I just bought a 97 f350 with the powerstroke in it. Went to autozone bought a cps and it started up. Drove it about 6 miles and the ses light came on and it had verry little power. I know the truck was running great before the cps went out, is there some things i should look for. I plan on taking my scan tool to look at it after work to see what code it threw. Its an auto 2 wd plain jane truck with no mods that i know of. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I drove it in to work this morning died a few times then ran fine for a few hours drove it back to the shop installed new ford cps and changed the oil and filter. It was hard to start then started running ruff again. It still keeps dying and is running worse now. Any suggestions. It throws a code but as soon as i hook up a reader it loses the code.

 

First i would check the the ICP sensor for a leaking diaphragm, next I would check the HPOP reservoir and make sure it is filled to the top. Just a few suggestions, others will chime in I'm sure.

 

Which sensor is the icp, the resivoir is full.

 

It's in one of the HPO ports on the driver side head. Just take the connector out and see if there is oil inside the connector.

 

Yes their is oil on it, is it bad? Should i get one from Ford or will a aftermarket one work?

Got a scanner and it shows 11 codes on the continuous memory test. P0562 continuous system voltage low. P1280 continuous icp circuit low. P0472 continuous exhaust pressure low input. P0107 continuous manifold pressure/ baro sensor low input. P0198 continuous engine oil temperature circuit high input. P0603 continuous pcm keep alive memory error. P0344 continuous cps a circuit a intermittent. P1212 continuous icp pressure not at expected level. P0340 continuous cps a circuit p0470 continuous exhaust pressure sensor. P1211 continuous icp above/bellow desired. When i go to read new codes it said none are present. Can anyone explain these codes. I have replaced the cps 3 times
