ok guys its always something with this truck and i'm getting really tired of always having to go to the parts store buying stuff for this truck. sorry about that i'm just kinda venting a little bit...

ok on to the problem... the past week my truck has been taking a little longer to start and i thought, no big deal its starting and running just fine. but today was a MUCH different story. when i got to school this morning i was talking to someone so i turned my truck off and about a minute later i went to start my truck again and it absolutely would NOT start. i cranked and cranked on it and it never fired. so i took off my 10k mod and set the truck back to stock and tried to start again and after cranking it for around 7-8 seconds it finally started, very weakly, but started. then i check the codes with the snap on scanner we have at the auto tech shop and came up with ICP voltage not at expected level. which i figure that would have something to do with it not starting quickly. i check the HPOP level right after school and it was full. i cranked 'er over and after cranking it for about 4 seconds it started right up, rough idled for a second or 2 and then dropped back down and idled normal again. i checked for oil in the ICP and there is not even a small speck of oil in it. i can't figure out what my problem is here. any ideas guys??? im going to check the connections on the bullet terminals i have on the ICP wire for my 10k mod and see if maybe the connections are loose but i doubt they are. thanks for any help guys...

 

Are you due for an oil change ,,? Is it full? ...Try unplugging the ICP connector next time , see what happens


Maybe IPR o rings,,, Or injector o ringa at worst...

 

i checked all the simple things. i checked oil level, HPOP reservior level, fuel filter condition and fuel level in bowl. oil has about 600 miles on it. i know the truck is leaking fluid, but i haven't been able to find out where from. probably the turbo becuase there is a puddle of oil on the turbo pedistal. everything i have checked has been good. i will unplug the sensor and see what happens.

 

Did u solder(spelling??) the connections on 10k or crimp,I had the same problems until I solder them.Cold weather or moisture seems to break circuits on crimping if not real careful about doing them.

 

the truck won't start now. i put it back on the stock program and still nothing. i'm going to solder the the wire back together and no more 10k mods for me. i'm hoping that its the wire but it could be worse. its not the glowplugs b/c it won't start when the engine is hot. anything else i could check guys???? Plz help...

 

Mine did similar things found a burnt connector on VC gasket,uvc harness ,and pigtail to vcg.It was on the glow plug circuit but quickly burning toward injector wires inside connector.I replaced these items and soidered the 10k connections all is good now.

 

No start hot but will start when cold is almost always IPR o-rings. Sounds like its the case for you.

 

X2 What TJ said.

 

my truck is not running right with my 30k mod right now either...i can flip the switch and it runs just fine...

 

Thats Why I Like The Superchips 1705 Model. I Never Had A Problem At All Cold Or Hot. I Always Heard That Those Mods And Chips Dont Do Well In The Cold Weather. Go With The Superchips And You Wont Have A Lick Of Problems. Great Product Set And Go.

 

I thing you're three

 

Yes, you are right, sorry.

 

Mine was watered down a bit.....

 

Do your background work here and you will eventually change your opinion on this matter. Go TW.

 

Well, I gave Travis a spare IPR that I had, and it cured his problem. It had a torn o-ring. Thanks for the help guys.
