need a little input

ok well i believe i found the source of my BS with my truck. if any one remembers, i have that cutting out issue thats been driving me up a wall. well, my NEW ipr is doing the same thing my last one did. set a check engine light and it raises icp and i have full throttle again and MAN are these 100% nozzles fun! but it sounds like crap so i dont like to get on it or drive it for that matter.. since im killing ipr's left and right i have reason to believe i have a wiring issue/semi short??? i pulled apart the first harness which goes to my old fuel bowl and what not. the wires are gross but not burnt or anything.

SO i was wondering if any one had any pointers where to start to look or what where i can start to trace wires or where the wires go. ANYTHING to just to get me going so im not going in guns blazing with no plan lmao

yeah i believe it was around 180+- at full temp. its not a sensor. ive swapped every thing, logged everything, tried many different chips. all yield the same results. im killing ipr's and i cant kill my new one before it goes it. doubt ford will warranty a second one lol

This is why I asked if you monitored it while driving . I saved this from TDS a few years ago . When it "bucked" , it was trying to stall

:
will try to give you the abbreviated story - sorry its so long. I finally got my truck fixed last week. The problem that I had, was when the truck was up to operating temperature the engine sometimes would start to buck, it would come and go. I took it into the shop about 3 weeks ago, and the CPS and Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor codes came up. The tech replaced the CPS and sent me on my way. (he did not believe the EBPS had anything to do with my problem). I called back a couple of days later because it was still doing the same thing. I took it back in he checked the codes and again the EBPS code was back in, and he still did not believe that was the problem. We went for a test drive and he could start to feel the miss or bucking. I drove back to the shop while he played with the computer and he noticed the fuel pulse was a little weird, then he found the engine oil temperature was reading 178F and then it would drop to 52F and it would move around. Went back in and put a new engine oil temperature sensor in and went for another test drive and the oil temp stayed at 196F to 194F. The tech said when the oil temp would drop the engine would inject in more fuel to try and warm up the engine. (I think that is what he said.) That was fixed last Monday and everything is still fine. I hope someone can use this info.

Ahh I see but no, she doesn't buck its throwing icp out of range code. I replaced the ipr last month and of.cleared it. My first beat run gave me full power, 2nd run killed the ipr and back to cutting out up top. That's why I think its a bad wire messing with my ipr signal
