Need help please. Stranded on the road.
As the title states I'm stranded with my daughter on the road. My truck just died with no warning. I have fuel pressure and oil is full and I believe my injectors are not fireing. I have my AE hooked up and I am getting P1298 Injector Driver Module Failure. Is there a fuse that powers the injector driver module? Is there anything other than a bad injector driver module that could cause this? I have a Swamps Diesel moded injector driver module installed. Could it have failed? Any quick help would be appreciated as I'm stuck on the road. Thank You!!

Update. I got a ride home and went back with my spair IDM. I installed it and the truck started right up. I let it sit and idol for about 15 minutes and then headed home. I didn't get two blocks and it died again and would not restart. I checked it with my AE and now getting P1283 and p1280 and p0340. I swapped in a spair cam position sensor and it still wouldn't start. I took the handle of a screwdriver and hit the icp and ipr and the two sensors on the HPOP resivuar and it started right up and I was able to drive it home with it running perfect like always. What is/was actually wrong I have no idea at this point. Thank You.

Found these on the net. First 2 sounds like IPR not working properly. Not sure how the p0340 comes in. Try unplugging ICP and see if it runs ok???
(P1280-P1281-P1282-P1283-P1284) = KOEO OR CONTINUOUS DTC INDICATES INJECTOR CONTROL SIGNAL CIRCUIT OUT OF
RANGE LOW WAS DETECTED.
(P0340 OR P0341 OR P0344) = ENGINE TORQUE AND FUEL IS CONTROLLED AND DEPENDENT ON ENGINE SPEED. FUEL QUANTITY
IS DETERMINED BY ENGINE SPEED.

P1280 plus fixing it with a bonk on the IPR sounds like sticking IPR. Tin nut on there?
I'm thinking 2 failures, IDM went south plus sticky IPR. But maybe one thing can cause all that, I dunno.

Thanks for all of the ideas. I did check the 42 pin connector where it passes over the valve cover and all looks good there. I also tried unplugging the ICP and no change. I will be trying my Swamps IDM again to find out for sure if there really is a problem with it or not. My IPR is a genuine Ford IPR that I installed myself that now only has aprox 80k miles on it and the tin nut is tight. I really need to get this figured out because I need the truck Father's Day weekend to go camping with my daughter.

It's a sorry statement of the world nowadays, but the fact is, Parts out of the box, or in service 2 years are not guaranteed to function just when you need them. That's why we try not to use anything short of OEM on our replacement parts. You know....S*#& happens. But does sound like you knocked something free when you applied some "hammer therapy".....and since your IPR has the only mechanical parts of the 3 you rapped on....There's your Sign.
