Hello,
I'm a new joiner to this forum and this is my first post. Sadly, its a post about a problem I have with my 2003 F250 6.0 PowerStroke.
The truck was running great before i found out that it had a head gasket problem. After doing my research an my home work i did the following to the truck
-Changed the head gasket with Black Onyx HG.
-Installed ARP studs
-Changed the oil cooler and oil cooler screen.
-installed Sinister EGR Delete
My problem starts here. After I finished getting it back together and tried starting, it cranks but wont start. I kept cranking the engine at 10 to15 seconds intervals for two days and did not start. So I hoked up the AutoEnginuity scanning tool and there are no codes. I found the problem when i watched the ICPV at .018v or 2 psi during cranking and the IPR was at 84%.
My thinking is that this pressure is too low for a leak in the system (unless its a very large leak like if a pipe was not connected, which I’m pretty sure that its not the case) and also too low for a faulty IPR . It seem to me that the problem is that the problem is the supply of oil to the HPOP. So, I checked the oil pressure gauge on the dash board and it was moving. I also opened oil filter and cranked the engine to see if oil is coming through and it was fine.
Here where I am right now. I ran out of ideas to explain the almost zero ICP pressure. It is as if HPO is completely open or its not getting oil at all.
I’d appreciate if any one can help me or have any suggestions that could help?
Rgards,
