Problem after 6.0 oil cooler replace HELP PLEASE!!!

2003 f250 6.0 powerstroke with egr delete. I drove this truck in my shop just fine. Customer told me it needs oil cooler replaced. I replaced the oil cooler very clean reinstall all went smoothly. I turned key on for 30 seconds and off 3 times like they say. Took forever to get running but when idling smoothly if I put it in gear it will not accelerate/move at all. It also has poor throttle response even in park when letting off throttle after revving, the engine stumbles but does not stall. I have checked all tubing and clamps, elec. plugs all are clean and plugged up good. Injector buzz test shows codes p0264, p0267, p0273, p0282. When cranking over IPR is showing 40% on snap on souless <-- lol.
it will start right up when cold but after warm it will fire back up but shut right back off. Could clogged IPR screen cause this issue??

Is all the air completely worked out of the "opening" of the system?

IPR clogged screen is a possibility and likely after that repair.

Could be a priming issue. I am just hoping you didn't drop anything down them Open ports while you where working.

Sounds like it is full of air
would being full of air cause those injector codes? I had it running long enough to get to operating temp twice.

I didn't have any problems with mine, but i have heard of some having to drive the ***** out of it (hard runs) to completely bleed it out.

Check the IPR screen for debris and it being broken from debris injected into it after the job you did.

I can't even get it to move under its own power let alone drive it

That's injectors 2, 3, 5, and 8. All are comming from the center connector of the FICM. I would check first if the pins or sockets are arc burned at that location, as the reading indicate a loose FICM connector.

Yeah that would be a problem

As Blade35 mentioned the FICM plug gets brittle and you inadvertently working around it jarred it loose.

Check the easy stuff first but I'd still check the IPR valve screen if the easy does not get you results.

Good Luck

Your right I do know a lot I've been a mechanic for 25 years. I don't normally work on these powerstroke diesels and I'm having issues! So I give the info I have and hope someone can help. At least I'm pretty sure thats how these forums work.

Normally it's an uppipe to turbo leak for no power after turbo comes out there a pia

But you have multiple inject dtc so address these first see if problem will resolve itself

You are off base on your post above IMO ...........

Read up on the 2004.25+ and up FICM design. It doesn't have to be a connector (or plug), it could even be the logic board itself.

2,3,5,8 share a low side driver and 1,4,6,7 share a low side driver. The wiring follows this pattern also.
Lastly, an injector short to ground on the low side could produce four different cylinder error codes as well.

Almost certainly there is a 2004.25 + FICM (4 pin) in that 2003 engine.
