    Even more problems. Is my FICM fried?

    Hey guys, we've been battling some gremlins in the truck after a HG and injector job (see my previous posts). Well, I think all my issues in the previous posts are due to a failing FICM because the truck went into limp mode this weekend and we had to get it towed. Truck started, but only ran on...

    Thanks for all your input guys. I'm going to give it one more detailed once over for loose lines, wires, pins etc, and if everything checks out, run a return rate test and see how that plays out. I'll post back the results. This truck is gonna be the death of me :o

    Sometimes it does have trouble starting, but it's random. At times it fires up like a champ, others it just cranks for a while then starts, and now it's starting to crank for awhile, start, then studder and die. Then it's back to starting just fine.:confused:

    Alright guys, I did find a loose fuel line and thought that fixed the issue, but it did not. Now it's intermittently stalling. Would a high return rate on the injectors cause stalling? I'm starting to get frustrated.

    Hard Start

    Well, I think I may have found a potential culprit, in an unfortunate way. Was on my way back to work from lunch just now and I hear a pop and the truck goes into instant limp mode, and sounds like a kubota tractor. 12 trouble codes pulled. P0201, 0204, 0206, 0207 etc etc....so an electrical...

    Lol no worries! I simply appreciate all the help trying to troubleshoot. Every little bit helps point me in the right direction.

    Good to know it should be hard with a lift pump, that's what I thought but questioned my understanding with what 2004lb7 said, I'm no expert on this stuff by any means lol All filters replaced while doing injectors and HGs. I used bosch remans from Lincoln diesel. Possible they are bad I...

    Well hell, that's concerning it's not supposed to stay hard. Even with the lift pump it should soften up? I'll double check the lines and put a vacuum gauge on it, I know exactly where that port is that you speak of.

    lb7 project

    Nice work so far! My dad and I want to find a Dmax on the cheap to turn into a project truck like this.

    About 3/4 of a tank right now. It's funny you mention a lope because it did have a lope when I first got it put back together, ended up being the FPR though. Replaced that and the lope went away completely.

    Primer bulb is rock hard when running, I can't hardly get the thing to even move lol. Where would I put the vacuum gauge on it? Would that help identify if there is an air leak somewhere?

    Hard Start

    Hey guys, I just got the truck back together after doing HGs and injectors. Truck started fine for the first few test idles, put it through its first WOT tests last night, ran like a dream. Started the truck this morning no problem, went to work and it started fine again at the end of the day...

    Think I screwed up. Gouged the head. Am I screwed?

    Thanks for taking a look guys. I've decide to just smooth out the edges and run it. After lining the gasket up on the head, it appears to be completely in the combustion chamber rather than in a seal point. It's a roll of the dice, but I'm going to give it a shot! Wish me luck.
