I can hear the fuel pump and it sounds like it runs for a ling time. ficm volts 48.5 bat volts 13.5. it is a 2006 f250 4x4. thanks for any help.

 

Check upper fuel filter for fuel

 

unplug the ICP sensor and try it again

its in the passengerside Valve cover

any DTC

any recent work??

Those ICP and IPR Readings are Cranking??if so they just don't seam right IPR should be Higher value

Post ICPV @ KOEO

 

it is being towed I will check in the am thanks for the quick response

 

that was Fast Good Luck with it

 

usaa insurance is great they took care of the tow

 

So I went out and checked the fuel filter this AM and it was not full. so I drained the fuel pump and it looked bad. Pulled the filter and it was badly jelled. I changed filters and yes OEM and it started up and ran great. I think I just learned a lesson about draining the fuel pump. Don't ask how long it has been it's to embarrassing. Thanks for the help.

 

You mean you removed the drain plug on the HFCM (Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module) on the frame rail beneath the driver, where the MAIN fuel filter is located? Then you replaced that filter AND the one on the engine.

BTW, low fuel pressure can ruin your injectors..
You should drain the HFCM - at least - on each oil change (5k miles), and replace the fuel filters every 10k miles..

You should also look at getting the upgraded HFCM drain plug, it has a knurled **** on it vs. using an allen wrench which strips out the hole.. Makes it MUCH easier to do this regularly..

 

Yes I know it is bad for the injectors and yes I know I should have been draining it more. I thought if I posted what I didn't do and what it caused someone might learn from my mistake. I ordered the drain plug from RIFF RAff this morning. And again thanks for the help. The truck is running great.

 

Great to hear you are running again.
