Ford 7.3 Passenger Bank Dead
Update: I cut the window for Hydra, and the problem is solved. The truck starts every time. I put 35 miles on it so far, and it is acting okay. It keeps throwing a glow plug 1 error, and I'm not sure why, as everything is new. It starts hot, cold, and in between. AC is 40 degrees and pumping... -

ok, weird issue. I have been driving the Ex in and out of the work area for weeks. I reassembled everything (interior, dash, etc.) and got the family together for the inaugural around-the-neighborhood test. I loaded everyone up, and guess what? Crank no Start. There's nothing like looking like... -

Status update: Power steering pump swapped, Pulley was so rusted it busted my tools, but got her done. AC was a total loss, so much crap in system had to change compressor, condenser, Front and rear evap, expansion valve, drier and orifice tube. Then it held vacuum overnight. Took 4.5 lbs of... -

Yes. Story goes it is a single family owned. Ran until it didn't then parked. Then son got truck running and it ran until it didn't. I bought it as a crank no start. Looks like the son started 'modding' the truck (there was 140 HP tune in hydra when I got it) and installed the typical 18y Old... -

TY for that link. That's awesome! I will budget for this soon. Quick update. Tires have been replaced. Brake fluid issues - Fluid is coming out greenish/black. So far, a complete flush has it less green greyer and I broke my vacuum pump. Repair kit on the way. Test (around the block driving)... -

I'm just using the tunes that came with the Fast Force Diesel stage 1 injectors. Not really sure where to go from there. It's seems to idle a bit high 700 and slightly rich for their base tune. P.S. I'm not running hot dog tunes, just base plus, a light tow, and fuel efficiency are loaded. We... -

Thank you for that I will try. The UVCH are Dorman and are the two part. At this point it needs to be driven before further diagnosing. I need to finish the safety inspection, tag and insure it. Also needs new tires and brakes bled. I will need 2-4 weeks to accomplish this due to funds. Once... -

Only about 30 min collectively. Update. Put new pass UVCH back on and buttoned up motor. Starts and runs after abnormally long crank. No smoke, slight miss, slight diesel smell from exhaust but I'm not crying from fumes. Put original FP spring back after I cut 1/8 in off and now back in the... -

hahahah I never actually checked that, but both my connectors are on top and that should be the upside, but I will verify. A bit of BETTER NEWS! After last night's correspondence I rage bought an amazon (yes I know not a ford product) engine harness. I swapped it out tonight and went through... -

I have not tested PCM to IDM harness. IDM harness to injectors tested fine. If I don't make headway this weekend, I will seriously consider shipping PCM, IDM, and hydra to dtc for testing. -

I did a couple of posts back. It's showing 6-10 volts during firing for both driver and passenger sides. Apparently you need an oscilloscope to see the waveform for the 120v because it happens so fast. What I read anyway. Is that an accurate statement? -

Latest update on this saga: Compression tests complete on 1,3,5,7 All are 425 to 450. Keep in mind this is a harbor freight gauge so may be less. Removed Hydra chip (with batts unhooked) Installed new (used) IDM Swapped old Ford UVHC to pass side Started truck - pass side still dead, no codes... -

I hear you, but I'm running out of options to test. No codes, everything passes resistance and continuity checks. I'll swap that UVCH tomorrow night and try to start it again. Am I at the swap injectors side to side stage? Wouldn't I need to replace all the Orings and crush washers again to... -

Wait a sec, I have the OEM (used) one from the driver side before I replaced it and it worked. I can try that one on the pass side after I compression check. I am running low on funds trying to get this thing going. -

Ok I'll do that once I verify compression. Parts were delayed coming in, now that I have them here is the latest. New (Used) IDM yields same results. Passenger side dead. Fuel pressure regulator was rebuilt with new housing, poppet and blue spring. My OTC gauge bounces around but its bouncing...
