Looking for a good online source for the FCA.

Stock of modified?


Stockers I think the best price are from Cummins (used to be $94, last I heard they were a little over $100 now)

 

Stock.

I see Hoeslidiesel has the FCA for $98.28.

You just need one, or a steady supply?

 

Just one. Think my FCA is sticking. Need to remove it and try the audible test by shaking it before doing anything else.

I just got done removing and replacing one... if you have never done it before, I have a tip or 2 for you.

 

Like to hear it. With my previous experiences with steel bolts and aluminum a few good raps to the bolt heads should shock them loose.

That's it. I:

Took off tire and wheel well.
Spray PB blaster on the opposite side of the screws... it looked like the thread holes go all the way through, but good luck getting a direct spray. I just sprayed it on the face, and let it run down. I don't know if it did any good or not. I think that the best thing was that I got a piece of flat bar (actually the bars that you use on chain link fence to bolt the wire to the pole) and hit it from the top and side.

I had to use a bit instead of a socket torx, the socket was too fat to get beside the FCA.

The FCA was a T-25, the Gear pump was a T-27, and the feed line going to the rail was a 19 at the pump, and a 17 at the rail. (This is for the arson kit)

HTH... but you had the main thing already.

 

Somebody please clue me in. What is an FCA, and what does it do?

 

The FCA (Fuel Control Actuator) meters the fuel on the high pressure side of the CP3 pump.

Thank you Mike

 

Hey mike, just curious, but what is your engine doing to make you think the FCA is sticking

 

Has a 'hiccup' or stumble when getting on the throttle quickly. Happens right off idle.

Some say the lift pump maybe going south.
