Stroked95 10-04-2007, 01:21 PM Not sure if this is the right place for this.
Truck wont fire, but turns over:lame:. I will check the #22 fuse to see if it has shorted out. Already changed the cps. If I can't get this figured out, where is the closest shop with a clue to corvallis. Thanks guys
kainers 10-04-2007, 10:13 PM How about the IDM or PCM all that good stuff
gregrob 10-04-2007, 10:22 PM If Joe comes home from WA that way, he might throw auto enginuity on it.
You have a laptop? You could get AE for less than the shop bill, probably.
Pm Joe CSIPSD
kainers 10-04-2007, 10:27 PM Joe don't go home that way that I know of.
gregrob 10-04-2007, 10:40 PM Joe don't go home that way that I know of.
gotcha. Just a thought
Stroked95 10-05-2007, 04:17 AM Well checked all the fuses tonight, pulled the chip, checked the oil, still has 1/4 tank of fuel, cranks but wont start. Had it towed to the house tonight. Might be able to get a truck and trailer to take it to a shop, don't know where yet. What shop is Joe going to?
TerminatorEngineering 10-05-2007, 05:51 AM Tyler, I think Danny aka Powerstrokndually is near you? I think he said he was getting AutoE. Might try and PM him?
Kickin Y2K 10-05-2007, 05:25 PM There's a really good turbo guy in Corvallis:redspotdance:
Stroked95 10-06-2007, 12:07 AM There's a really good turbo guy in Corvallis:redspotdance:
Yeah too bad it wasn't turbo related..........wait a minute, maybe my wife will believe me if I told her it was. While I'm at it I'll tell her that it needs new head studs, valve springs and a bigger fuel pump:D
Thanks for the info Joey I might try him. Hopefully it isn't something I've overlooked I don't want everyone laughing at me:pointlaugh: Course if it is something simple I'll never admit to it;)
kainers 10-06-2007, 12:38 AM What happened prior to it not firing?
Stroked95 10-06-2007, 01:13 AM Super chity idle, no power under throttle with loss of power, then just died on me going down the road. There is sat for 3 days til I had it towed home last night.
00PSD1 10-06-2007, 02:04 AM was their any white smoke during these symptoms? My guess would be the UVCG (from previous experience)

Stroked95 10-06-2007, 04:12 AM no white smoke. I'll try my best to describe what happened. I started my truck up and headed for work. It had a super bad idle and no power. It was dark enough for headlights and I noticed they would go bright and dim, as in low light out put and higher light out put, not high beams and low beams. While driving down the road the truck continued to fall off on power and eventually died. I have replaced the cps, and checked all the fuses, to the best of my knowledge all fuses check out ok.
Stroked95 10-07-2007, 06:45 PM PM'd PwrStrknDlly and he's leaning towards the alternator, let you know what I find out.
TerminatorEngineering 10-08-2007, 03:35 AM Hmmm, IDM? You just need access to AutoE, and you'll find it fast.
DSALF250 10-08-2007, 03:48 AM Same symptoms I had when My alternator went south.
Charles 10-08-2007, 04:29 AM If you key the truck on what does the in-dash voltage gauge look like? I have driven on no alternator before and I loose everything else before I lose the engine. Like, radio goes blank, windows and door locks are nota, and she keeps on purrin.
If it doesn't turn out to be dead batterys from a toasted alternator, some things to check.
What's the fuel pressure, what's the oil pressure, what's the high pressure oil doing. If it ever fires try unplugging one UVC harness at a time and see if anything changes. If nothing changes when one is unplugged, but it completely stops running when the other is unplugged I would say one of the high-side outputs in the IDM went south.
But do check the vehicle voltage, that's a good start.
Keep us posted.
Stroked95 10-08-2007, 04:47 AM I'll have to check the volt meter. When I key the truck the radio and WTS light come on. As far as checking all the other stuff I will probably have to wait til this weekend until someone with AutoE can check it out. Thanks boss.
joebob3093 10-09-2007, 12:57 AM in the past i have taken all me stuff to performance authority, in bend
kainers 10-09-2007, 04:34 AM if that truck can stay down till next friday I'll be passing through.
CSIPSD 10-09-2007, 04:47 AM I'm not in the area right now... but will be starting a new job in Warrenton (astoria) next week... Like the others said, UVC is my first guess, but first get some voltage in the thing... Did Danny ever get AE???
Stroked95 10-09-2007, 05:33 AM Not yet on the AE.
Michael 10-16-2007, 11:39 PM Did you ever get it running? I've got AutoE, but I'm up in Portland.
Regards,
Michael Pliska
kainers 10-17-2007, 12:36 AM I scanned it but it would not connect 8/94 I think is the truck build date.I have a older version of AE.I was at a loss
Stroked95 10-17-2007, 02:27 AM What he^^ said. I plan to go through it this weekend, possibly fri.
Anyone else confirm connecting to AutoE with an early 95 or 94 PSD?
Stroked95 10-21-2007, 09:39 PM Finally got that SOB running. The cause...........a bad relay:doh::pointlaugh:
My fuel pump is set up to run through a relay and the pump wasn't coming on causing a horrible idle and loss of power which eventually led to it shutting off. I also had to buy two new batteries.
Now I can start spending money on fun stuff again:postwhore2:DI's new H2E up pipe kit:poke:
TerminatorEngineering 10-23-2007, 01:26 AM Awesome! Congrats!:ford::postwhore2:
Stroked95 10-23-2007, 01:50 AM A big thanks to Kainers for stopping by so late to run Auto E on my truck, and Ford Forgotten for giving me suggestions on chasing the problem down.
Thanks Joey for your help and suggestions as well as giving me a call to talk about the problem, and answering your phone so late, when mike gave you a ring. PwrStrknDlly thanks for answering all my PM's.
TerminatorEngineering 10-23-2007, 05:24 AM Anytime Tyler! I hate when fellow strokes are down, no matter where they are!
