IPR valve issue

Wanted to share what happened today. Truck basically lost power and wouldn’t go over 2k RPMs. (Roughly)

searched the threads and figured it was my IPR valve. Opened the hood and found the nut laying in the valley of the block. I’m hoping that will fix my issue. I’ll keep you updated. Then nut is in the red circle of the picture.

That tin nut will make the difference. If the magnetic solenoid is on the wrong spot of the IPR shaft, it can't do it's job. Hope it solves your problem.

Also, your will it start videos are very entertaining. Keep up the great work.

it came out of a E350 Ambulance from what I was told it’s in 95 F350. Truck shows 359k but one of the previous owners said motor was around 140k

so far this is the only issue I’ve encountered, engine wise.
