HELP! truck died
last night driving around town the truck started to sputter and died out a bit, but it would catch and keep running.. did that for about 4 miles, then it was fine.. I thought it would a clogged fuel filter, so I went to town today and picked one up, on the way home, same deal, 45MPH it would sputter and seem to stall, then it up and died.. and now it will crank but won't start.. no white smoke from the pipe, tach is showing RPM's, oil level is fine, changed the fuel filter and the old one didn't seem that dirty.. put power sevice in the 1/8 tank of fuel I had left before I went to town.. also throwing two codes p0340 & p1211
I need this truck back on the road by tomorrow.. so if ya'll could give me some help it would be GREAT! thanks..

340 is cam sensor codes, 1211 is icp, unplug your icp and see if it starts, also check your ipr regulator on back of the high pressure pump near the bottom, see if the nut came loose on it, also check the wires for being shorted together, after time the oil and heat causes the insulation to crack and the wires melt together

ok, the 1211 is defintaly the problem since you said the rpm is moving, when the trucks show stumbling and stalling problems such as you had the 340 can set. my money is on an oil problem, if the wires and nut look good check the resevoir for oil

I looked for the IPR regulator, but I'm not sure what it looks like.. so I couldn't really find it. check over all the wires and none look melted at all. also unpluged the FPR and she fired right up.. when I tried that 20 minutes before I got nothin'.. so I guess I'll take it for a drive and dump some green into the tank ($$) and see if it acts up on the drive..

i will post one in a sec, what are you calling the fpr? the regulator is mechanical on these trucks, nothing to unplug....?
your oil level is ok, 1/4 inch is the rough spec.

no, the two bolt heads are hold downs for fuel lines, you want the piece that is dead center of the pic, it has the 2 wires coming out of the black connector with the rusty clip over top of it, just behind it is a 3/4 nut that comes loose sometimes, it will cause intermittant loss of power or full stall/nostart conditions depending on how it slides overitself when the nut falls off
