2002 powerstroke rough running
Truck ran fine until wednesday. On the way home from work engine startedmissing and then lossed all power. Made it home under very minnimal power. Engine idles VERY rough and seems to be missing on some cylinders.
I changed the oil and filter as someone told me that this will cause injector issues. Also changed fuel filter (some dirt in bottom) and air filter.
Added diesel treat to tank with extra...
Still no joy!! Idle is very rough and missing/skipping..no power when put in gear..
Any suggestions would be appreciated before I bring it to the dealer..one month left on engine warranty.

Welcome to FTE doocat
UVC connector.Under Valve Cover connector. if they become loose it will happen, do you get SES light poping on your dash?
well if its still under warranty have them do it.
. why bother you head and worry, warranty will take care of it. dont spend you money for unnecesery diagnostics to somone ealse.
but it sounds like UVC connector or IDM

If the SES light is the engine light on the dash then yes it is on. I just tried to start is this morning thinking a little power stroke fairy came down last night and fixed it and after cycling the glow plugs twice (was 35 degrees here this morning) the darn thing will not start. It spits and pops like it wants too but didn't. Sort of sounds as though it is out of fuel but tank is 1/2 and fuel pump is running then pressurizes and shuts off so don't think that is it.

Had the same problem with mine.. I read the fault codes and got a P1316. It ended being what Pete says above, the under the valve cover 9 pin plastic connectors were just loose.. There are junk.
Get an ohm meter (get a digital readout), you can check your glow plugs/injectors by unconnecting the 9 pin connectors at both of the valve covers (near top edge)(before removing the covers).
and use the following info:
GGIICIIGG
G = Glow Plug
I = Injector +
C = Injector -
Ohms between the G and block Ground should be 0.1 - 2.0 ohms.
Ohms between the I and C one at a time if one or more is > 5 ohms, it will point to the which gasket connector is open and not making connection.. or UVC harness being shorted.
I just made a shim for each side and slipped under the plastic locking tabs.. Total repair cost = $0..

Thanks,

Thanks for the input I am going to check the connector with a meter and see how it reads.
I'll let you know, Craig

I love when a plan comes together... ! When you have time you should pull the pass. side also.. mine was also loose but just making contact.. I think we saved you some big bucks by not taking your truck in for repair. . You should think about joining us as a supporter..
