My truck sat for a few days while I waited on a new radiator to ship. After putting the radiator in, it would not start. I knew the GP were bad just been avoiding changing them. I knocked out the GPR as well trying to start it, so I replaced the GPR and GP. Still no start, so I then stopped by the stealer bought a cam sensor, nothing I was then told to try the ICP sensor and still nothing. My guess at this point would be the injector pump, I have tested everything up to the GP and its all good. I pulled the filter cap off to see if I was getting fuel, yes getting fuel. I'm lost! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Take the plug off the top of the HPOP and look to see how low the oil is. You might need to add oil so it is about 3/4" from the top.

 

I did notice the oil was really low the other day when I parked it, but I added oil could that still be possible? I'm faily new to diesels where is the HPOP located?

 

Underneath the plastic powerstroke cover between the AC pump and the alternator in front of the fuel filter is the the HPOP. It's the silver rectangle in the photo. There is a hex fill plug that you remove to see the oil level.

 

Here's what you would get if you went to a stealership:

1. Sufficient clean fuel- this includes fuel filter restriction, fuel in filter bowl, etc.
2. Check engine oil level
3. Intake restriction (air filter)
4. KOEO test to retrieve trouble codes
5. Injector buzz test
6. Fuel pressure test- check pressure with gauge
7. Fuel pump inlet restriction check
8. KOER test
9. ICP pressure test
10. Crankcase pressure test
11. Cylinder contribution test
12. Exhaust restriction check
13. Boost pressure test

You can do these tests with an AE scanner. It is cheaper to buy the scanner form Clay at Riff Raff than to go to a dealership to run these tests.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Make sure that you are getting 10.5 Volts minimum when cranking this is the miniumum voltage that the IDM needs to see in order to fire the injectors

 

How do i check that and where I do have a volt meter.

 

Check at the battery while cranking. You don't have a meter on the truck, you need to use the one in your tool box.

 

LOL I was saying I have one in the tool box, I checked the oil level in the HPOP it was like an inch and half from the top. Also after putting the plug back in I gave it a small squirt of starting fluid it cranked up and died.

 

NEVER use starting fluid on an engine with glow plugs. You could bust things up inside, doing that.

 

I knew it wasnt good for it thats why I just gave it a slight mist, only to see if the darn thing would start up. Thanks for having concern and not being rude!

 

Where can I get an AE? Thanks!

 

This is where we get ours. Best price you will find. LINK

 

Ok for all the tests I need to run is there anything else I need to run them? Or just the package for $359.97, that is the enhanced bundle correct?
