Message: [QUOTE="JohnDeereFarmer, post: 537549, member: 9351"] Alrighty after running AE on it for awhile today here are my results: Cold start, first crank session (only 10 seconds) dont know wtf happened. didnt even seem like it was trying to start, icp was some weird number really low crazy reading. Second session turned key off back on icp was instant. fired in less than 4 seconds, still a little slow but it is 40ish degress. Had white smoke for about 30 seconds but thats also what i expect on a cold 7.3 While warming up the ICP fluctuated like crazy while duty cycle remained the same (13ish%) if i recall correctly. Unplugged ICP after monitoring a bit and it leveled off. Took it for a run with ICP unplugged ran really well actually. DC was about 35% with about 2100PSI from 25-55 about 3/4 throttle (dont wanna get a ticket on base), this was all in DD tune. Also noticed i was not getting SES light in ANY tune and the high idle tune idled solid. Came back plugged ICP back in (truck warm at this point) and everything remained the same. However there is a SLIGHT lope in the idle from 667 RPM up to 697 RPM VERY slow lope though hardly noticeable, but i dont like it. Now heres the kicker. My oil cooler is either leaking REALLY BAD or i have some big splits in my injector cups. I put a new de-gas resevoir on it (the clear one) and it has about 1" of black **** on top, doesnt look or smell like diesel mixing, which leads me to believe i need to re-seal the oil cooler which im gonna order the kit from bob and should tackle it after the first. Another thing (think i found my reason for weird sound when starter hits) the idiots forgot to put my tranny inspection plate back on, honest mistake but still a mistake, the plate is buried under my vast assortment of parts in the truck, whether or not the bolts are there has yet to be determined, so ill be trying to order those bolts from ford as well. I think im just hearing the more distinct metal on metal sound because the inspection plate isnt blocking or distorting the sound Another thing i wanna ask is, when i was pulling the motor i broke the green line that runs from intake to spider, and forgot all about it, will this have impact or trucks running/performance? I have a brand new ICP sensor i may throw on for peace of mind, later this week but im much happier with it today than it was when i started it last night im sub 30 degree temps (3 crank sessions), Also sorry for no exact AE #'s couldnt hardly read the screen with glare while driving and im still learning to use it, so if those sound WAY OFF they could just be me not seeing the number correctly.
