yep, i heard it running guys. this engine is not running good at operating temp. it sounds like the ICP is all over the place and like its missing a couple cylinders.

Wait for it to cool off and call me then start it. i wanna hear it when its cooled down. i'm still at a loss.

I had him unplug the EOT when it was running all messed up and he reported that it changed nothing. if it changed nothing would the sensor be bad??? i'm not sure what happens when the EOT sensor is bad and tells the PCM the oil is like 1* or something. this truck has new IPR o-rings, ICP, FPR shim, new UVCH, new injector o-rings, and a CPS i believe. this thing has got me baffled...

Also guys. on his truck the EBPV is unplugged, the fuel heater is unplugged, and the exhaust back pressure sensor is busted. like it's physically busted all up. don't think the EBP sensor makes much difference tho... hopefully someone else has some ideas b/c i'm out of ideas at this point.

Fault Detection/Management

An EOT signal that is detected out of range high or low by the PCM will cause the PCM to ignore the EOT signal and default to a 212°F (100°C) value for engine oil temperature. The CHECK engine lamp will also be illuminated as long as the fault condition exists.

My assumption here is if the EOT sensor is unplugged the above condition exists. Did the CEL come on when that sensor was unplugged? My initial thoughts were since it was heat related, and everything else done to the rig, it probably could be the EOT sensor. However guess that is out the window now.

All the 3 wire sensors are powered by vref +5 volts from the PCM. If the EBP sensor is all damaged up like you indicated I would unplug it and isolate it as a possible cause.

It could be the CPS to cam gear clearance, a heat thing. If it was me and I had no shims I would take some tin foil, fold it and make one for a quick /dirty test.

WAG, Injector O-rings?
Are you sure that your CEL works?
Maybe the IPR is bad. I know its rare, but the non rare problems aren't the trouble.

Check the fuel presure when it starts running like crap.
Rule out the fuel first. Then move to the checking oil.

i should have told y'all last night that the CEL came on last night when it started running like crap. i don't know if it was before, but now it is. Thanks for y'alls responses. i simply haven't been able to think of any other reasons this truck would be doing this.

Hussler, the CEL was on before the EOT sensor was unplugged and it changed nothing in the way it ran. i would assume if it defaults to 212* then there shouldn't be any problems since nothing changed when it was unplugged and it defaulted to 212*. You are also correct in that it could be CPS air gap.

So do this, check fuel pressure when running badly, if fuel pressure is good, then move on to checking oil related problems like check HPOP rez level when running badly and stuff.

I would clear the codes.
Then drive until it cel's,
then pull the codes.

You could have induced some codes.
On a wag the codes will be oil or idm (inj)

Forget about the fuel pressure check.
It will not cause a cel. Get it on a real
scan that can read idm codes.
Run a buzz and cc test.
