Injector shorting out ficm?

**guntersxr** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2009, 10:58 AM

has anyone ever heard of this? my truck decided not to crank and i had to have it towed to the dealership. theyre telling me the ficm is toast and its because the #2 injector shorted it out. WTF? Ive never heard of such a thing, any insight?

Been working on these things 7 years at a Ford dealer and never seen a FICM cause a no crank, doesnt mean it doesnt need a FICM though, but something else is causing the no crank.....
Any idea what codes they got?

tech said it was all ficm and injector codes, the pcm was f'ed as well. i just plugged my sct into my pc and its also f'ed. could the sct have done this?

Yeah it sounds like you definitetely need a FICM. The PCM's very rarely fail........its possible your tuner is the cause. The PCM is causing it not to crank over.

after more research, im convinced it was the scrt tuner. which is also fried

since having it repaired it runs great. (stock tune

) but im sending my tuner to sct today to have it fixed. for goodness sake, i hope this dosnt happen to anyone else. this blows.
