2000 Cummins up and died?
 

Hey my buddy has a 00 cummins auto with 200,000+miles. Today it just quit him on the highway, he said it didnt sputter or nothin just dead. He claims he has fuel to the IP. I am gonna get my scantool tomorow and check it out. Any ideas on this would be awesom! I will post my findings. Thanks, Chad.

Having pressure at the vp means nothing, if he cracks a line, cranks it, and gets no fuel, then you know the pump quit. 99 out of 100 times when a 24v "up and dies" its because the pump went. He could pull the codes with the key trick.

Ok well i will check the injector lines for fuel. Would you be so kind to inform me about the "Key Trick".

Sure .. Insert your ignition key. Turn it to the OFF position. Now turn it ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON in less than 5 seconds. Leave it in the on position. In the odometer display it should start to display codes. It starts with P PCU errors. This is to notify you that the error codes are coming. They would show up as Pnnnn. All error codes are listed in 4 digits. Write down all Pnnnn error codes that are displayed. P Done will notify that P PCU error code list is done. Now we display P ECU errors. This is to notify you that the error codes are coming. They would show up as Pnnnn. All error codes are listed in 4 digits. Write down all Pnnnn error codes that are displayed. This is notify that P ECU error code list is done. Now turn your key off.

Always make sure you see P Done Twice! It really common to see on the forums where some says "Oh my I got a P1693 and that's it" It's impossible to have just a P1693 error code by itself. So more that likely the owner saw the P Done and shut the key off and didn't allow for the ECM to display its errors.

Okay, he took care of it a split second before me :D But you wont see p-done twice because it's a 2000 :tu:

Ok i will sure give it a try! Thanks. Chad.

:c::tu:

Its sure crazy how each make is so much different! I just got through fixing a 99 stroke, that high pressure oil system is so much different. One guy looked at it and said it needed a new hpop and was gonna cost 3 grand! I finally traced it down to a no fuel issue. Did not take any new parts either.

Did you just mention a powerstroke in the 24v forum :raygun:

Not enought oil no firing of injectors.

I know im sorry:argh: But i have a 95 stroker too so i cant talk shite any more...

Well i looked at the rig today, my buddy hopped in and cranked it over it sputtered a couple of times, puffed out some blue smoke and fired up and ran just fine. He said it got low on fuel the same day it died but he claims he has ran it lower. Anyways they put some fuel in and it still wouldnt fire the day before. My scan tool gave me 2 codes, P1689 and 1698, the 1689 said no communitcation between ECM and injection pump, 1698 said somethin about no bus transmission. Then i did the key test, I got P1694, 1693, 1687. So there ya go! Thanks in advance.

1689 :td: Tell him don't be in denial, the vp is beginning its end.

The key trick gave you some interesting codes all relating to electronic non-communication in the PCM.

Ok thats all i need to know i will let him know to be prepared. What is the goin price for a stock vp44?
