hard start,when it does start,it only runs for a few mins.,it does have a hard code 2285. thanks for any help

 

Do you know if your truck is a early or late build '04?

If you are still under warranty take it to the dealer. The ICP sensor and/or connector is probably bad and needs replacement.

 

it is a early build

 

Thats what I expected. The ICP sensor is on the back of the motor and a pain to get to. This is a common issue with the early 6.0L's and why the ICP sensor is now on the valve cover.

 

bought icp sensor,will try ad put in tonight. thanks for your help.

 

Hope all goes well...

 

Welcome to FTE, firefighter!

(moved to 6.0L PSD section)

 

changed icp sensor,took care of the light.still starts up ,runs about a min. the it starts running bab and dies out. has other codes,263,284,308and a hec-v126e. also while it is running you can push the pedel down and the engine doesnt respond. any help whould be great.THANKS

 

Did you replace just the sensor or did it include the 3 wire pig tail, crimps/butt splices and heat shrink tube?

 

pig tail too

 

I don't know if you checked or not but heres a link to some codes found in the tech folder https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/...esel_Codes.html

Hope this helps

 

thanks for your help

 

The three codes you listed probably popped just before she died. Two of the codes are for cylindar balance issues on 1 and 8 and the other code is for a missfire on 8.

The HEC one is new to me though.

 

thank you for your help

 

Sounds stupid, but did you double check all your wiring and connections. Have you wiggled the connection during the time that the truck runs to see if it dies or sets the 2285 code again?
