Dummy plugs and standpipe replacement.
 

Hi there all. No start after replacing dummy plug and standpipe on driver's side. I used the starter wire to build oil pressure but no luck. Koeo dash oil gauge is at the bottom, but while cranking it goes up and goes down after 3-4 sec later when i let the ignition go. Ficm sync is 0 koeo. The truck had hot no start problems before i started to replace the dummy plug and standpipe on ds. But it used to start when cold with a little hard start problem within 3 sec.Any suggestions?

Thanks.

No i only removed the plugs and replaced them but one more thing, i bought the truck 1 year ago from someone, snd when i removed the bolts and reinstalled them at least 4 of them turning free snd 2 were different sizes. 1 8mm, and 1 10mm, and the valve cover is somewhat loose.i don't know if that causes no start?
Also i didn't change the plug and standpipe on passenger side yet.

Just a thought.....did the stand pipe come out in 2 pieces? Did you have to remove the HP rail? When I took this same project on, my SP separated and I did not have the special flare tool that grabs the lower half allowing for easy extraction keeping the HP rail seated and sealed in place. I had to remove the rail, then the lower half of the stand pipe. Upon re-installation, my arrogance got the best of me and I had to learn the hard way that torque specs are provided for a reason. My problem was that I over torqued the HP rail bolts which created a high pressure oil leak that did not exist before the SP & DP replacement.

My standpipe came in 1 piece but it was halfway separated. I didn't have to remove the oil rail but when i removed the standpipe the O ring was pinched, i installed a new standpie .

Ficmrepair.com thank you for the suggestions.i will try removing the relay and crank it. Maybe my plugs are not in all the way, i tried pushing them in as firm as i can.but how do i know if my ficm needs repair, ficm sync being 0 while cranking certifies that my logic board needs replacement or somethingelse?
thanks

Also Icp volt koeo .26, ipr 14.7, hpop while cranking goes up to 1280psi, and hpop koeo was very low like 70 psi and O ring was pinched when i first installed it on the standpipe where it separates. But i reinstalled another one with a good O ring.

The passenger side dummy plug is usually pegged as the most likely to fail of the four. Maybe you just met the perfect storm where the passenger side DP gave up right after you replaced the driver's side hardware. Buy yourself a stubby gear wrench (12mm I believe) for the lower passenger side valve cover bolts.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am gonna pull them out next. I bought this truck last year and its funny they already replaced the dummy plugs and standpipes with the updated ones. I had a no start when HOT issues, so i thought the O rings on the standpipe and the dummy plugs were gone. But they look like new when i pulled the ds plugs out so this only leaves me either lkke u said the passenger side plugs gone bad or something else like Ficm.
thanks

Or the STC fitting. That's probably the most likely culprit out of the bunch.

There are some other seals too that can fail in the high pressure oil system. You may want to look up "air test" and consider pursuing it before throwing more parts at it. If your SPs and DPs took a 12mm allen wrench to remove, you have the updated version. Everything I've read says there are very few problems out of the 12mm versions.

You will never get the engine to fire until you figure out the reason you have 0 sync.
Remove and reintall all three plugs on the FICM, should hear an audible click, or at least be able to tell the locking tabs are seated fully.

In order to get FICM sync, you need Injection Control Pressure over 500psi, cam sync, crank sync, and a lack of Keep Alive Memory codes. You listed your voltage KOEO on ICP of 0.26 - that is fine, even if 0.24 is more common. What is your ICP voltage during cranking? It should be over 1. User BISMIC (Mark Chambers, awesome guy, btw) posted a chart detailing what ICP voltage numbers corresponded to what ICP psi numbers. Your ICP psi numbers during cranking may be inferred and not actual.

So....
1. What is your ICP voltage during cranking?
2. What is your IPR duty cycle during cranking?
3. What is your cranking RPM?

Just be sure to have a battery charger hooked up during all of this cranking. I would hate to see you trash a FICM in this process. Step one is to get FICM sync. I doubt your FICM is yet bad from what you've said thus far.

Hope this helps!
