I sure don't. Bought it through my now ex-wifes account so i don't have any historical info. It looks exactly like the one the OP posted though, the name just doesn't look the same

 

[villestrip]

Oh yeah forgot he posted the link. Here’s the one I bought. Looks to be similar.

[nighthawk285]

Yeah I'll bet they're all the same imported generic sensor, just sold over different companies

 

[TXPower]

So the correct sensor came in the mail on Wednesday finally. Should have been here Tuesday at the latest.

I’ve been working and haven’t had a chance to put the Edge sensor in yet. I’ll post up with results once that’s done.

I have to disclose that when I called Edge on Tuesday of this week to find out why my sensor hadn’t arrived yet I got another Tech/Sales Rep who really didn’t care that my sensor was late. I didn’t waste much time with him. Told him I wanted to talk to a supervisor. 1/2hr later a manager with Edge called me back. He listened to me and asked me what he needed to do to make it right? I was like I don’t know but my time is money just like yours. He made an offer to send me an additional sensor after he asked me what my needs might be in terms of additional monitoring. Long and short of it is, Edge went the distance to satisfy the customer. That’s big with me.

Oh, someone asked where I put the fuel sensor, whether it was in the cap. No, it was in the extra port on the bowl.

I should know tomorrow what my fuel psi truly is. I’ll ring back in then.

Thanks,

TXPower

hopefully it’s just that faulty sensor. Hoping for the best for you!

On a side not, can you post where you tied the coolant sensor in or pm me a couple pics. I’m about to add a coolant pressure sensor as well and just looking for a few ideas.

Yeah I second pics on the coolant sensor location.

Just to add to this conversation, my Edge sensor crapped out after about 14 months and 7K miles or so. Edge didn't reply to my email (still haven't, actually) then wanted to sell me the complete $130 kit to fix it when I called them.

Instead, I bought an ISSPRO ISS-R89141 for about $70 that worked perfectly.

 

[TXPower]

Ok, so I finally got the Edge Sensor. SockPuppet bought a different one. Doesn’t mean it’s not right. The sensor Edge supplies is an ISSPro R89154.

I still only show 22psi on fuel pressure. I was told by Edge to configure it through the monitor by choosing 0-100psig, which I did. For those who have this setup, do I need to take the voltage values out at the bottom of the screen in the MyStyle. Or does it automatically fill those values in once the 0-100psig is chosen.

The fact that the other sensor and this sensor supplied by Edge agree on the fuel pressure, leads me to believe that I in fact, only have 22psi fuel pressure.

Next question. As I stated above, I don’t know if the blue spring mod has been done, whether it has or has not, wouldn’t a healthy fuel pump read more that 22psi. Thoughts?

I’m leaning toward buying a new Ford Fuel Pump off Amazon for $279.00. Or is there a cheaper place to buy it?

For those asking for pics of where I tied in for the coolant sensors here is a couple of shots.

When I set mine up, I remember having to config it for 0-100psi and I think it filled in all the rest, but I can't remember for sure because it's been awhile. The instructions with the sensor should step you through it.

If you do need a new HFCM...

I'd still get a mechanical gauge on there to verify 1st, but all signs point to your readings being correct. And you said you don't have any power loss or stumbling?

I didn’t get any instructions with the sensor when the first, wrong one, came. I called the tech line while waiting on the correct sensor and the tech said do the configuration through the monitor and choose the 0-100psig. There are no other choices when configured through the monitor so I’m guessing it sets all the other values too but doesn’t let you see them.

No sir, no power loss, no stumbling not even when accelerating hard.

If I could find a manual gauge for less than half the cost of a new fuel pump I would buy it and test but........

Thanks,

A "decent" gauge to test with shouldn't be much more than 20-30 dollars.
Or this.

Or even this. More adapters, more gooder.

G8or, the second link you attached is an oil pressure tester. Will it work for fuel as well? I figured fuel would foul the gauge if it wasn’t built for that. I realize diesel fuel is treated thinner oil but wasn’t sure if that gauge would stand up to it or if the gauge internally would react wrong because of the different viscosity of fuel vs. oil. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Like I said in my other post......from the pictures you posted, your MyStyle setup was done correctly for the sensor involved so you can check that off the list.

If you can verify against another gauge that's a good step.

When's the last time you replaced the fuel filters?.....see my previous post too for what "good fuel pressure" should be.

It will be fine for a test. Over time the diesel could cause issues, but for a simple pressure test it should be ok. I have an electronic sensor for my fuel pressure sensor. It is built for oil and does occasionally hang or show a bad reading, but a couple of taps on it and it's good to go again. I've been running it for over two years and have recently bought an isolator so that I can have oil to the sensor and fuel to the isolator.

I bought the gauge in the second link posted above by G8orford today at Harborfreight. Will check it if there is enough light to do so when I get home from work.

Fuel filters were changed 8k ago. I change them, every third oil change. Is that sufficient?

Thanks,

[TXPower]

Ok, so I got home and hooked the manual gauge linked this morning by G8orford into my fuel pressure port and guess what....... 22psi idling dropping down to around 17 or so driving under demand.

Unless the fuel pressure regulator, spring inside it or something else is messed up, it’s time for a fuel pump.

Found the Ford Fuel pump and Ford blue spring on Amazon today about $360 for both, free shipping.

Unless y’all got other suggestions, ordering tomorrow.

Thanks,

TXPower

 

[jokester00]

Check that link I sent ya - that's an OEM HFCM for $250 shipped TYD. You can also pick up the blue spring kit from one of our sponsors on here @fordsvtparts and @Sunrisefordparts and still be under $360 with shipping. I do understand if you're in a time crunch though...Amazon helps out with that.

I bet you see a difference in power when you get your fuel pressure up :grin:

[G8orFord]

I'd probably try to verify line pressure first and possibly redo the blue spring before I replaced the pump, but it's your money. Adapting something to fit the line at the fuel bowl may be more work than just replacing the pump and regulator. Something else to consider is that it may be getting air in the system from a pinhole in the pickup tube or a connection. That would affect pressure as well.
@nighthawk285 is the expert though.

G8or, I’m totally ignorant to your suggestion about checking line pressure. Are you saying there is some way to check the pressure at the fuel line? If so, where would that best be done, what’s needed and how would the pressure differ there than where I’m plumbed into the dummy port at the upper fuel filter bowl?

And how would I go about determining if there is a hole or connection problem at the pickup tube in the fuel tank?

Thanks,
