Try resetting your keep alive memory.

 

Your SES lights up at high boost with a boost fooler? Ya got yer money's worth on that one.

That is its sole purpose in life... and it's not getting it done. I say round file.

 

I realized that I have 2 MAP sensor gauges on my app. one a round gauge and one a digital. The digital is the one that was reading the stupid high number. I happened to notice just a few mins ago.... The readings now are saying that MAP is -0.4 and EBP is still 0.0 (lowest reading was 0.027) IPR is 14.7EOT was 152.6.

I don't know what gauge to believe now... I'm guessing the gauge is still junk because it's reading negative numbers.

This thing keeps dropping out of lock up on the stupidest hills

 

Look at the formula in either of them for this: (((A*256)+B)*0.03625)-BARO() That is your Boost number... which is derived from the MAP sensor minus the barometric pressure.

 

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...er-loss-5.html update so everyone knows these two threads are the same problem and the same truck.

 

Icp needs a swift kick in the ball joints when trying to accelerate. Fipw is hovering between 2.8 and 3.4 eot is 154 trans temp is a happy 142 with 30s ambient. Load seems high at 80-85%. Normal driving at 60 mph. Tq converter slip I don't understand is between 0-30 and has spiked to over 800 rpm during wot in od.


It's getting worse..... All of it



Mileage has dropped from 14ish to 10-11 mpg

 

That's not TCLU... that's TCFU. Concentrate on that real hard... you're leaving a lot of power and fuel on the table there.

My TCLU is just that - I get a tiny reading because of the lag in the data sampling, but never more than about 10 at WOT with Stinky.

 

I need a for sure thing on this truck.... I'm getting to the point of it's gonna be on it's way down the road without me in it.

EDIT: in what way would this explain the fipw or half of the other things that are not right? My buckzooka doesn't have "tugly rounds" laying next to it

 

Reading the information you've provided... it sounds like you have an aging truck that will need some new sensors, some transmission work (or maybe more pressure in the tune), and that HPOP is suspect. It then becomes a matter of "how far are you willing to go?" A replacement vehicle will be more expensive than parts for your truck - but you can get a loan for a vehicle, parts are another matter.

One big caveat: I'm not there to listen to the truck, see how things are tested, or catch something on the side that skews the data. I'm a gajillion miles away with just data, pictures, anecdotal evidence, and videos as my only diagnostic tools. I can easily miss something crucial.

That being said, this is a classic case of getting the truck to 100% before reaching for more power. While everything was fine before, a few things have faded and it will take some parts and work to counteract the effects of time and miles.

"Tugly rounds" My wife and I got a good chuckle out of that one. I was raised in poverty, so I never pictured myself as that guy that pisses away so much money on four wheels and a seat... but here I am. I can't say it's the smart thing to do, but Stinky has tossed me a diesel puzzle and I don't back down from a cerebral challenge... if I have the means.

 

I've come to the conclusion that as long as my truck runs and drives under it's own power I'm in it for the long haul. I'm going to my trans guy Monday to hook it up and confirm what's going on with the converter at 330. He said from the sounds of it there's no question in his mind the converter went out. The trans is out of warranty but the converter had a 3 year warranty on it so after we confirm it via his scanner he's gonna order me a new one before I give him my old one. I'll give him the converter when I'm done. I'm going to enlist the help of a friend of mine and drop the trans after work one night and have it ready for work the next morning.


Once this problem is resolved well start all over and I'll replace whatever I've gotta replace to get my truck back up to 100% Tugly rounds start coming soon....
