My truck will not start. reading all the post I must say that i have not change the oil in about 8000 miles and not sure if this is the problem but I was driving and engine just shutt off and will not start again. I mean the engine turns very strong but just will not start. Can someone help me. Thak you for all your ehlp.

 

Jean it would help if we knew what year truck you have and it would help if you change the oil 8 k way to much. And how long has it been sense the fuel filters have been changed . Make sure you use only motor craft filters . Also need to have it checked for dtc's there does not have to be a check engine light to have codes.

 

Sorry man, Thanks for your help. Yes, I know I over did it with 8k miles oil change. I know have this problem and have no idea. I change the filters on my last oil change and I was told that I had purchse the wrong oil cap from auto parts as this cap is a bit tall and not the same as from Ford. On my last oil change I replace all 3 filter. 2 disel filters and 1 oil filter. What is DTC'S stands for.

 

DTC stands for Diagnostic Trouble Code. You need to see if it is getting fuel, oil pressure. There are alot of things that it could be. With the little info you provided it is nearly impossible to diagnose the problem.

 

OK, I will see how I can get it to the auto part to see if they can scan the computer for codes and than I will get back with codes. Thank you.

 

Jean dtc is dianostic trouble code . Some after market filters use there own caps if you are using a motor craft filter with a after market cap then that could be your problem. These motors are really picky NEVER USE anything other than motor craft filters. These filters have a patton number and anything else has to be made diff , thats why the diff cap on others is because its a diff lenght. Also if truck will not start there is most likely trouble codes need to have truck scaned.

 

You might want to pull that oil filter out and look at it being non oem. Might of come apart in there. Won't cost nothing to look at it.

 

Can the truck be scan even if the engine is not running?

 

yes it can

 

ok, I will haul the truck over to the auto parts and will let you know the codes. Thank you for all the help.

 

Yes, I will do that tonight. I been wanting to do that for the last 6 month and just really never got around it.

 

Thanks every body for helping me out. I really apreciate all help. I when to the auto parts and got the truck scan and here are the codes. it shows P2290, P0460,P2617
My truck is a 2006 and it has 170000 miles. Please tell me if you know which one is causing the truck to not start and if you happen to know how to fix it. Thank you.

 

Sounds like your icp sensor and maybe your ficm.

 

Hey Bob thank you. Well, the FICM was replace I say about 9 months ago. Here is my question. I am thinking of doing this repair my self since I cant afford to have it done by dealer. Is this something that you recomend for me to do? also, does IPR and ICP work together? from all the conversation I see lots of people talk about both as one piece that if you replace one you must replace the other. The other question is if you can point out where the ICP is located and if I need to replace anything else while I am already there.
