I always put alittle dio grease on the connection seems to slip on easyer DBL check all three connections this is what helps , use two 1x2s 1 to cross and 1 to lever up on the connection unless the clip is snaped off you should hear it snap if they are broke off zip tie the connection, check the pins inside just in case .

+1^ 04badford.....Yeah those connections can cause some stupid and various issues. Like 04BF stated, you should hear 2 distinct clicks per connector unless one of the tabs broke. You can order the aftermarket pigtails online roughly $25 - $30 each I believe.... putting that out there just in case it's related.

I do not remember hearing two clicks for any of the ficm conectors. One for sure just not two. I wonder if that is the problem. Sometimes the ipr reading on the scanguage would freeze or give weird reading when I revved the engine. Does the ficm have anything to do with the ipr valve?

So I started it up again this morning. The IPR readings were all over the place. At idle it would be down to 14.4 then if ii revved it up it sometimes would stay low at 14.4. It would go up and down but I dont think the reading should ever be that low correct. FICM voltage were good. So does this mean change IPR valve and if so I called arround town and cannot get that special socket anywhere. Can I change the IPR by pulling the turbo?

Double check those connections first...even if you have to unplug again. Did you ever bench check your batteries? It would be very wise to do so just to eliminate some contributing factors or to prevent chasing problems that may not be there.
Agreed those IPR readings seem low, but figures/readings will be off if the above is not 100% ok and verified. Napa should have the socket, otherwise removing the turbo is a lot of extra work (like the exhaust V clamps, what a PITA)

IPR sounds Like it Pluged
Its Going Low to Dump pressure
Might Clean it or need new
Looks like SCOTT Got it
It is one the most common trashed parts after this work

I checked the connections. All seemed good. The Batteries are only a couple months old and I topped up the charge on them while I did the oil cooler job. I also put the charger on them over night las night so they would be good for this morning.
I now have the turbo out (goes alot quicker the second time) now i need to find that socket or a wrench that will fit so I can check that valve.

if turbo out use a Cresent wrench for IPR
I pull my turbo to to get IPR its Faster then messing with that socket LOL or I don't have the socket
I got my ICp out with turbo and all there it worked but Sucked Turbo is just to easy to pull once you get thee hang of Installing it

FIXED!!!
First off, big thanks to everyone. She is back up and running and everything seems to be good. It was the IPR valve. A ford mechanic at the dealer in the loaned me his socket and it went great. The screen on the old one was caved in.
On my test drive back into town to give the mechanic his socket back all the numbers on the scan guage looked good and the truck felt great. And as for deltas, went from 30-33 to did not get above 6. That is doing 120km/h. for 50km each way.
So once again thanks to everyone and I will be back to tap the great wealth of knowledge that the good members of this foruum have.
Cheers!

Glad to hear! I'm still a bit perplexed by the FICM readings though... Key on I usually don't see anything below 47.5...the fact that it dropped at all has me scratching my head. I don't have a 6.0 in front of me though to see what voltage is during cranking, and then also most will start right away not allowing to get that reading either.
I hope it is 100% resolved though, and now you know where to go in case FICM ever does fail.
