Message: [QUOTE="SAVAGE_DIESEL, post: 1502180, member: 24220"] I got the truck fired up and it is running was running great until I put my TS 6 chip back in to use the High Idle. Do they ever become corrupted not that it doesn't seem to do what it should it just seems that the truck ran better as a diesel without it. Does that make any sense? Advice (practical) What I repaired and did...... After going through a million and one crazy scenarios I just said screw it. I am an all around figure it out type mechanic. The truck had fuel in the bowl but it seemed to not be getting any more and It took about a mile until it broke up enough to stall. I have had a UVCH plug burn up on me the truck ran like **** lost all power but it still ran.. So I dropped the tank went through that seemed fine repaired a few obvious leaky areas and moved on to the front. Pulled the FB went through it. Replaced O rings checked screens Yanked the FB heater mostly because I broke it... then shimmed my spring while I was in there Re assembled and tried to fire the truck. No GO!! So then I went to the EBPV due to the error code mentioning it. It was clogged SOLID!!!! all the way to the fitting on the manifold. So I removed all of that tried to clean it lost patience with that stupid idea. Bent up some brake line and replaced it. Once again a No GO on starting... So now I know its time for that goofy PIA Pump. couldn't find my wrench most likely it has found a home in someone else's box. so after the purchase of a wrench I began removal of the pump for a basic inspection. I couldn't get it to budge Finally it broke off. I think I woke the neighbors with the amount of curse words and their volume. But when I looked the stem had broke as well. SO after some careful planning I got a very strong retrieval mag and a set of needle nose vice grips a Map gas torch and began to play the game of operation with a powerstroke. LOL it worked I got it all out with no buzzer or red nose. I went and got a new pump Cheap DELPHI one with a Lifetime warranty. (I know that they only offer that because it will break). But I am working with limited funds here hence the 25 year old truck. I then cleaned all plugs re pinned a few and moved forward. After a lot of cranking the truck finally lit off man she was angry. But it smoothed out and ran great. I filled her up and washed up for work in 4 hours the next morning. On my way home I blew the Drivers side (RH) pressure return fuel line from the head and let me tell you what there was Fuel every where I dumped about half a tank before getting home. I had napa make me up a new set of lines and so far so good. [/QUOTE]
