need help
 

I have a 2002 f 350 and have done some work to it to make it run better. Before I started this project the truck ran real ruff. I had it scanned and the codes where 1209,1247,1211,and 0541. I ordered a new icp and ipr valve. I took the fuel bowl off, turbo and turbo pedistal. I also took the wiring harness off because there where several bare wires and it was covered in oil. i removed the ipc and did not get back to the truck for a few days. i noticed oil under the truck and realized the HPOP was draining thru the ipc opening. Made a mess in driveway but the hpop was drained so I put in the ipr and ipc. gutted turbo pedistal and replaced o-rings. Put everything back together and now The truck will not start. I have no idea what to do.I need some help.

humm

Does it try to start, or nothing at all. Just make sure to check connections on batts, I know when I have to lay all over the motor to work on my truck sometimes things can get loose.

also, how long did you try and start it and is the hpop full of oil.

The hpop is full of oil, batterys are good, the motor rolls over fine, it just will not start. I have a new cps but did not put it in since the truck was running before repairs. I tried starting several times and let the motor roll over for 15 to 20 seconds.

Check the harness going to the valve covers they can become loose or unhooked witch wont fire the injectors. When i did all my work on my truck ( injectors, turbo, ped., meth, afe intake manifold) it would crank crank but not kick so my buddy sprayed some starter fluid in the intake and i kno thats a bad thing but we did it and it fired right up!

check the harness and then re-check the HPOP resevoir to make sure it's nearly full (about 1 inch from the top). crank and few times, check the reservoir for full again and crank a few more times...could take several cycle to get the air purged out of the oil system.

You prolly are just getting air in the lines going to the injectors. So like Bama said it might take a few cycles to get it going. I know when we did an adrenaline hpop on my buddies 01 it was a pita to start. Same with injectors

I will check oil in hpop again, I was told to hold a rag dipped in gas in front of the intake instaed of starter fluid. Need to be careful so rag does not get sucked into turbo. I am at firehall tonight so will have to wait till Weds. Hope this works.

NO NO NO... Dont do that!

I would bet money on one thing...

With everything you changed including the wire harness...

You have the IPR and the EBPV plugs reversed...:tu:

Swap them out, bet ya it fires right off...

I assume the two plugs are the same which would make them interchangeable? Also if I have eliminated the butterfly valve in the exhaust do I need the EBPV plugged in?

No you shouldn't need that plugged in since its not there

Yup... the same, and the same length... Different wire colors, but I cant recall what they are right now.

You are a genius, switched the plugs and fired right up, thanks. I have found another oil leak, the oil pan is leaking at the front of the pan. My guess is that the whole motor has to come out to change or fix the seal on the oil pan? The truck runs 100% better than before repairs, need to repair last oil leak.

Pull motor, put on a stand, remove oil pan (if this is where you are truely leaking from), clean the hell out of all the parts. Use only the ford oil pan sealant PLEASE! ONLY THE FORD STUFF...

I am all for cheaper stuff, but just get that stuff...

reinstall the pan, leaving upside down at least over night.

Then reinstall...

It is leaking from the front of the oil pan, I verified this by crawling under and watching it come out of the seal. Top of motor has no leaks. New tranny and transmission shop said the back of the motor looked fine. I am going to attempt this on my own so here come the dumb questions 1) How much of the front end needs to come off hood, grill, radiator 2) Does the truck need to be off the front wheels to get the cross member out, 3) take turbo off does the pedistall have to come off 4) use cribbing to support tranny? Am I missing anything? Looks like I jumped the gun on the oil pan (like csipsd said) the leak appears to be on the front of the hpop. It is the plate on the front of the hpop. Is there a gasket for this and what is the best way to repair it?
