bad ending

well after a great trip my truck made it 200 miles, almost home i pulled in for fuel, and after it started great, then i pull out to the stop light and it just shuts off like i turned the key off. so i try to restart it amd it barly cranks and runs soo rough and will die if i dont give it gas. so i started to think bad feull. so i drained some and it appered fine, so i pullesd the codes, one was p1316 and the other p0603. so i didnt know what to do i was 150 miles form home and AAA will only tow my truck, so i had to pay to have my boat towed the rest of the way and my truck was droped off at ford. i havent herad anything form them yet so wanted to know what some of you thought. thanks

Bad alternator? Since the motor was warm it was easy to start but that took the last out of the batteries. Next start was slow and since there was low power, the ICP and IPR would be affected which would affect fuel delivery. Just a theory. Hope it isn't anything major and is a quick and easy fix. Heck of a way to end a trip.

Me thinks Mark is closer to the point. p0603 is usually a loss of power to the PCM eg battery supply

Surprises me AAA didn't tow the boat too. We broke down once heading camping. They towed us the remainder 30 miles with truck and 26' travel trailer in tow to our remote camping spot. He even offered to come back up if we didn't get if fixed over the weekend. I've had AAA ever since.

Me too. 603 is a common code with chips/tuners.

Is Ford going to fix it, or just give you an estimate? Pull the valve covers, plug the connector back in, add a shim and your problem is fixed. Don't know what Ford would charge to do this work. Probably sell you a new harness and a bunch of labor.

I don't know how busy that station is, but try running back there and filling a 5 gallon can with their diesel, as a sample. Take it to the Ford dealer and have them diagnose it again. Worth a shot.

I would think you could drain your tank and flush it yourself a lot cheaper than $700. Bring it over here and I'll do it for $500!
