A few days ago I was cruising about 65 on the highway and all of a sudden got a dead pedal so I pulled over and as soon as I did the engine died and would not start for a few minutes but no check engine lights came on. It did this about 3 times during the day before finally a code was thrown. The code was a P0237 and said Turbocharger boost A circuit low. Then earlier today I got a dead pedal but the engine didn't die and a check engine light came on. That code said P0121 which said APPS range/performance. I know I'm probably looking at a new APPS because it doesn't come back to life until after i clear the code. A while back if I would tap the pedal it would come back. But my real concern is when it randomly dies, am I at the point where my lift pump is out and I'm only doing damage to my VP? I was changing my fuel filter the other day and had steady fuel from the fuel line coming out of the fuel filter housing so I didn't think lift pump but it may not be making enough pressure. I don't have the fuel pressure on my pulse because they weren't sending the fuel pressure units at the time I bought the ADR/pulse but I'm planning on getting one with my next check. Until then I'm gonna let the pickup sit til I know what the deal is.

 

P0216 is the code to look out for (VP Death Code).

 

You don't need to buy an APPS from cummins or Dodge; you can get an aftermarket one for a fraction of the price. Info here:

yeah if running an adrenaline and a stock lift pump its just a matter of time before your buying a whole new VP so i would get a new aftermarket lift pump,

This is a great deal for a FASS and its from one of our sponsors https://www.dieselbombers.com/sale/19542-fass-hpfp.html

Bosch VP44 Diesel Injection and Lift Pump for the 1998.5-2002 Dodge Cummins Diesel VP 44

Little more info about the VP44

 

the APPS is rolled all the way forward .48 volts is all it will give me but the tag says it should be at .595 volts

I'll try adjusting it again in the morning. But what's your take on the defueling thing?

 

Your Adrenaline/Pulse have an EGT probe/gauge built in?? IDK, but I would hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see what PSI the lift pump is running.

 

Yeah I've got it set to defuel at 1200* thats what i was my next move as soon as I can get one.
