it and drive it I will let you know. Yes fuel and oil quality is fine. again tx

 

ok I cleared the codes it came back on. and when it started I heard like a lifter taping in the rear of the engine.Also now i have fuel leaking underneath by the starter.It was 27 degrees out and when the truck warmed up the taping noise has quit.I shut it off and started it again and no code.Then I shut it off waited a couple of hours and started it up again and the light cam back on. now what do you think!
