Emergency advice needed

2002 F-350 4x4 7.3 PSD
My truck wouldnt start today so seeing how it had a recall for the CSP I got it towed to Ford.
They changed the CPS and it still wouldnt start so I left it there for them to check out.

They just phoned and said it was the "high pressure oil pump".
Im wondering how low oil pressure would prevent it from starting.

The quoted me almost $1200 for the pump and $1100 labour?
Does the prices sound right ?

Low oil pressure would keep the injectors from firing and thus it wouldn't start.

$1200 for the pump? I could have sworn I saw a post here somewhere and the guy said he paid $500 for one. Maybe I am wrong.

I would check www.powerstrokeshop.com and see how much they go for.

The injectors need the pressure to fire I do believe. As far as the price to replace and fix it I have no idea.

Get your truck outa there. Get the pump from the link Ron posted and do it yourself. Save the $1500+ for Mods.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just phoned and cancelled Ford from putting in the $1100 pump.
I phoned the place you gave me the link for they are closed until tomorrow.
For $800 I can wait until tomorrow.

Next question ......can it be changed by a backyard mechanic or are special tools needed?
Thanks again................

I would make dang sure it is the pump and not just a IPR or IPC gone south. These pumps are tough and a bad sensor could fool a not so smart mechanic. I know, most are super smart, but.........

Its a Ford Dealer that checked it out.
They changed the CSP because it was on recall anyway.
Whats a IPR and a IPC?

How did they come to the conclusion that it was the HPOP? I didn't think that one of those would go out just like that. I thought that it would show signs before just not working. Fuel Pump? Something else? I just don't know if I trust their diagnosis. Just my .02

IPR = Injector Pressure Relay. It is what controls the pressure from the HPOP to your injectors.

The charged me $304.76 to diagnois it......................so hopefully thats it.
How do you test the IPR?
Or is it cheap enough to just replace?
I just sent a tow truck to bring it home but it sounds like they already have something torn apart.

IPC was a typo. I'm sure Barry meant ICP. ICP is Injector Control Pressure sensor. Sends pressure reading to PCM.

...QUOTE]

No, that sounds a little goofy to me. Most of the guys on the forum call it labor! I'm sorry, I had to. Dear Lord, please forgive me and bless all those starving little pigmys down in New Ginuea.

As for the real problem. I don't have much of a clue, but when my #30 fuse went out it would just crank and crank and never start. My fuse didn't even look blown, but it was bad! It is a REALLY cheap check (but I have NO idea if it will help you!) If it did I would ask for my $375 back!!!!!!!!!!!! If he can't tell a fuse is bad...
