I had an HPOP line burst and soak the engine compartment with oil. I replaced the line and degreased the engine and rinsed it off. I started the truck and let it idle for 15 minutes or so before driving it. On the way home right after a shift it started chugging and running terribly. The check engine light was on as well. I limped it the mile or so home and shut it off. I restarted it and it runs just fine. I checked the DTC's with Forscan and there were a bunch of things that were mostly related to the HPOP and the MAT sensor that was shredded when the line blew. I left the hood open to dry out today and I'm hoping it is just some water in a connector. Does that sound plausible?

 

Yes. Maybe. Could you share the codes?
To clear all of the air out of the heads you will have to drive it at least 30 miles, some will say 50.

 

I know this sounds like a stupid question but did you refill the oil? Low oil level results in poor or non running conditions.

 

Not stupid at all...sometimes we miss the obvious. I have, at least when my brain is functioning normally.

 

Yeah, oil level was topped off. Lost about 6 qts when it blew. I'll do light driving around see if it happens. I'll post the codes when I have a chance.

It wasn't a gradual power loss. It was like a light switch from accelerating smoothly to chugging.

 

Sound like a UVCH may have gotten wet or been loosened.

 

Maybe you could be a bit more specific?
