Have you ruled out ICP?
IPR can cause these issues and so can the EBP.
The EBP can be bad, plugged tube or wire harness chaffed. I would pull the EBP sensor, look for wire chaffing and make sure the EBP tube was clear.

Stopped by the dealer and the Tech wasn't available and the SA didn't know what code was thrown. Now I'm concerned that they're chasing their tail on this and relying on the Ford Hotline for direction.
I've got to stop by on Monday AM and demand to meet the Tech and hear what he has to say.
Thanks for all of the ideas and opinions guys. I really do appreciate that!

Russ, who did you take it to? It's too bad that our helpful diesel tech Bud isn't at Tuttle-click any more. I thought that you had the STC fitting done when our trucks were in 1.5 years ago? Did you have the inductive heat flash done recently? Those are definitely eating up the FICM's recently and could cause your problems along with a laundry list of other things. Good luck!

Hey Donny, it's at Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park.
I don't know what flash it has now but I can hear a definite buzzing sound from underneath the hood, along with the fuel pump and vacuum pump, when I turn the key to 'on'.

The Tech's verdict: Fuel pump needs replacement. The SA said the Tech also checked the STC fitting and stated it's OK.
I'll pick it up Wednesday and it better run like a friggin' race horse!

Based on the problems it was having I changed both fuel filters 2 weeks ago hoping that would cure it. I told the SA that so they'll just put those back in the new unit. Of course, I didn't ask if this would be covered by the 5yr/100K engine warranty....
They are covering the rental vehicle so it's not all bad. If you see a white Nissan Sentra smokin' the tires, gettin' sideways and blastin' country music it's NOT me!

high pressure lines

IMO - you are covered.

I guess today's the big day so let us know if it can give Rachel Alexandra some competition. That's one bad filly there.
