Hey fellas, it’s been a while hope all is well. So Friday afternoon on my way home, my 2006 psd started shuttering and stalled out, like it wasn’t getting fuel, I picked up some motorcraft filters yesterday and just put them in. I just made it about a mile from my house and it did the same thing. Just for grins I had my Forscan plugged in while I was driving so I have the drive cycle saved, but I didn’t really see anything that stood out, any ideas?

Sounds like an injector

aration testing upper fuel bowel??

FICM and voltage ok

 

it looks like my fuel gauge has decided to not work properly, I looked in the upper filter bowl and it was empty, had my kid bring me a couple cans of fuel and it seems fine. I’m guessing the sending unit might be messed up

 

So basically the tank was empty but the gauge was saying just over 1/4 tank and the readout said 50 miles to empty. I’m not sure if there is a way to fix it, but I guess not running less than a half tank is the remedy for now.

 

 

Yeah man, been there for a couple years now. The Ex has a dead spot in the sending unit, and the 250 most likely has a broken foot that needs replacing. I just don't let them go below half because I haven't wanted to do the work yet.

Your problem might be the broken foot on the pickup. There's still a 1/4 tank left it just doesn't reach down into the fuel anymore. Whatever is it, the tank has to get opened up, unless you want to cut a hole for a sump system. Pics of this problem in this post link:

I got a Fleece to put in my truck, but there are full replacements of the standard style also available. I chose to replace the whole thing, my logic is the first one made it twenty years, the replacement probably will too and I don't want to open up the tank again if I can avoid it.

Right on fellas, I’ll probably just hold off for now, still a little cold and too much snow to mess with it now.
