Message: [QUOTE="6.0 Tech, post: 1334626, member: 23001"] Check the obvious first, leaks, front end, fluid condition, etc. Pull codes, do a relative compression and power balance if you can with that scanner. Drive it an get it hot, then remove the degas cap, and drive it hard again. Remove the cap again, and see how much pressure is there. If its not much, the head gaskets will be good, if there is a ton, youll more than likely be looking at pulling heads in the near future. Check boost and vgtdc while driving as well, a stocker will pull 24-27 psi, and vgt shouldnt really go below 30% or so while accelerating to 75 or so. If it drops to 14.99 or at idle sits at 84.99 the turbo is sticking. Also check all the pressure sensor pids for bias, ford says 1.5 psi difference is ok, i typically see around .5 psi at the most. Also do a hot restart after it sits for about 10 minutes to se if any hi pressure leaks. If possible start it cold while doing a power balance, and do an injector click test before that. Check ficm voltage as well. Hope this helps some :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
