WTF!? Is there anyway at all a new stock lp can die in about 350 miles?!?! I can still hear it buzzin but it just runs outa fuel after idling for a lil bit. Then I leave the pump run after it dies, restart to 5k of rail pressure sits there for alil bit starts to fluctuate then dies!

Possible fuel gelling?

It was pretty cold but I hope not I just filled up a couple days ago and its still at 3/4 of a tank, but with todays winter blend fuels I thought that was a thing of the past?

Not a thing of the past. Just search for fuel gelling and you will see quite a few with problems now. I saw one in Michigan last week that was gelled at 20 degrees.

how about possible fca? That is what mine did last summer, and fca fixed it

 

[Red_Rattler]

whats the fca?

The Fuel Control Actuator controls the amount fuel that goes into the rail. It is located on the back of the Cp3 its has wires running to it.



In the last issue of the TDR it suggest running 2 cans of ashless outboard oil in fuel tank. If it starts running like usual your FCA is bad.

Dunno what to do, I've done alot of searching on here and I'm not liking where this is goin. Shorty the trucks goin to my favorite diesel tech for some bad news I'm suspecting... ...

Update: At the ******* with my favorite diesel tech and the new lp ended up not passing the flow test. So the new pump was a weak pump which would explaine to me why I thought my rail pressure was lower on the truck after the install. But just to be sure after when I get the new pump on everything down stream from the lp is getting tested to.....



Big thanks to Geno's garage btw for making this right, sent them a email with a prompt reply and a number for me to call with a very helpful tech! They are sending a new pump to me via next day delivery with a return sticker so I'm not out any money on this deal. Thats why I like shopping there, they still care about the customer!
