The first time I had this problem it was -4 and I was driving down the hwy, the truck was at 2200 rpms and wouldn't shift or anything then started shaking, I put the petal to the floor and continued to slow and as I pulled to the side of the road it shut off, I had my 2 week old son with me so I quickly called for a tow, when i got home my truck fired up and idled for about an hour. I drove it around for about 30 minutes... alone... then it died again and I took the cap off the top fuel filter and it was getting fuel and it started up about 20 minutes later, I haven't drove it since but I have started it and let it idle for a half hour at a time.

and now it is throwing codes for glow plug circuits and cylinder contribution. I haven't had the will power to check the FICM yet because of the insane temperatures (-21) the night before last, but before I do I was hoping someone else had the same problem

my truck was acting similar (luckily i was the only on in there) not as cold. had it towed to my mechanic and he checked it out and repeated the i ssue. mine was because the Logic side of the FICM was toast.

FICM sounds like the problem then, you aren't the first to say that, I guess I'll have to drag my butt out to check it tomorrow

Have a mechanic check the logic side for you too. Its harder to test. Good luck to you!

Whats your hpo situation? Icp and ipr good? A bad leak can do the same exact thing

Haven't had hpop checked but only leak that hits the ground is power steering

Do u have a monitor or scanner? The leak would be internal so you wont visually see a leak, the only way to tell is by watching your icp or injector control pressure.

Mine did the same thing one day when it was cold out here is South Dakota (-15)..i was getting less and less power and then all of a sudden it shut off...let it sit for 5 min and got it to chug home..but mine i was getting a low boost code and come to find out my EBP sensor and tube were just dirty and took them off and cleaned. now truck runs fine.

 

[powersmoker2005]

ok so i have a few more things to check then, I'll start with EBP sensor because I just checked my FICM and it was holding a steady 48.6 volts

i would at least try that..its not to hard to get to just take the air intake off and you should be able to squeze your hand down there to screw it off...here is my thread i opened when i had my problem http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/6-0l-problems-forum/613850-p0299-code-wont-run.html and here is the thread i followed when i took it off. http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/6-0-motor-problems/190857-06-f250-ebp-cleaning.html

Thanks, I'll give it a shot, I'm not about to pay shop fees and it can't hurt. my truck is not throwing that code but hey I've never heard of this problem before
