Hey y'all, so I'm new to the diesel community and got a question. My 04 PS was blowin white smoke constantly while running. I just towed a uHaul from Connecticut to Virginia Beach and had some coolant issues on the drive down (I was out of coolant on 95 in PA, added coolant and it made the rest of the drive no problem). I got here to Virginia and it was low on coolant again. I added coolant to it, and now I have some other issues. I had what looked like oil comin out the stacks onto the bed, so I pulled the turbo thinking it was seals. But the turbo was just rebuilt prior to me buying it with a wicked wheel in it. It still had stock EGR and it has 202K on it. I asked for help on a different part of this forum, checked and found EGR valve was wet. Ordered an EGR delete kit, and just finished installing it. Now with everything put back together, the truck doesn't want to start. It cranks but doesn't fire. I pulled the codes from my tuner and I got: P0403, P0405, P0683, and P2623. I know P0403 and P0405 are related to EGR but the others I'm at a loss on. The EGR delete kit I bought included the blank to remove the valve but what do I do with the plug that used to plug into it? Any ideas for the way forward to get the truck back up and runnin again? This is my daily driver and not lookin to break the bank to get it goin again but I really need her to be reliable. Thanks for the help.

 

Did you make sure everything was plugged back in? P0683 is glow plug control module. P2623 is IPR circuit open. I'm guessing you didn't plug everything back together

The egr plug you can leave hanging, you don't need it. Although some say it should be left plugged into the egr valve for proper engine fan operation.

 

Would that explain the fail to start?

 

The P2623 would do it. That plugs under the turbo.

You a sub guy?

 

Yea Randy, goin to my third boat here in a couple weeks. So I gotta pull the turbo again or can I get to that plug with it installed still?

 

Pull the filter, you should be able to wrangle your hand back there.

Your name sounds familiar, you a coner?

 

Yup, A-Ganger. Was on USS NORFOLK, USS HARTFORD, and now goin to a PCU.

 

When were you on 714? I served on her twice 91-95 and again 2006-2007, was the ANAV.

What boat?

 

714 from Jan 06 to Oct 10, goin to the Delaware.

 

That would explain why your names familiar...

We served on the Norfolk in 06-07' together. Maybe this will help... ETCS(SS) Watson

 

Yup, makes sense now. haha Crazy small world. I'm gonna look into that plug and see if I can figure anything out. Thanks for the help.

 

my pleasure

 

So I took a look, and yup IPR is not plugged in. Tried to get my hand in there to get it reconnected and couldn't get my fingers to bend like that. Bout to pull turbo again tonight, reconnect, and attempt to restore. I'll let yall know

 

Can you pull the degas tank and FICM front and rear brackets to reach it.... easier than a turbo for just a plug.

 

I'll give that a shot Randy.
