FORD REFLASH PROBLEM NEED HELP
I have a 2003 ford f350 6.0. I took it to the dealership the other day to get a icp sensor because mine went out. While I was there the service guy informed me I had a recall for a reflash on my truck so I set up the an appointment for last thursday to get the truck reflashed. Now mind you I have a quadzilla quadpack programmer on it. I brought the truck in to get flashed and they informed me they would need to disconnect the programmer which I agreed too. About 2 hours later with reflashed completed they told me the truck was good too go. I left the dealership and noticed that the power wasnt the same, like it was knocked down a notch or two. Then today I figured well I'll clean my egr valve. I cleaned it up and put it back in. About 1 hour later i had to run to the store, on my way i noticed that it was running poorly still. I came to a stop sign and the truck shut completely off and would not turn back on. It would turn over but not start. I had the truck towed to ford and dropped off right infront of their bay door. I didnt have a problem except for the icp sensor before the reflash and the icp sensor has already been put in. Does anyone know what it could possibly be?

so ford said that i possibly have a hpop that has gone bad or a ipr valve thats gone bad they are running a diagnostic on it. but they said the flash had nothing to do with it...i dont understand how the truck was fine before the flash and after it just started running sluggish. but i will update when i know more..

oh quick question may or may not be related to issue at hand...i bought this truck about a month ago and when i bought it there was a CEL on...the dealer said that it was a sensor in the glove box? well when i picked up the truck the CEL was gone and hasnt come back....what i guess im asking is there a sensor in the glove box area that would make the CEL turn on?

yeah never heard that either...and when it was warm yeah i replaced the icp cause it was leakin out the sensor and it was still doing it so i figured the hpop...and the glove box thing i looked at them like they were crazy but figured since it didnt come back it was no worries...

I believe that part of the procedure to identify an HPOP leak is to install block off tools in the oil rail to isolate where the problem is.
Sensor in the glove box - man I hope that was the SA and not the Tech!
oh yeah .............
Add me to the list recommending cheezit. Tow it if you have to!
