Bad IDM?

Jake, an idiot evidently. Hopefully we are about done finding all his 'treasures'. He only had the truck a few months, but that was plenty.

Bad IDM?

Sorry guys, forgot to report back this afternoon. Got to looking around and found a tax switcher. Under more investigation, found a switch up in the dash that was labeled 'main' and 'aux'. Dad was trying to trace down a wiring problem last week and may have bumped. Never could get the switcher...

Bad IDM?

Time to drop the tank. Not getting fuel to the pump. Stuck a hose in a tank of diesel and it runs. Even with the old idm with the codes. Think I'll leave that to the old man.

Bad IDM?

Old idm still shows same codes after the test. New one is clean. Buzz is good on all injectors. What am I missing? Motor give up finally? Had enough blow by to bounce the cap and started hard then idled rough before this.

That's why I was confused. And it's a few cylinders on each side.

Bad IDM?

It does have high pressure oil while cranking. I know that the motor needs changed, but ol' dad will drive it till it gives up. Think I might have an IDM that i could swap it out with. Guess I will give that a shot for now.

Bad IDM?

Ok, working on my Dad's 02 7.3. Guy he sold it to said it needed a motor, so dad bought it back half price. Ended up being 2.5 gallons low on oil, so no ICP. After we got it running it never would start right even after a 300-400 miles. Still started like crap. Does have blowby, but still ran...

Extremely low compression?

Engine is cold. It won't start. Dumped oil in the cylinder then it had 300+ in the cylinder that had 120 yesterday. Guess time to yank the motor.

Extremely low compression?

Glow plugs are out. 42 Pin connector is unpluggled. I checked compression with a gauge screwed into the glow plug hole in each cylinder. Then started cranking. I will check the air filter hose. Going to try the oil later this morning. Thanks guys.

Extremely low compression?

Ok, bought a truck that wouldn't run. Has good icp, injectors all sound good. Decided to check compression. On the driver side I got 280, 120, 80, 80. Seems odd that the motor could be that hurt. Haven't got the passenger side tore apart. Going to squirt some oil in tomorrow and see if it...

03 Excursion Wandering!

Ok, not sure if this is the right place, but I feel that it is probably due to some suspension. Anyway, 03 Excursion has about a 6" lift with 35" tires. I don't remember it wandering when we first got it about a year ago, but now it's no fun to drive. I feel completely out of control while...

97 Keeps dying!

Ok. First off I checked the oil today. Was about 3 quarts low. Topped it off and went and drove it. Died one twice in thirty minutes. Both times were sitting idling, not driving like last night. So I threw a ICP sensor that was laying around on and still has the idle surge and still died on me...

97 Keeps dying!

Ok, didn't have a chance to hook up my AE tonight, but I unplugged the ICP sensor and the idle surge smoothed out a little. Drove it and seemed real choppy but never died. When I let of the throttle the rpm's dip low but doesn't die. Hooked the sensor back up and it died three times in maybe 8...
