1995 7.3 Powerstroke Trouble

[Louisianagames]

I bought a f-250 Guy said it needed a fuel pump. He gave Me a new pump.
I kinda browed and figured it was not the pump, but new pump was installed.
I looked on the valley and could clearly see it was leaking fuel from the 3 lines from the filter tank in the valley of the intake.
I replaced the lines today and cranked it up. It took a little while to prime up I guess, but once it did crank and run it ran smooth after a few minutes it started to rasp a little run a little bouncy..I gave it throttle and it got up to about 2000 Rpms and then it slowly slowed down and I tried to baby the throttle to just let it idle and it shut down.
My tach is working. But since the day I bought it it has the check engine light on.

Any clues on where to start and what to look for ?
I'm not a Diesel mech. (not yet lol) but I can handle anything under the hood and understand and comprehend very well....

This is going to be My only means of transportation until I get My F-350's transfer case back in..
Thank You

any idea what code that check engine light is shooting?

[CHUCK]

IPR valve may be leaking.
You need to have the codes pulled....start from there.
My IPR valve started leaking and caused all kinds of trouble with idleing, runing, etc. It also set several different codes...injectors, IDM, oil temp sensor, ICP sensor.

Scan for codes and go from there. May be cps.

Thanks guys for the reply. I have a OTC Scanner on the way in about an hour.
What is the IPR Valve ?
I think I found it.
Is it in the front the valley or it the banjo fitting with the Y lines coming off the back of the fuel pump.
I found this in the link below.

Also to add..Can I use regular 3/8 black fuel line instead of the blue fuel lines? Its just temp till I can get to a ford dealer.
Thanks

Where is the scanner connection on it? is it obd2?

[strokerguy]

i beleive it under the dash and OBDI

[Louisianagames]

Thanks Strokerguy...I only have the obdII plug for the scanner..I'll grab another scanner tomorrow.
Can I just pull the battery connections to reset the codes?
I did find it and hooked to it but no cigar
Again thanks...love the cab over in Your avitar!!

[Louisianagames]

Well its OBD II and the scanner will not comunicate with it..My luck!
it will read the RPM's.
Any knowledge would be great so i can get to work by monday..
Or what will pull the codes
