6.0 stalled today
Just got the pickup a month ago and it is kinda hard starting, has no power until it warms up then it has good power. Today I was driving and it just bogged down more and more until it just died. Would not restart. No master with the multi meter but set it on 200 v and tested the Ficm and it was running between 48 and 48.1 v but one time while cranking it dipped down to 37 fir just a split second. When it does run it would puff white smoke and motor would run real rough. Can't get over 1500 Rpms when it is cold like it is starving. Think it is the Ficm? Thanks!

What is the icp and what does that do? And that's the tricky part on the year the truck is an 01 and the original owner told me the 6.0 came out of an 05 but the Ficm has the 7 screws. I don't know of any other way to check the year on the motor.

The ICP sensor on an 05 motor is on the passenger side valve cover. Disconnecting it will tell the ECM that injection control pressure is 'good' - above the 500 psi required - regardless of whether it is. If your ICP isn't actually 500 psi but way close, it could allow the motor to start.
If your FICM voltage is dipping down below 45 though - even for a split second - it's time to get it replaced or rebuilt. We can help you out there - FICMRepair.com - FORD Powerstroke 6.0 FICM Repair, PHP Tuning and Truck Parts.
Hope this helps!

I will check that out, so if it does start does that mean it fooled the Ficm? I always suspected it was weak and am deffinately going to send it to you because from what I read you are the best according to fte. Right now I am busy trying to get the crops in so I am using my f150 lariat for a farm truck lol. I will check that out when I can though

No
that] A HPO SENSOR
But I bet THEY is on track
You pulled a Bad value for FICM as long as there was no test contamination OBDII readers eliminate for most part
It may need Batts and or Alt

Batteries are good I will check the alternator. I got the truck as a project truck as it does and wouldn't start, ended up being a fuse but I wore the batteries down trying to get fuel into the engine and I may have screwed my Ficm. I didn't know this about the 6.0 until I started reading about them.
