    Truck cranks, won't start, 1 Terminal of GPR is hot

    The voltage drop across the GPR terminals is about right, the lower terminal is the battery + power, as said, clean and/or tighten the nut.

    You can run a 1/8" line from the ear on the rear drivers side. See pic. Use only braided SS line.

    Try pouring some cold water over the IP, if it starts, then you have a worn out IP.

    First time block heater use

    That block heater is 1000 watts or around ~9 Amps. use the Shortest extension cord possible with a 16 AWG cord, a 14 or 12 AWG for anything over a 50 ft cord. The extension cord should never got Hot, a warm cord is at it's limit. A 30 year old truck cord can get hard and the insulation could be...

    Antarctic IDI Build

    I don't even like the Disc brakes on my F350. Going up to Alaska in 08, was going down a hill in Oroville, had to stop for a Red light at the bottom, the trailer brakes didn't work, broken wire, couldn't lock up the wheels even with Hydroboost, thank God there was a delay, Red both ways as I...

    The dealership ordered seat covers for it, just hope they have brains enough not to cover the airbags when they install them.

    Well well well

    Sure glad I read the whole 4 pages. Gave me some incite on what to look for on the 2012 Ford Escape XLS FWD. I just got it 2 days ago (10/27/17) for my Daughter with the I-4 engine and 6-speed. Drove it for the first time yesterday, seemed to shift hard into 6th. Sure neglected to look at the...

    Manual glow plug button good temp fix?

    Your partially correct. Pressing the go peddle once after the key is turned on before start lets the Cold Hi Idle Solenoid plunger extend , the Cold Advance Solenoid is in the IP fuel control cap, that Advances the IP timing, holding the IP throttle open, the cam on the IP throttle shaft will...

    E4od 3-4 shifting hard?

    You cannot change the WOT throttle voltage, it is what it is, the idle voltage is set from .92 to 1.20, the higher the idle voltage is set, the sharper the shifting will be, even more so with a towing load. The WOT throttle voltage cannot exceed 5VDC or it would shut down the PSOM or EECIV what...

    Engine control weirdness.

    It is a very common thing for the harness that lays on top of the valve cover on the drivers side to wear thru the insulation causing wires to short out, that can be intermittent or solid. Sounds to me that's where your problem is, put a piece of something under the harness that will insulate it...

    timing vs. fuel pressure.

    According to what Mel is saying ( in Snicklas post above) the inlet IP pressure has little effect on the timing to a point. My thinking The internal IP pressure is derived from the fact that the return lines and IP check ball (housing pressure regulator) can only unload so much pressure...

    Injector leak at shutdown??

    If you had a "Hydro-lock", you would hear a a definite loud THUMP IF THAT PARTICULAR cylinder was not at TDC or the engine would not turn over at all. As said, pull all the glow plugs out, fuel or water would squirt out under Hi pressure, be careful, it could hurt you.

    Injectors

    The New injectors should have the copper washers already on them, do not remove them and then install them separately, there is a chance they could become "Cocked" when installing the injector. Torque injectors to 35 -40 ft lbs.

    Glow Plug Relay/Circuit

    Make sure the Black wire on the GPC has a good ground, not corroded or rusty. Take a jumper wire from the battery Pos + and jumper it to the Red wire on the GPC, that should energize the relay, with a VOM set for 12VDC + you should get that 12VDC on the output side to the GP's of the relay, NO...

    7.3 problems that are really starting to confuse me

    Reading your 1st post again. So why did you just buy an IDM. If you don't have a scanner that can read Ford codes it's possible to get a false DTC which will lead you down the wrong path. You said: ive replaced the icp with a black one I think your referring to the CPS, "Cam Position Sensor"...

    Are these olives?

    The two 5/16" ID olives are for the hard line from filter to IP, the two 3/8" ID olives, one is used for the hard line from lift pump to filter, some return line systems have a hard line from IP to tank return line, that's where the second 3/8' olive would go. Do NOT over tighten them, just...
