Running a predator only run the lite tow tune but have been on stock since having the problems . I didn't put in a suction tube . Starting last week i'm getting a P0103 mass air signal high it may be a wiring issue with the finger stick or a bad stick.I can't afford to drop it off at a shop and let someone spend my money on parts it don't need , everyone says to put injectors in it but i checked the rate and +2.3 was the highest in drive .Ive checked them when the truck limps and when it runs so good you can't brake it, all the same numbers.
low rail pressure

I was watching it at this time too haha. Great movie. Val Kilmer is an awesome Doc Holliday
DAMNIT IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
Coldest day in 20 years here. 2* and i had it plugged in all night, started up like a champ, warmed for 30, ran well until i shut if off at mcdonalds for like 2 mins. Started back up and that was it. Kept choking out on me. I added the second half of the bottle of power service and nothing. I start it up and it dies within 30 seconds. Not sure what to do to get home from work at 3

If you are gelled up get some 911 diesel additive and remove your fuel filter screw on with 911 in filter or replace filter with new one and add 911 then poor the rest of the bottle in the tank. You will need to bleed air out with fuel plunger on filter housing if not running a lift pump. After filter is replaced crank engine then depress plunger on filter housing until it gets hard next use a big flathead screw driver and crack the black bleeder screw loose to let air escape. Tighten bleeder and repeat process until all air is gone. Good luck.
Mine has started doing the same thing...after a long warm up on high idle it started throwing the 0087 code...help please as I am also on a tight budget right now. This is my daily driver and has never done this until the cold weather....added some of the 911 additive yesterday...no change.

Thanks. Did this. Worked like a charm. We got the LAST bottle of 911 at NAPA. Helps I know the manager from a shooting forum. He saved my ass. Took us about 15 minutes to replace the filter and 30 to bleed and prime the system to get it to start. It was stubborn but off it went.
We noticed it was definitely time for a new filter anyway, as my dash said 35% life. Im guessing this happens because of condensation built up in an old filter? I hope I wont have to do this every time its cold. I added a little 911 to the tank, filled the filter with it halfway too. Runs like a champ today, well I at least made it to work.
Glad that worked for ya. I run either power services or stanadyne in every tank of fuel year round. Out here in Wyo we have got some -25 - -30 below days this year and knock on wood no gelling up yet. It must be working.:thumb:
Awesome. You lucky man living in WY. My favorite state. I always try to make it to Frontier Days. Ill be moving to Colorado soon, and would like to eventually end up near Cheyenne Wy if I can find work. Maryland is a shithole.
Balance rates won't necessarily tell you for certain if your injectors are bad. You need to do a return rate test to see if there is one or more returning too much fuel back to the tank. That is what is going to cause a low rail pressure problem, and you can't check it with a scan tool.
thanks for the input thats the best feedback I've got on here everyone keeps saying about checking them with the scanner . So do they have to be removed to test them? if they're bad can they be rebuilt or dose the injector need replaced
You can test them in the truck. You just have to get some adapters to hook into the fuel return port. Kent Moore tool J-45873-30 is the kit of 4 adapters that you need. Once you have those you'll need some barb adapter fittings to thread into the side of those, some hose, and some graduated cylinders, or you can buy Kent Moore tool J-45873 which has all the hoses, fittings, and graduated cylinders (just to be clear, this kit does not include the adapters in J-45873-30).
If you want to do it the really cheap way, you can use one of the 90 degree return fittings from one of your injectors and test them one at a time, doing it this way can make a big mess though.
They should not return more than 5 mL during a 15 second crank cycle.
