    should the top of the glow plug get warm?

    This is an IDI in a van chassis, no main harness. To see if there was a problem with the GP harness I built a new temporary harness (same gauge wire, same lengths, bullet connectors on one end, ring connector on the other). Made no difference Will check the FSS when I go back out to wrench...

    should the top of the glow plug get warm?

    Nope, it doesn't use oil or blow any smoke at all

    should the top of the glow plug get warm?

    Greetings all, still banging around trying to fix the hard start problem (starts on first crank with block heater plugged in, if it's not plugged in it won't fire if the outside temp is below 60 degrees). Got New Beru Glow Plugs, new solenoid, all wires check out for continuity (and I built a...

    banging head against wall, Engine not starting

    Thanks Diesile & Riotwarrior. It could very well be off, like I said, I lined it up where it was before (which could have been who knows where). After I pulled and replaced my IP I took it to my local shop that is suppose to specialize in Diesels and asked them to time it. They asked if it...

    banging head against wall, Engine not starting

    Franklin2, the passenger side rear GP connector insulation has disintegrated (and in the van that's one of the easy ones to get to). I can definitely get a probe right on the connector with it plugged in to the GP. I Will report what I find in the AM RNA, I'll get on it in the AM when there...

    banging head against wall, Engine not starting

    I've searched, read message after message, I can't find any posts with similar problems that have solutions I have a 1993 7.3 IDI Non Turbo E350 (Van chassis, so working on the motor is like building a boat in a bottle) The motor fires right up if the block heater has been plugged in. It...

    Having a hard time finding a Fuel level sender for my '93 IDI

    Greetings everyone, I have the 'always full' fuel gauge problem, checked for continuity, and it's an open circuit at the connector between the yellow and black wire. So I'm was getting ready to drop the tank to replace the level sender and harpoon the tank and I can't find the sender anywhere...

    I have low WOT Voltage at FIPL

    I don't have a Tach, it's a Van Chassis. I'm swinging by the Ford Dealership first thing in the AM to pick up a new sensor

    I have low WOT Voltage at FIPL

    Just went outside with my DVOM, no continuance between pins on RPM sensor, no Voltage out while running. The wires going into the sensor were bare also. Going to pop off the belt & vac pump and get the sensor changed, hopefully that will take care of that code. Thanks for all the help, I'll...

    I have low WOT Voltage at FIPL

    Thanks Gents, I rechecked (with the Engine warm and throttle held down for the KOEO test) Still pulled Code 23 [flashed code twice] and then one single flash and then code 14 [flashed code twice] I can't get the FIPL to go over 3.8V (and that is idle at 1.65). If I adjust idle Voltage...

    I have low WOT Voltage at FIPL

    Greetings all, first post. I have a 1993 E-350 bus with a 7.3 / E4OD The OD light started flashing, I pulled the codes that included 23, I don't know how old the FIPL is but I figure as long as I am adjusting it I should throw on a new sensor just to be safe. The new Sensor is from Napa if...
