R James Trapp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I still think the puddle was a coincidence though. If water got in any of the weather packs, it surely would have dried out by now, especially in Arizona .the only other thing I know fords are known for is bad grounds and wiggle testing wires. Check the rail pressure to, that will eliminate a fuel supply problem if its up to spec, but won't eliminate a delivery problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You should be able to see the injector pulse withds on that snap on scanner, if not , I'd get some noid lights and check the injector harnesses to eliminate a bad pin,plug or wire.

ric006 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sorry at the dentist office daughter getting root canal but i know at the fuel rail its 30 psi and normal is 32 so i would say its close enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric006 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 And i dont think my software version does the cylinders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I just bought the solus and got a screaming deal. The shop who traded it in paid $5500.00 for it with the aisen and European upgrade, I got it for $1500. If you can get your hands on a solus then you'll be able to graph the cylinders and watch the spark and injectors and see if one or two are dipping. At least then you'll know which direction to go. Ill try to look it up on my solus. I can see the fast track trouble shooter for your vehicle without being plugged into it. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I looked it up, love this solus, so it hints towards intake leak that normally won't be noticed due to the PCM compensating for the leak under normal conditions. Rough idle can occur. So maybe not a vacumn hose but intake manifold. Also references a coolant leak on #4 cylinder but I'm not sure that pertains to your problem. You didn't say your going through coolant so I'm taking it as not your case. Think I would do a compression check of all the cylinders and start eliminating the mechanicals. The solus says the techs with intake leaks replace the composite intakes. I imagine they are prone to warping would be my guess. I'm a diesel mechanic that dabbles in gasoline engines. We most currently have cng powered trucks now, so that's as close to gas as I have gotten on a regular basis. Be glad you don't have a cng powered car. Pain in the ass! Let me know how the checks go friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 The egr control valve could be sticking to though. Make sure if you can that its working properly. Says it can cause rough idle without setting a code. It made mention of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
