Finally hooked my scanguage up. Can someone tell me what xguages I should be looking for? Or what they are. Thanks for any info.

 

Xgauges have to be programmed in but it's pretty simple. I'm at my work computer so I don't have the list but Benny or Amdriven2liv can get them for you. I'm not sure if they're in the tech folder or not.

 

Here is a PDF I made awhile ago of all the gauge codes. It's might be missing a few but should cover the most common ones.

Key On=0 LI=0 HI=13 Op range=0-17.75 (mine reads up to 99%, not sure why)

 

Wow that's alot of codes lol. Thanks guys. I'll read into that a little more when I get home from work. And definatley watch the video!

 

Finally got to load a couple. My Ficm is at 48V and my EOT is 179 and FWT is 175. Seems pretty good to me.

 

coolant temp of 175 is definitely low, indicating a bad thermostat. Amazing how common that is, I did one in the fall. Oil temp is also low, but in this case that's good and bad - good that the oil cooler is keeping the temp close to the coolant temp but bad that the oil isn't getting up to the desired temp of around 195 to 200 degrees.

That will cause low fuel mileage right? Because mine seems to suck.

 

It will probably cause a slow warm up from a cold start, which is what actually causes most poor fuel mileage problems. When you do a cold start the turbo vanes are commanded closed, reducing power and performance but creating back-pressure that helps to warm up the engine faster, and the transmission uses an alternate fourth gear that is actually overdrive third (it's actually a six speed auto) to make the engine rev higher, again to warm up faster. The injection pulse width is far higher when cold, putting a lot more fuel into the engine.

I did some fuel mileage runs after a cold start, and then comparing to when the engine is warm. If I do a cold start (32F), let the engine idle until the glow plugs go off, then drive 15 miles in mixed suburban driving (some 25 mph stretches, some 50 mph stretches) I get around 7 - 8 mpg for that run. If I do the same run with the engine fully up to temp I get around 15 mpg. When I do a long highway run, unloaded, I get around 21 - 22 mpg. Having established that, I now monitor mileage but no longer worry about it. It is what it is.

Edit: apologies for turning this towards fuel mileage, but here is another observation. Even on a highway run the extra fuel used from simply stopping to refuel and getting back on the highway makes a big difference. I recently did a 700 km run on one tank. The fuel usage monitor (Scangauge II) started the run at around 10 mpg, after the first hour was around 15 mpg, after four hours had stabilized at around 21 mpg. Stopped for a pee break, next hour was around 15 mpg then down to 21 mpg by hour three. This was average for the driving session, which is one of the modes the Scangauge allows. Overall mpg for the day was about 21.5. The next day I had a decent headwind, and the best I saw was about 18 - 19.

Brian

 

Well my truck does alot of idling when its cold so I know that's a lot of the problem. My truck runs horrible when its cold. If I dont let it run for ten minutes when its cold it seems to surge if I try to baby it at low speeds, 5-25mph. When it runs for 10-15 min in the driveway its fine. I don't know if fhats normal or not. My 7.3 if I was running late I could just go. I'm averaging about 11-12 mpg on a tank. I am going to order some filters and switch to synthetic oil. I don't know what the previous owner has in it or has done to it.

Also my turbo seems to be working fine even when cold. I can hear it and the gauge shows it. Or is there more to it then that.

 

Going to a ford dealer and getting the latest flashes will really improve the cold running. Mine rattles for 2 - 3 seconds then a smooth idle, and if I want to I can drive it away at that point. I like to let it idle till the glow plugs turn off, but I don't have to.

Brian

 

How long do the glow plugs stay on? I cycle the key three times using the light to go by. Then it starts pretty smooth. It idles fine when cold. Just when I go to take off when its cold it seems to surge or lose power a little and I have to give it more pedal. When I start my truck this morning cold I will be able to see what FICM is doing on a cold start.

 

I was told the glow plugs are on for 2 minutes after start up.

 

About 2 minutes they will be on, that includes time the light is on. Cycling the key wont do much unless you do it after the first 2 minutes.

They will turn off sooner, depending on temperature. You can watch your volt gauge and tell when they turn off. there is a PID that times the glow plugs, but haven't gotten the xgauge to work right on them. So, I just use my volt gauge.

Volts will be in the 11v area, then when they turn off the volts will rise up to where they should be. 13.8-14v
