Thanks RIP 112, been reading up on the FCA in forums here too. This might just be the problem. Will post up again after i get a chance to pull it.

 

Hope you get it figured out bud, hate to see a fellow 04 member with problems.

 

Pulled it out shook it cleaned it reinstalled. I disco'd batteries and did the TPS reset also. NO luck... Neighbor who is a cummins wrench checked it out tonight and is 90% sure it is an injector due to the miss especially at slight rpms. on the hunt for an injector tomorrow and a infared thermometer to help find which cyl / injector is missing.

 

Your Cummins tech buddy might have the DR3 scan tool. If not try to find someone who does. You should be able to eliminate injectors until you find out which one it is. Also, you could pull the valve cover off and disconnect injector by injector till you find the one that does not make a difference and change that one.

I hope I said all that right!

 

Thanks Crashcade, Ill ask him if he has the scanner. Probably does at his work (bigrig repair facility he works for) but not at his home. Out to the garage I go.

 

Well kids I figured it out... Took off the valve cover and started disconnecting the injector wires one injector at a time. I could definatly hear a change in idle tone and sputtering with each one until I got to #5. No change there. Did the double blind test with the wife in the shop with me and she confirmed #5. Off to the local cummins dealer for a new injector and tube. Installed tonight in about 1.5 hours and she's smooth as can be again. Maby this method can help someone out and save some $$$ diagnosing a bad injector. cheers

 

Good to hear that.
