Hey Darrel have you got a oil pressure gauge you could hook up to see what your lpo pressure is.

Have some stuff at work I can probably make work. Do you know what the specs are and the best place to hook up the gauge?

Or bad IPR that's stuck open.

What's the oil level in the res now.

Did you monitor EOP with AE while cranking? Even a low reading would mean the HPOP res is filling up enough. The EOP sensor is on top of the
reservoir. If there were allot of air in the res you probably wouldn't get any reading.

I just added the specs to my previous post.

10 PSI at idle but while cranking it would be less.

Have you ever took a IPR apart and cleaned it? Its pretty easy I have seen one that quit working that had a very small piece of crud in the little hole inside. I have a used spare IPR that I could send you if you would like to try it.

Thanks Robin. Wanted to check the level in the reservoir but didnt bring any tools home with me.

Eddie, I took it apart and cleaned it last summer before RRE.

What seems funny to me is that it will run just fine for 10-2o minutes at idle and then just dies like I cut the key off. No spit or sputter. Its done this 2 days in a row.

Also when it was running the engine coolant temp was reading almost 300* on AE and it had only been running for about 5 minutes so I know it wasnt that hot. Wiggled the wires at the connector but it didnt change. I did get a screen shot but cant figure out how to post it.

AE will read screwy on ECT on an auto trans truck. It can read pretty close after full operating temp, but is way off 'til then.
Have you tried ohming the IPR coil? It should read between 5 and 20 ohms. Just a WAG, but it could have an "open" in it when it heats up.

Have you checked the big bundle of wiring where it goes over the valve cover to see if one of the wires may be rubbed thru and is shorting?

Where's the stock idiot gauge when AE reads 300? It would be nice to compare AE EOT to ECT while the ECT is rising to that high a temp. If the EOT isn't showing close to the same temp I woud think the ECT sender is bad.

No one likes to throw parts at a problem but coolant temp senders are cheap.

EOT was at 125 when ECT was at 302.
Gauge was at about 1/8th.
