Regarding no starts, my ficm two or three times a week will have 5 volts flv, and 12 volts fmp, don't watch third voltage each day. With the sg2 i can tell when this happens and i cycle the key and it usually goes to the normal volts and then i turn the key and it fires right up.

The one time voltage test would never have helped me. I will send mine to Ed @work firmreapair.com later this month when i am out of town and my truck will sit for a week.
looking forward to the atlas 40 too!!!

no oil pressure no run !!
Is there coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant
No oil pressure the low pressure pump sends oil to the high pressure pump .
to fire the injectors . No oil pressure no run !!!!!!
The 6.0 is famous for EGR issuse and bads head gaskets .
The ICP tells you alot you need a scanner to see the spike it around 1700 -2000 at start up and when running around 600 psi.
Good luck

Elpaso, ebp seems low at 13.5 on cranking ,0 on icp is low should be 540+cranking, around 580/625 at idle you need to take the values like this
koeo ( key on engine off
low ( idle on its own
high (at 2500 rpm=
and post the values so we can decifer the engine has to be at warm temp you can get four pids enter and then change format to next pids and post

If you trace it to a top injector seal see this thread:

This might be your Issue and a very good place to start, Hpop and low oil pressure will keep your truck from starting IPR valve check the screen also look at the gauge for numbers and post.

Did you change oil filter recently?
Do you use ford oil filters and know you have a oem oil cap? Aftermarket filter and caps usually don't work properly and let oil drain without being filtered. Lots to read on fte, hope you get more help..
if the low side looses pressure the hpop can't build pressure to start. Not sure, just throwing it out there.

When i did the oil i just used an autozone filter. But back to my SGII readings, i'm getting nothing from the ICP, so i need to change it....or no? If so, does anyone know what the p/n is for the ICP that is mounted on the valve cover
