Happy Humpeth Day all. Welcome to May!

Hi there!
I suspect I am going to have to replace my HPOP, but just to make sure I was wondering if anyone around me would be willing to scan my 2004 Excursion 6.0 for some beer? My truck is running like crap on the high end, no hard start or won’t crank issues. I have an Edge CTS2 monitor, but just the basic monitoring cable set- can see EGT’s, EOT’s, Boost etc..
I have code P2290 showing up. I am going to check ICP sensor first and then pull the oil filter to listen for air or bubbles, then IPR. I have had nothing but issues with this damn thing since I bought it a few years ago. I had a “reputable” shop in the area do the head stuffs and ton of other work to bulletproof that engine and then that motor shortly after the work was done crapped the bed and blew head gaskets and the cracked the block.
Now fast forward to about a 1,000 miles after a newish “used” motor with low miles was installed and now this issue is popping up.
I feel cursed and don’t trust the shop that did the work obviously.
Hoping someone might be able to help? I am no mechanic by any means but am learning by fire. This has been a huge learning experience and would appreciate any input or help.
New to the site so if this is not in the right place to post my apologies

 

Hey there Clyde, you may have better luck in the 6.0 forum-but, Scott is real handy around a 6.0. He will chime in soon for ya

Welcome!

 

It's a lesson learned. Sorry. When it comes to mechanical parts, never install used. Only new, rebuilt, or remanufactured. Especially with engines and transmissions. Same amount of labor goes into it.

I don't have a problem with used auto parts. Obviously, some items should be reused. If there is a good fender, hood, bumper, et cetera. But I would hesitate at anything mechanical or a moving part with wear. Other people will argue that it still works and you're saving money. But I will never buy used tires, a used water pump, a used fan belt, used gears, et cetera. My dad put 3 used radiators into his old 5.0. Each of them blew up, just like the original radiator. Then I bought a new radiator. That was cheaper than 3 used radiators from junk yards, and it's still in the car today.

 

I know nothing about diesel engines, but I know Scott (04badford) does.When he sees this I am sure he can help. I also agree that checking the 6.0 forums is a good idea.

hello Clyde and Welcome to Nor Cal FTE , most times when the top side come out , the cleaning process is not so good, disconnect ICP and the IPR will default , either it will run better in default unless IPR screen is plugged up or torn, your code
P-2290 is Injector control pressure too low for command time frame,
if it’s leaking oil out the connection side then yes time for a New ICP Sensor, May not be a bad Idea to check IPR aswell or at least get some numbers as too what it’s trying to open at, here are the Ford Specs for both, remember take these values In Park , no Radio , Hvac, or any power related ideas on , just Engine .
koeo- key on Engine off, low idle no throttle just idling, high at 2500 RPM, ,Engine Warm not cold.
ICP-Koeo -0 low Idle-625.5 high at 2500 rpm- 1400 +
ICP- Koeo -14.84% Low-24% High-40.60
i read a Scan Gauge , but some have dash boss , And other Apple monitors that are Ford Diesel specific .

 

Clyde one other thing is , are you running a OEM oil Filter and the small Cap , the Aftermarket filters and Tall Cap will loose pressure , if your not sure take a picture and post on here , I’ll try to dig up some for you to look at.

 

 

Happy Friday all!

Jim
