Crank, No Start No Codes

Truck ran good, but for the past month every once in awhile it would just stall quick, no rumbling, no smoke, like someone just turned off the ignition, if you turn the key it would immediately fire right back up. Well today it would not start back up. Pulled the IPR plug, no good. FICM replaced abt. a month ago. Checked with Scan Gauge, oil pressure abt. 925 while cranking dropped to abt. 780 after extended crank. And no codes. I do notice when turning key on I hear less clicking/noises going on. All dash lights come on and turn off as usual. Tach doesn't move. Hope this helps, any ideas ?

You supposed to pull ICP
Maybe that's what you did worded it wrong I assume
Don't sound like PCM is losing power since you don't mention a gauge sweep


But that's not you problem sounds like a shorted wire or bad ign switch

Blade I was hoping you'd be around. Yes ICP plug in passenger valve cover. Also a sensor below the fuel filter, I pulled that too because I wasn't sure which one it was, been a few years since I played with a 6.0, went 6.7 but just picked this 6.0 truck up for snow plowing. No gauge sweep, dash acts normal. So where next ?

Even though your FICM was replaced recently, have you checked its output voltage?

48 volts at the FICM is the very minimal. Anything less is considered LOW!! I'm thinking it is a bad IPR, or HPOP. Also try unplugging your fan clutch. It is rare, but if it goes bad, it CAN keep the engine from starting. Luckily, it is very easy to un-plug.

check crank/cam sync on your scan gauge
925 is enough pressure to start and run

48v is designed output, less than 45v is time for repair. It's common to see a perfectly functional FICM flip back and fourth from 47.5 to 48. Output should be checked under all driving conditions but common times for the voltage to sag are KOEO, during cranking, at cold idle, and under load.

Its funny you guys are saying this, because after a cold soak this morning I said maybe I should check the FICM, KO 20, key on for abt. 30 seconds ZERO , and the other reading was 8.0, then after 30 seconds .20, ugh its like a month old !! And my batteries are good, 13 volts KO.

"Other" reading was FVP? FLP? Maybe the relay is crapping out on you.

OK I just went to check on it again FVP 13.0, FLP 6.50, FMP 30.5, if I leave the key on for abt. 30 seconds the FLP slowly drops to .20 and the FMP slowly goes to zero . FVP stays the same.

stick a fork in it.... or butter it if you prefer, its toast! I'd be checking your batteries and alternator, they are not helping.

OK I'll throw a fresh one in and see if it starts, if it does, should the FICM be ok ?
