Nice find Bill. I tore into an FICM today to see if I could see what actually fails. The truck it came off of had all 4 passenger side injectors not firing. I think the things are called capacitors (they are cylinders things that look like mini grain silos inside the FICM)(Best way I can describe them because I am electronic illiterate!). One side was completely normal looking and on the other group the what I guess is glue was a little black and had a burnt smell. I will try to load some pics tomorrow

Somebody do a logic check for me: Fuel never touches the upper spool valve, correct?

Related post in the biodiesel forum; Ford is claiming that bio contaminates the upper spool valve. I smell a cop-out here....
