Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 290681, member: 578"] Fuel is a little old but not much and I did add additive to my fuel that prevents most issues. But I very much appreciate the idea even if its a less likely possibility. I did get another code I did not list and think it was part of a new issue I ended up with. I had gotten a code P1705- Trans. Range not indicating park or neutral during test. This is almost always the TRS that is on the trans drivers side and the shifter linkage goes to it. After driving it some I started to get a stumble and surge when taking off from a stop. One time it even stalled. The funny thing was the idle actually had improved some when this started to happen. Not perfect but a bit better. This was somewhat overshadowed by a bone head mistake I made. Matt had sent me a new tune to burn to see if he could tune the idle quality better. I have a TS burner. Put the chip in. As I only wanted to change the first position tune without thinking I chose position 1 in the program did a erase, program, verify. Issue being that the program uses that choice to tell it what the total number of positions you have on your chip not the position you want to program. Its actually somewhat confusing but I know better. That basically unformatted the rest of the chip and likely made even the first tune position somewhat screwy. So when I installed it I ended up with no start in all the other positions and had to reset the key to get it to start even in position 1. So who knows how much that was screwing with things while I was driving it the last test drive. Nearest Ford dealer is 25-30 miles from me out here. I figured to save a ton of fuel I would just pick up anything I could possibility need short of Injectors or IDM etc. I picked up: 8 Glow Plugs 1 Glow Plug Module (damn are they $$$$ compared to a relay) 2 Under Valve Cover Harness 1 Transmission Range Sensor Clerk said I can return anything I do not use. That gets added to the new IPR and ICP. That's a very quick way to spend $800+ even with my fleet discount. :fustrate: Hopefully I will not need much of it. But we all know how that goes.:doh: I got the chip reprogrammed correctly now so that goes back in. I am pulling the IDM connectors to check all the electrical and will replace anything I find. If I pull the VC all the GP will be replaced as I#6 is showing a code. [/QUOTE]
