Agree takes a lot of time, have 2 in shop right now with p207f, both required replacing ccv collar before reprogramming modules, and performing scr road test which took around 10 miles for message to go off in ic for one, and other was already in idle only mode requiring different procedure to get out of idle mode. on f-350 after reprogramming had a hard fault for particulate matter sensor temp ckt. that was not there before programming, found other tsb or ssm stating replace sensor and module for dtc if within build dates, when removing sensor (after heating up) the top part where you can grab with wrench twisted off leaving sensor and threads still in bung, removed tail pipe and broke sensor out, but could not save bung, parts priced tail pipe at 700 dollars, at which time customer declined, and being a construction company has technicians working for him who welded sensor into bung instead of replacing bung or tail pipe, and then sent back to me for drive cycle, which after wards set p207f. 2 of the studs broke off tail pipe connection and they did not replace with bolts or nothing, just bolted tail pipe up with 1 nut. likely used same gasket, part of problem is deciding what is proper price to charge for this concern.

Have been interested in finding a scan tool that would do oe type functions for multiple car lines. I have considered snap on modus, matco maxgo, or max2.0, or autel. I find these tools are very expensive and require costly updates that never seams to go away. With work being slow at my shop, kind of need to do side work, and i need the tool to do pmi, program keys, have bi-directional capabilities, like command outputs on and off, and communicate with all modules on car. all so need it to pay for itself in return on investment, do to being technician who lives on wk. to wk. check. I stumbled upon a app called FORscan on the internet, that states free, looks like you only have to buy a adapter that connects to car and connects with blue tooth. Has any body tried this app with any success? Just curious which scan tools techs are finding is best for the money

I have a 200 f-250 that sets p1668-ef signal pcm-idm err. load test power and grounds to idm, and passed, check continuity on communication ckts. between pcm and idm, .3ohms, check ckts. for short to grnd, and short to pwr. no problem found, injectors will not buzz with this dtc, replaced idm, and seamed like all ok, injectors buzzed and truck start and run for about 20 minutes, then stalled, performed self test again, and new idm set p1668, performed service parts replacement of idm, truck starts and runs and within a few minutes will stall again and get same hard fault, p1668, and same symptom no buzz of injectors and crank no start. beginning to thank pcm concern at this point. good info in this post.

was attempting to follow those test steps steve, however when hold brake and app at wot would only raise rpm to around 630. was unaware of procedure bruce explained, and did not find it in workshop manual under stall speed test. thanks bruce

THANKS JOE WILL TRY

CUSTOMER COMPLAINT OF EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE AND FEEL VEHICLE SHAKE WHEN IDLING IN GEAR, VERIFIED CONCERN, HAD DTC PO54F-IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM-FUEL QUANTITY HIGHER THAN EXPECTED CONTINUOUS MEMORY, FOUND SSM 45913 ADDRESSES CONCERN AND HAS YOU PERFORM TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED TEST PRIOR TO PERFORMING DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM STALL SPEED TEST I PUT TRANS IN GEAR HELD BRAKE AND ATTEMPT TO RAISE RPM TO 1600-1750 AND PCM WILL NOT ALLOW, RPM ONLY RAISES TO 630 RPM WITH APP WOT. SAME THING IN REVERSE, HAS ANY BODY COME ACROSS THIS, IS THERE SPECIAL WAY TO OVERIDE PCM FOR STALL SPEED TEST ON THIS VEHICLE? IT IS A 16 F-350 WITH A 6R140

Flushed twice with purple power and still got some fuel in coolant

What is simple green and where do I get it lol

What is best chemical to flush fuel from cooling system after replacing heads

The one I got from snap on does not have valve in hose,and fitting Snapon got for me will screw in place of glow plug and has check valve but is only around 1 inch long,very difficult to attach hose and hose is in way of moving parts would like to find valve like Bruce has in pic

Trying to find a diesel compression gauge with a check valve installed into hose due to no valve in 7.3l test adapter,does any body have any suggestions, is there any fitting or kit that would fit standard diesel compression gauge?

It is a slide lock type of connector similar to abs module connectors, will submit pictures as soon as I learn how, the plastic is melted and disfigured, along with central junction box, vpr and grnd melted together from climate control switch c270a in wiring diagram. thanks for suggestions

i have a 04 f-350 that c270a is damaged along with cjb, parts department says there is no pigtail available, and the whole harness is not available as well, this is just a 24 pin connector would assume has to be out there some where just not sure where to look, does any body have any suggestions for hard to find pigtails.

congrats on truck and baby,

stand alone code and only on koer, tried map sensor off of another truck and still sets on koer, never turned service light on no drivability symptoms found. Released truck, just bothers me , in my mind this is a hard fault, hotline was no real help, they stated if ka test passed, and light does not come on then no faults with truck.
