Guess what? Another no-start thread

OK, I think this one is different. 1st I have done hours of search and research on this site. Also have a decent background in diesel mechanics.

That being said here goes; 2007 bone stock 130k miles. "Grocery getter" rarely tow and when I do its a light ski boat on flat ground.

Cold starts good, normal performance. Hot starts are either extended cranking or no start at all. Cool down for an hour and fires right up.

Changed oil and filter with OEM cap.

Had a friend hook up AutoEnginuity on PC. No codes. Of coarse it was before I discovered that the start issue was only when hot. His test was after cool down so it didn't fail to start.

Readings at idle were;
ICP, I can't remember but it was high enough to start and increased with RPM. In the green.
IPR, 24% duty cycle. In the green.
FICM, 50.8v high and in the red.

So I'm thinking that HPOP is OK and probably no air leaks since IPR not trying to compensate for loss.

The only thing that sticks out is FICM voltage. And I know nothing about where or how that is regulated and if it could be heat related.

Anyone want to take a swing at this one?

your symtoms sound like a HPO Leak

I take it you had the AE Hooked up to the truck and it was running????

If so you need to take ICP and IPR% readings when it Wont start

And Also do this Hope you still have the AE or a Gauge anyways

OPERATING VALUES
Just make shure the numbers are taken exactly like this
Truck in PARK OR NEUTRAL all times during test
ECT at 190* or close to And EOT at 185* or higher
A/C OFF
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1-------KOEO=Key On Engine Off =record EACH sensor value and POST IT!!
#2-------Low Idel (truck idel on its own)=record EACH sensor value and POST IT!!
#3-------High Idel (2500RPM)=record EACH sensor value and POST IT!!


Take Values for these sensor
ICP
ICPV
IPR%
FICM MP
FICM LP
FICM VP
Volt

If it has A HPO Leak it should show taking the sensor values like this^^^^^

The FICM at 50volts dont worrey me to bad. Do you have one of those AfterMarket FICMs from Swamps or anything???????????


A 2007 MY need to have the Updated HPO Parts installed
STC
Standpipes
Dummey Plugs

Have you done any of these 3^^

Guess What? Another no-start answer

Let's chalk this up to another 6.0L that will likely need a set of dummy rail plugs and an STC and be good to go after that.

Will get acces to the PC next week. Won't shut it off until then

No aftermarket parts. Dealer installed turbo at 99,990 miles. (I waited to see if anything else was going to crap out) Now thatI say that, I'll need to look up the work order. Seems like the STC was done....

So why wouldn't we see a higher duty cycle on the IPR if there was a leak?

Cause it was cold. The plugs and stand pipe don't leak badly with cold oil. You need to test them when it's cranking and not starting.

Either way you are 99.9% looking at plugs and pipes.

Could be how you tested it Truck was Cooled down and I assume No Values were taken at High Idel (2500rpm)

What was EOT when you took ICP and IPR% Readings?????????

I see this All the time Folks get there sensor values when the trucks running Fine when they really should get the operating values During the Problem. Intermittened Problems Suck

You Might have a Higher Duty cycle When truck is at Normal Operating temp

Thats why I posted the Very Specific Detailed way to get the operating Values in post #2

50V on a OEM FICM is not the proper voltage either. Maybe Ed can jump in on this (why would an OEM FICM have higher than intended voltage), but I would watch that! Anyway - add me to the "HPO leak list".

The late model 6.0L's are GREAT trucks - just take care of the HPO system leak points. I wish I had a low mileage 07 (as a second truck)!

Mark, it's not that uncommon to see FICM_M voltage touch 50 volts in my experience. I have recalled two such trucks that I've wrenched on that were hovering between 49.5 to 50 volts while I was datalogging. Neither of those trucks had any issues with the FICM either.

Bare with me. Not sure how to utilize AE to its full potential.

Engine hot
KOEO;
ICPV .25
IPR% 14.84
FICM VP 49-50 consistant

Fires right up

ICPV .59-2.37
IPR% 22.6-84.77 (RPM 550-2500)

Shut down

KOEO
ICPV .25

IPR% 9.77<<<<<NOTICE< p> Cranks for entended period IPR stuck 9.77%, ICPV .28-.40

Then we used the command "IPR 30%"
Fired right off.

We saved the file in Excel, can't post it here.

So, what controls the duty cycle of the IPR? Once it was "told" to be at 20% it would fire off perfect.

I can't buy the HPOP leak.

Your ICP sensor is BAD


The IPR is adjusted from the ICP reading

so might be the ICP throwing the Bad signal

Or I didnt read it right

get values like this

OPERATING VALUES

Truck in PARK OR NEUTRAL all times during test
ECT at 190* or close to And EOT at 185* or higher
A/C OFF
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2-------Low Idel (truck idel on its own)=record EACH sensor value and POST IT!!
#3-------High Idel (2500RPM)=record EACH sensor value and POST IT!!


Test Again just like this^^^
ICP
ICPV
ICP Desired to
IPR%
FPW this one check mainly when it wont start see if stuck on 0

And if it will only crank then post Values During CRANK at this time will be the Bad Reading somewhere

not exactly true, however this is the case about 90% of the time. i have seen more then one set leak when cold and seal when hot. kinda makes you wonder sometimes.
