Big. Did you change the filter while the motor was cool? There is a rubber "O" ring on the filter that has to "seat" right. Also is your drain closed? Is there fuel comming out around the filter? This would tell me that it is either not tight,cross threaded, or the O ring did not seat correctly. It sounds like you might be getting air into the filter. Not a mechanic just prior lessons learned here. Good luck.

 

IDM = injector driver module. The PCM tells the injectors when to fire via this. ICP = injector control pressure...pretty self explanitory. Here is a thread about the WIF light

Is the fuel bowl still full? IDM is injector driver module, it fires the injectors. Located on the drivers inner fender. ICP(located on drivers side head towards the front off the side of the fuel pressure regulator) is read by the PCM (computer) and tells the IPR (injector pressure regulator located on backside of high pressure oil pump) what it needs for oil pressure based mainly on the tps(throttle position sensor).

Did you clean the screen in the fuel bowl? How much cranking have you done? Checked the hpop resevoir?

 

i made sure oring is right no fuel leaking and changed fuel filter while some what warm

 

the fuel bowl is not full but 1/4 way full not all the way

 

the fuel bowl is not full but 1/4 way full not all the way how do u clean screen?

 

With the filter out on the drivers side down about an inch, take a qtip and pull the cotton off and clean it off with that.

Fill the bowl and try again. If you've done a lot of cranking check the hpop, it can drain down with excessive cranking. Make sure batteries are fully charged of course.

 

how to check and fill up hpop and whats that? i have redid the fuel filter two times refilled up bowl and reinstall it still the same way

 

If the engine stalled , either the fuel pressure went away or the hp oil pressure ... Check the oil ...Are the tanks full ? If you have a no start , try unplugging the ICP sensor at no start .. After that , we are going to need some live data...
