I'm not going to. I talked to another guy he suggested taking it to the dealership to have them diagnose the exact problem with their scanner. I called and they want 88 dollars just to read it. I found an icp at napa for 185.00 but I want to be 100% sure that's the problem. no returns on electrical items. Is there any more info I could give to maybe give a clear answer on what's going on?

 

might try another forum, not alot of powerstroke info on this site.

 

Alright buddy, I appreciate all the help!

 

try powerstroke army, there are a ton of guys with years of experience and some of the biggest names in the powerstroke world

 

Powerstroke info? There's me... Do you know what fuel pressure you are having? Should be > 50 psi to start. The HPOP Pressure? Should be > 500 psi to start. If the battery is less than 10.5 volts, if you try to start it, it will throw a CPS code. Don't know why that is, but it does. There are also 3 maxi-fuses in the power box under the hood, for the PCM and IDM...

But if it wasn't pushing fuel with the fuel filter cap off, then I would check the low fuel pressure first // I would suspect the lift pump.

I have AutoEnginuity with the extended Ford package and I love it... but it is spendy for most folks. Almost as good, for a whole lot less money is... if you have already an Android phone-- Car Gauge Pro and Torque Pro... and a Bluetooth ./ OBD adapter. Will run you about $25 for both apps and the BT adapter. With Car Gauge Pro, you can scan and even run injector buzz tests. With Torque Pro, you can use it for running digital GUI gauge on most of the systems that the PCM see's, including HPOP pressure, Boost, Trans temp, EOT and injector pulse width. You can do a lot of diagnostics when you cn see what is going on... and thats cheaper than buying your own mechanical gauges or a scanner that can read an OBS. I do a lot of diagnostics with me phone now.

Most scanners won't read PSD'a 95 through 03, Fords used a loophole and said those vehicle's gross vehicle weights made them exempt from being OBD compliant. I know, mine is a '97. I bought a spendy hand-held OBDII scanner that said it could read it and it couldn't. It had it in it's menu. When I called the manufacturer, they told me it couldn't and why.

Your dealer is cheaper than my local dealer. Mine is $100 to hook up their laptop. It wasn't hard for me to justify getting AE at the time. Now there is that cheaper alternative. If you have questions about OBS motors, I'm known for diagnostics.
