Check this out. Yesterday I sat at the end of the driveway reading some mail, go to pull out, roll at idle onto the road, push pedal (like, enough to make it go) and nothing. So, I floor it, and it pops right up, turbo screaming and all.
I ignored this, thinking it was a freak thing. Well, rolling down the highway today, in OD about 55-60MPH, go to speed up a bit, pushing, pushing, (about 1.5 - 2 inches from resting postion)
NOTHING! Same deal, kept pushing the accelerator (ZERO RPM Change) till it dropped out of OD and ran fine???
I am doing an APPS reset right now, thinking it may be the throtle position sensor (or not).
gotta be an electrical thing, right?
Any thoughts on this one? Weird feeling, pushing the go pedal and staying at idle!

Oh, and also what about the windshield wipers stopping wherever they please?? (Might as well kill two birds with one thread, huh)?

 

after you do the apps reset...turn your key off and on 3 times...to check the codes...if p0216 comes up it will verify what we all will suspect as it being a bad vp-44 injection pump...mine is in the shop right now getting a replacement. good luck

 

Nice.
Told my wife months ago I needed gauges.

 

Pulled the codes.
Got a P1693

??
I'd LOVE to hear that it's not a THOUSAND (plus) Dollar Pump!!
Of course after searching, looks like 7 out of 10 times this is the companion code for 0216= my truck sits a while..............

 

there should be another code in there somewhere, the 1693 code says DTC detected in companion JTEC module

 

Not feeling good about this, looks like I'm gonna have the sell the Sub Box I bought from you!!

 

Okay, ran the codes again.
(if you wait a second)
It shows the P0216 also.

Now What?

 

thats the code for the VP44, without gages, it will be hard, but i had the same symptoms and codes, my lift pump was bad, they replaced it, the 216 code came back and the dealer erased it and said they would check on it, when i brought it back in, they said the code didnt come back and they werent gonna do anything about it. mine is still running...... i'd try and get the fuel pressure checked, if its low change the lift pump. it has 100,000 mile warranty, is it still under?

 

YES, thank GOD (I have 67,322 miles on)

Thanks so much for the fast replies, I was sitting here feeling REALLY bad for myself.
Off to the Dealer I guess.

When is Fathers DAY?? I officially NEED a set of gauges now!!!!!!!!!

 

SOON

oh and that box doesnt come with a return policy PM me on how ya like it?

 

hmmmm sub box..... I need subs, sounds like you need $ for lift pump.....

 

Na, I was very pleased with the Box (too busy,... or is that Lazy) to get it hooked up yet.
I have a funny way of getting one part (like the sub) then deciding that I might as well buy 5 other things to go along with it to make it a total project. Anyone else suffer from this affliction? I'm thinking pretty plain, like head unit with Sirius hookups and middle of the road replacements for the factory speakers, nothing fancy, just a lil upgrade. Thanks again guys,a HUGE help on this one

GAUGES FIRST!

 

Why waste your time with another lift pump??? Buy a FASS, or even a Turbo Dog, I'm not promoting either, except that both are better than than a freaking stock lift pump.
Do it right the first time, or don't do it at all!

 

hey man...sucks on the IP problem but dealer will fix ya up right away. i hope to get mine back today...and my truck went in with MODS on it from the previous owner...no questions asked, they are replacing it at 58K

good luck...what dealer are you going to in MD?

 

I like to put it this way...... 3 aftermarket gauges on a CTD are like 3 pairs of new shoes to a woman. Necessity. Maybe try that with the wifey !.....or not
