Issues-issues-issues Engine Wont Turn Over
looks like i got lots of testing for this weekend woohoo.....
love yall........and love the site !





I'll keep yall posted about what happened this weekend
I want to thank yall tonz for the big help you've given me. Turned out to be bad starter motor!!!!! i finally got the EXPY firing up! now issues i got are: a lot of miss on the engine...............which i had before...........i recall a previous muffler shop told me i must change my cat converters as they were both bad.....could this be part of the issue? truck wasnt misssing untill i took it for a long drive one day and had the cats rewelded..........or could i have a crank sensor position sensor bad (friend told me)??
i am going to run a scan with a computer bud let me borrow (4000 bucks worth computer lol shops use-i hope is accurate!) then i am going to reply to yall with the codes etc.........
In the meantime if yall got any suggestions, i'd really appriciate all.
Thanks to you all, looks like we are finally getting this baby back up running......sorry i've taken a bit to answer back.....been saving up money to buy parts.....
Any ideas wut code means? i searched on forums and different peeps say different things.......i appricate all ur help...
like temperature regulator etc......could all of this be part of my bad catalytic converters?
Buddy of mines told me to remove em to do testing and see if system misses less because it could be part of the issues....
Thanks all for your replies i really appriciate.

now the codes obtained are less and are: p1000 and p1780...
your help is much appricated all............now i also thought of changing the spark plus and checking the coil packs to see if they are good.......
any suggestions how to remove those coil packs?.....neverhave......
thanks!
When you run the KOER self test you need to cycle the TCS (Transmission Control Switch - aka OD switch in the end of the gear shift lever.) If not cycled, DTC P1780 is set. (So either you forgot to cycle the TCS, or you cycled it and its not working.)
You mean the overdrive button at end of bar correct?
if so yes i did not cycle as it didnt told me to somehow..........
Sigh if that's wut u mean it eliminates one hassle out of me and if i get no codes later......
should i just change my spark plugs and check for bad COPS? Truck still missing....
Thanks a bunch!
LOL my post is like an ALL DATA manual full with great info, thanks a bunch guys!
Here's what happened recently:
i cut the muffler right before the cat converters on each side. The missing has gotten a bit better however is still missing..........
I scan now and i get only p1000, yes you were all right p1780 was coming out because of me..i wasnt pressing the overdrive button...heck i learned from my mistake.
Anyhow this p1000 code keeps coming out and is not allowing me to procceed in computer with my diagnostics to scan for codes. I do have the check engine light on...........
Any way to get rid of it? I clear it and it doesnt go away.
Thanks let me know your opinions.....
HERE"S SOMETHING I FOUND....
Ford Motor Company Driving Cycle
<SMALL>Description of OBDII Drive Cycle</SMALL>
<SMALL>The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBDII monitors and to clear the Ford P1000, I/M readiness code. To complete a specific monitor for repair verification, follow steps 1 through 4, then continue with the step described by the appropriate monitor found under the "OBDII Monitor Exercised" column. When the ambient air temperature is outside 4.4 to 37.8°C (40 to 100° F), or the altitude is above 2438 meters (8000 feet), the EVAP monitor will not run. If the P1000 code must be cleared in these conditions, the PCM must detect them once (twice on some applications) before the EVAP monitor can be "bypassed" and the P1000 cleared. The Evap "bypassing" procedure is described in the following drive cycle.</SMALL>
<SMALL>The OBDII Drive Cycle will be performed using a scan tool. Consult the instruction manual for each described function. NOTE: A detailed description of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset is found in this section, refer to the table of contents.</SMALL>
<SMALL>Drive Cycle Recommendations:</SMALL>
- Most OBDII monitors will complete more readily using a "steady foot" driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in a "smooth" fashion will minimize the time required for monitor completion.
- Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 fill with 3/4 fill being the most desirable.
- The Evaporative Monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize "fuel slosh".
<SMALL>STRICT OBSERVANCE OF POSTED SPEED LIMITS AND ATTENTION TO DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE MANDATORY WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DRIVE CYCLES.</SMALL>
<SMALL>For best results, follow each of the following steps as accurately as possible:</SMALL>
