Thanks. I'm still learning.

 

*Fully Charged Batteries
*Block heater on for 3+ hours
*Scanned:
P0344 CMP Sensor Circuit Intermittent
P0603 Internal Control Module KAM Error
P1280 ICP Circuit Out of Range Low
*GPR checked OK
*Drained Fuel Filter
*Removed Fuel Filter (booger to get off) Tried a 1/2" drive; no go. Took a pair of huge pliers; inserted the grip part vertically; held handles w/one hand; other hand put a long screwdriver horizonally between the grips & slowly twisted it off (caution: wear gloves so you won't bust your knuckles)
*Added Diesel Kleen & replaced fuel filter
*Disconnected ICP & blew out oil with air (plug & sensor)
*Tried to start, no start, disconnected ICP; Started up; ran rough
*Replugged ICP
*Put in 4X4 range; Low & drove it for 45 minutes on my farm
3200 RPM was the max out; seems to be running on about 4-6 cylinders
*Placed in 2WD; 20MPH was all I could get across my field; more distance would have gotten 30MPH
*Shut it down: tried a restart, chug a lug; no start.
*Disconnected ICP: slow start, but restarted 3 more times

Proposed future format: will learn more about the P0344 CMP sensor & the P1280 ICP; see if I can purchase those from a recycled place & proceed.

Am I wasting my time on recycled parts?

PS You guys have been great; would have taken me forever to find all this info otherwise.

I think I remember reading the P0344 CMP code can come from extended cranking. May want to pull the ipr like rick mentioned too..

 

Did I read there was oil in the ICP connection?

 

Is the starter and batteries strong to spin it over fast?

 

Oil was in the ICP: batteries were fully charged; was getting around 200RPM while cranking. I will look at the IPR; that is when I find it. It's located on the lower part of HPOP (driver's side?) HPOP is large rectangular piece to the right of alternator?

That's right, in the front of the motor, in the center and to the right of the alternator. A little hexagon screw on top.

 

If there was oil in the icp you just as well replace that first..

 

Hex Screw: is this the oil fill area; if so; what type oil; is this a hydraulic type pump?

Sorry if I sound ignorant; but I am LOL

I plan to find Cam Sensor; ICP; IFR & see if I can buy all 3 for a decent price at a recycled place.

Just engine oil in the hpop resevoir

You for sure want to get a new cam sensor, not used. 25 bucks new. Go to ford or IH for that part for sure.

 

Whether or not the ICP is the problem , if it is leaking oil it need to be replaced

..Between here & PSN there are 3-4 posts pointing to the IPR ....

 

Will do that: plan to spend a little time on it this weekend if weather permits.

Thanks Rick, will get an ICP

 

Couldn't attach in PM . So I'll post these here ...


This one is without the filter

 

Thanks for the pics Rick; HMMM that rhymes!!

Update: removed hex screw in HPOP; oil level about 1 1/4" down, so that should be good.

Will try to buy an IPR & install this weekend
