Your in Utah??

Where at??if close enough maybe I can come help ya

 

im in provo ut

 

i see ur in saratgoa springs

 

Do you have anyway to monitor vitals such as fuel pressure, ficm voltage? Have you drained your water seperator and checked fuel filters?? Even though you just had them changed.

 

no i dont have any way

 

Its going to be real hard to figure things out without some readings. Might want to run to autozone or somewhere and pick you up a scangauge 2. Only like 150 bucks or something.

 

well then IDK what your plans are to fix if you want to get a SGII or whatnot

Think about it how you want to attack it

You can get a SGII or I can bring one dont matter to me

Think about it and PM me your Phone# I will check my PM in the AM and give ya a Call and decide the best way to address this

But I can come to Provo

 

Tried to reps you Benny, but apparently I am in reps jail

 

Benny is that the reason you got all that smoke coming out of you avatar, going to the rescue?? Lol. Thats pretty aewsome. Hard to find good people in this old world now days.

 

update this morn i got up warmed up it up took it for a drive my self from a light u go to step on gas pedal u start to speed up then u lose ur gas pedal then it come back but this time the glow plug light came on just a second then went off then lost the gas pedal again its acting like bogging down also i have no check engine light or codes

 

Sounds like a wire chaffing issue to me. Sounds as if the pcm is resetting. I would look around the gpcm and around the ficm and ccv area for wire chaffing.

 

Don't worry, I got him.

First all to all people on this site all are a big help with info pointers etc im learning about my 6.0 alot of things i dont know. one thing i learned if ur alt is bad it will mess w ur ficm from what i read and learned from benny great guy full of info so im going to replace my alt then go from there thanks guys and benny
