Why Would That Not Be Under Warranty?

Your truck should still be under warranty. Have you changed fuel filters lately? Gelled fuel is one problem, a P2290 injection low pressure has nothing to do with fuel, sub temps ( unless you live in Alaska ) the truck does not have to be plugged in to start. In cold weather it is nice to plug the truck in for an easy start, once warm and within operating conditions, a no start is usually the high pressure pump connection. In my opinion with out seeing the truck and because of an early build 06 your HP pump snap to connect fitting is leaking.

Here is a link to the 2003 6.0L Bible (Click Here) that you can look over. The HP pump is in the same position on your 06, updates have been made through the model years.
TSB 06-14-6 Applies to the HP branch tube or snap to connect fitting. A technician has the tools to properly diagnose the engine. To speculate as we have here and start disassembling the truck is not the way to go. I have given you an idea as to what might be wrong.

TSB 06-17-6 supersedes TSB 06-14-6 to update the service procedure

I am having almost exactly same problem as Jet - I took my truck to the dealer and said that there was no problem they could find and that the codes I gave them were of no use p2614 & p2617 Crank and Cam position sensor open circuit. I took the truck back put a bout another 800 miles and now the same thing.

The dealer said they did a fuel pressure test and that was OK even though the truck still acts like it wants to stall but doesn't. There are no codes coming up. If I try WOT it will cut out hard or even 1/2 throttle but if I go nice and easy it will speed up but seems to lack alot of power. ( I would like to say it does this all the time but it doesn't)

It is going to the dealer in the AM and I would like to give them a clue as they are scratching there heads at this point. Trial and error on my $$ is not fun even though they are pretty good to me.

I iwll mention the high pressure pump? but, Is it a clogged fuel line? Stuff in the tank? is there a lift pump in the tank?

sorry for the long post

Hey guys. I have an 05' F-350 6.0L PSD (stock) @ 60,000. Took it into the Ford dealership yesterday for an oil change and diagnostic evaluation( they mentioned a trouble tag associated with the injecter's as well). Previous problems had been extended cranking with no start the first few times with an eventual start. Changed out the battery before Chistmas and everything seemed fine,, until the oil change yesterday (fluke)... Driving home from the dealership and sudden lose of power with sluggish throttle and then the wait of shame... Towed back to the dealership. HPOP baby. Loss of pressure disables the injectors. Formby Ford in Dracono is on the job and those guys are taking care of it. After all this is complete, I'll write to give the specific's.

Just dropped my truck at my local dealer. Let's all keep this post alive, hopefully with a resolve.

[pparker]

Sure will. I am fortunate that the dealership already had a idea when I brought it back. They have had it for the day and I would expect them to have it tomorrow as well. Have faith gentlemen, all roads have their setbacks and problems. I'd rather be broke down with my Ford to wherever I'm going than anything else.

What you describe (sensor codes) could be wire connection related to the engine harness. Intermittent power, I would look toward the turbo, VGT control valve and EGR. That is under the assumption the oil, fuel filters and ect have been ruled out.

[Green_Monster]

oil and fuel filters have less than 3k on them, I notified my dealer of the tsb regarding the wire harness chafing. They said they will check it out as well but I am going to mention the HPOP as well

thanks Max

More Great Info!

[Green_Monster]

the icp sensor was replaced 1 year ago by the dealer under warranty and teh egr valve has less than 15K on it as well. I had the turbo mess up before and this is a much different type of power losss than something like vanes sticking or unison ring problem. I do agree that it seems electrical but with these over sensored over thought monsters the KISS principle is out the window

Its at the dealer now I will update as soon as I get any info

[newera]

03 and up 6.0l need 400psi oil press to start 04 and up have a large problem with hpop tube breaking their is an updated tube always check icp first most cases will have 200 to 230 psi on no start this will also cause long start and loss of power the 2003 is a beast of its own

Just got my truck back from the dealership. All they did was secure the HPOP line with a simple bracket. They have the paper work with the specifics which they will send me in a week. Truck starts like it should. Hope that this is the last of it. Will keep all up-dated.

[jetmagnum]

Here is a question. If it is the HPOP tube should it be replaced or just fixed with this "bracket"
