6.0 Powerstroke no start, IPR valve tips and tricks P2291 P2290

[@Powerhauz]

Ok, look. It's November 2023. I'm here because my 2003 6.0 shut off going down the road. I followed this to a T. Crank starts checking data. IPR snapping to 83.9% every time. Followed this to pull the part. Old part out. It's the old style with an open screen. The new part has the peace sign triangle screen holder. New part in. The truck starts right up. IPR doesn't get above 55%. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. She's steady and strong again.

[@devingrant8847]

I thank you and your family for keeping your LEGEND ongoing allowing to help us all. Many of us would not be able to afford these trucks if it wasn't for you. RIP Ron

[@briansmobile1]

What dealership technician back flushes an IPR instead of just replacing it? And then he teaches everyone else how. Ron, you were a damn fine tech and a damn fine man. Miss you brother!

[@ELRman86]

Ron was a REAL TECHNICIAN not a parts changer. Man was absolutely awesome!

[@The_Doughnut]

2020 has been the year Ron has helped me diagnose and repair my 04 6.0. Thank you Ron for everything you did for the DIY 6.0 community and hopefully others take note.

[@zechariahian7287]

Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

[@kashtonemiliano7054]

@Zechariah Ian Instablaster =)

[@zechariahian7287]

@Kashton Emiliano thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@mechanicdave4899]

I used this video to diagnose two 6.0”s today. I miss DieselTechRon even though we never met. Generous guy to put all his time and knowledge up here.

[@tomsowell8982]

For two weeks I searched for help watching Ron mostly. I am a slow learner and had told my wife I loved that man. Two days ago I finally discovered his passing...I am still heartbroken for the loss to his family and the world. His detailed explanations and demonstrations save countless people time, effort and money. His sharing will continue to serve his intent for years to come.

[@War86Lord]

even passed on you are still helping me so much ron rest easy brother knowing you are still having positive effects on people

[@guntercreations5429]

Not powerstroke Ron, powerstroke legend!

[@guntercreations5429]

The man was a fuckin genius!!!

[@Rogeraroyals75]

I know he ain't here anymore, but thank you Ron from all us poor folks trying to understand!!! Rip

[@theghostwizard6745]

WTF. Ron passed away. Its always the good guys who GO. I'm in shock. I'm new to the Diesel world and his videos help me to grasp troubleshooting issues. You'll be missed Brother.

[@chrismccarthy7539]

The King~ After installing my bullet proof oil cooler I got it running then a no start (I thought I was careful enough in cleaning up the valley etc). Took Ron's advice and cleaned out the IPR and thought "no way in hell that tiny tiny bit of metal is my issues." Well Ron is right again and my bus starts up like a champ. Thanks!

[@juliousdavis8105]

Geez Ron, If your looking down on us watching your videos. Thanks, you have helped so many people. You have honestly probably saved normal diesel owners millions showing us how to fix diesel problems on our own. I'm actually a certified motorcycle tech and certified gasoline car tech. So I'm no dummy when it comes to working on engines but no way would of I had a clue how to work on a diesel without his videos. Diesel engines are just so different from gasoline engines. Yeah they have a few of the same parts but 90% is just different.

[@chrisn9018]

Today this video helped me with not only diagnosing a problem, but also repairing (replacing) an IPR that had failed in my 2004.5 F350. Ron, you were truly a saint doing all of these videos for the community. You are missed.

[@centariprime9959]

Great video. Ron is still a help to us diesel owners who can't afford buydenomics and diesel repairs.

[@martingonzales2101]

Thank you for all your videos, Ron. I hope your family is doing well. You have saved us countless dollars. It’s amazing how many people miss you. I am glad to read the posts of thanks and well wishes to your family. I hope that when your family reads some of the posts that it helps knowing that you are missed by many. And that your videos are blessing us to also become better persons. Blessings to Ron, his family and to all of you people that watch and learn from his videos. Let’s make the world a better place!

[@adamhunt4582]

really gonna miss this guy,he was a great human being.

[@KF422TX]

This video saved my ass on the side of the road out of state....pretty bad I keep a specialty tool box in my truck with those certain tools needed on the 6.0. Had debris in my IPR. RIP RON! We miss you man

[@GIANNIPITOS707]

Thank you for all the help on my 6.0. I would have never been able to take on the work I have without you teaching me each step of the way! RIP

You're welcome and thank you too

[@muddymuddley]

rip Ron your were a special person to the 6.0 world

[@abibodlogistics]

As a matter of fact,God creates just one of his kind in a generation. It is still like a dream to me that he is gone.May God continue to rest his soul. Now I have an issue with my PowerStroke and I don't even know what do or who to turn to,it is not that there are no other good technicians but truth be told Ron is the best because he will so much break things down and you will feel as if he is right there beside you telling you what to do. My thoughts and prayers are always with his family.

[@royryb5160]

Rip ron going to miss you.

[@LuisRuiz-sv2mz]

Ron was and still is so helpful. I must have watched all his videos. A wealth of knowledge. The diesel community lost a good teacher 😕 😔.

[@MoparRebellion]

Ron, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with the world. You and your videos taught me everything I know about these trucks. Thank you, my thoughts are with your family.

Thanks Tech Ron. I'm new to diesel engines. Watching your videos, especially this one I fixed my truck . Crank with no start.

[@vaydenpayne]

This guy is the best. So much information so much detail so damn helpful! You've saved me so much money on repairs on my truck!

[@DieselTechRon]

Yes 03 early 04 can be done like this too. Its harder to see due to the crossover in the intake.

[@juancampos9690]

rip still watching your videos never forget you

[@prmayner]

I just subscribed to your channel, I thank you for the videos. I wished I would have found your channel awhile back, I'm a one man show doing just gas in my backyard garage, wasn't interested in diesel but my brother has an 05 that he has spent he estimates 8 to 10 grand on bullet proofing the engine, new head studs instead of bolts, bypass egr and countless other fix's. With your help I may be able to save him some money in the future since I just got hold of a vcm and ids and now know what to look for. thanks again. If your ever in the east texas area stop by for a beer.

Great how to video! Thanks for showing us how its done! DieselTechRon

[@lhgsedetail]

Hey Ron, first, thank you for all the info you provide for the do it Ur self rs kind of guys.

[@wiretechs2011]

Badass! Thanks for taking time to post these vids. Quick question, hope you can help. I was driving home today from a jobsite in Palm Springs. My truck was running great. I came up on traffic, let off the throttle and she died. I got her over to the shoulder and she would not start. I checked my gauges, everything good except not enough oil pressure to start. At first, I had no base pressure, I disconnected the icp and got my base pressure back. Now, back at home and in my shop. I pulled the ipr valve and the damn screen is stuck in the hpop!!!! How about that!!! I suppose I'll just fish it out. What do you think?? I'm going to run out in the morning and pick up a new icp and ipr. Thanks for your time Ron. You're the man!!!

[@claudiahuber8175]

Trying to clean IPR .Made a cut out socket to remove IPR and when it came out the nut and elec. part came out and a small needle valve came as well with a magnet. The valve body stayed in the pump housing ,and all that is there to try remove it is the male threads sticking out . How do I get valve body out without damaging the threads .The videos are a great help , my IPR valve must be different than the one shown. My truck is a 2005. Thanks

[@BullittOutdoors]

Another most excellent video from DieselTechRon A+++

[@nickcollins6225]

Followed the guide and it worked, Thanks for the tips. Problem was the first replacement was an aftermarket from some crook on Amazon. Lasted about 2 weeks. Bought one from FOrd and same issue, Then I noticed the screen was missing from the Amazon unit. Shoved a boroscope in the hole and can see what I suspect to be the screen (looks like the Mercedes logo which matches the old Ford unit screen support plastic). Which is likely why the Ford unit never worked. Options: Pull the screen from the Ford and hope for the best. Use a screw or similar to try to remove the screen. Tried using the fuel pump. Not luck. Any thoughts welcome. Happy to send pics as needed. Last question, How to tell if HPOP vs IPR? Just in case.... I have an Edge reader if that helps?? Thanks Nick..

[@TroyDawson-ef6fb]

Sadly Ron passed away a few years ago. His videos are still helping thousands of people. I am having same issue here, did you get your screen out? Did this fix your truck?

[@ZPaul2Fresh8]

I use that ratchet daily, love that little Milwaukee.

[@eddierod1031]

Hey Ron Big fan, I got a 2006 6.0 love my truck got it with 130K and put another 90K in 2 yrs. It was loosing coolant and couldn't figure it out. Until I saw some of your videos. Before I could get it to start, it just wouldn't start, I figured it was my stc HPOP fitting. I went ahead and did EGR cooler, dummy plug, ICP sensor and STC fitting. It will crank but no start. I live in a remote area and it's a problem to get someone with a scanner to come out here. I'm think it hydro lock on me. I couldn't find a video on your site to help me look for solid evidence of hydro lock. Please help what and where should I start looking. Thanks for helpful video you have provided in past.

[@meradu2]

I like it I like it thank you for the video hopefully I never have to do that lol 👍👍👍

[@TupacAShakurAfeni]

Ron, I have the 2006 6.0. No cold start. Will start if engine warmed with block heater. Friend ran scan and said IPR will not reach top of range. He said range was 0 - 120 but could not get it past 55. I looked for your user ID on ebay to see if I could purchase IPR from you but RONH12 was not found.

[@MrMr123]

Cool mutha fucking dude... 😀 What a guy, god bless him and his family What a legacy, I hope he knows, the reason I’ve become way more acquainted with my diesel is because of Ron. Paying my respects Mr. Ron 🙏🏼

[@gruleau]

after replacing the ICP what would make the oil pressure indicator drop tp low after ten seconds of idling? I learned a lot from your videos. thank you

[@daoudakonate3242]

Thank you for this super video.

[@DownfallSocieties]

Great walk through; thank you. I have an 04 with a no start [only happens every now and then] , but I can usually get it running with a small squirt of starter fluid. I am pretty sure it is a fuel/electrical combination causing my issue because The previous owner of the truck kept getting a contribution and low voltage CEL for the #2 injector and replaced it but the errors are still showing after a no start and rough idle [#2 cutting out I assume]. Could this be the FICM or possibly the IPR? FICM voltage is a constant 48, I am going to use this to test the ICP, IPR and a few other things. Is this more likly to be an electrical harness issue or one of these valves/sensors? Ill have all the voltages checked tnight. the Guy who did the injector swore up and down the the Harness checked out when he put the electrometer on it.

[@40lostyears]

Hi diesel tech Techron I like your videos

[@jwatts2011]

Thanks Ron for all your help. We all appreciate your time making these videos. Where do you get the wrench you used to remove the icp sensor? I think you said it was a band wrench??

[@dynocompe]

he tells you in the video where to buy it.

[@ابنالعراق-د1ح9ج]

شكرا لك على الشرح ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

[@40lostyears]

Awesome video Ron

[@twag0735]

Hello, I have an 06 f250 with the 6.0. my truck starts and runs, but dies when it gets hot (driving about 20-30 miles). my scanner read a p2291 (or p2290) code. I assume that because it starts and runs that means the IPR valve is just bad, not clogged like in this case? any info would really help

[@sarbound35]

Hey Ron, I really need your help. Kind of a funny story, I had a crank no start, got a scan done by a mechanic and he said bad IPR. He then gave me a part number which ended up being an ICP valve. I had no idea and just bought it as per his instructions. When I took it apart, realizing that it was an ICP not IPR I decided to take the ICP out anyway and check it (since I had everything taken apart anyway). It had oil leaking through as soon as I unhooked the wires so from what I've read and seen, it needed to be replaced as well anyway. I did as you said and hooked both the IPR and ICP connectors and got the guy to scan it again. Funny thing is, adversely to your video, I have a great ICP pressure but IPR is at 84.75. In this video, you had bad ICP pressure and 84.75 IPR. So question is, with IPR at 84.75 AND/BUT WITH ICP READING GOOD PRESSURE, is the IPR bad? I super appreciate your help. Thanks, Dan

[@sarbound35]

After watching your video more closely for the 100th time, I see that with the IPR fixed, and turning the key, the IPR initially shot up to 84.76 but then worked its way down. I'm not sure if the guy who scanned my truck after replacing the ICP took initial data (showing high IPR) or if he took the reading a little later into the crank after the IPR reading had come down. I guess my question above still applies though.

[@sarbound35]

So the guy came back and scanned it again and the IPR remained at 85% for the duration of the 8 second crank. The FORD dealership near where I live says its most likely an HPOP but what do you think? I'm gonna build a IPR socket and try and get it off to check that as a last resort.

[@boostedtwinturbo5099]

sarbound35 did you fix it if so what was the final problems

[@piperdoug428]

Man i wish he was still here to ask him stuff. Anyone happen upon this maybe weigh in on this maybe, i have an early 6.0 and the plug and wires on my ipr are so badly cooked that there's no insulation on the 2 wires anymore, i'm assuming that has allot to do with my no start

[@matthammond1446]

What do you use to clean the IPR in this video? Is that a refillable spray bottle? Where could folks get one?

[@DownfallSocieties]

Turns out all my voltages are fine. Still getting contribution codes for cyl2 and sometimes 28 with rough idle. idle psi measure in inMg idles at 1200 - and raises to 4550 under load. key on no start psi is 9-14inMg. PCIM - 48v constant, PCIM logic 13 also, never changes. PCIM V 47.5 - 49 constant. truck runs like crap when I pull the ICP. I cant measure the IPR with my scanner. but considering that this comes and goes away when it feels like it, hot or cold, doesnt matter. and only effects those two cylinders [which have been replaced already.] I am thinking its the FICM or the Harness. Worth replacing both?

[@diegocharquero5259]

Hi Ron, I have an 05 f450 6.0l from a customer. No start cold. its been sitting for idk how long. when he bought it, there were a few guys who got it start it, but the customer doesn't know what they did. It cranks fine, it hicups a lil a few times when i crank it for a 20-30 secs of more. So, i connected my snap-on scanner and i see the ICP reaching 1kish-2k but my IPR is on 85%. My ICP volts are good. I do not have a way to do an air leak because of i don't have it in my shop. I did notice oil everywhere, in the sides, on top, and on the back of the right side headers. Idk if its leaking of they messed everything up on an oil change. Could it be a bad IPR.?

[@lajolla95]

ron, hopefully you still look at this...I had slow shift on my 3-4 on hard acceleration and had a rev limit or shutdown? But after pulling off the freeway I had a a no start. Have 14.8% and 0 at key on no crank and 85% and about 28-30 psi at crank. Definitely seems i have injector pressure issue, but i am not throwing any codes. Could this be a stuck IPR valve?

[@hanratty450]

Excellent job

[@Henryelandasolo]

Hello Ron, how are you doing? Question, I have a 2004 E-350 super duty with the 6.0 engine, I change the fuel filters, I filled the filters with diesel and put them back and started the engine up, it ran beautiful for 5 minutes and then it starter to stall and shut off, what do you think it could be the cause? Can the fuel system be bled?

[@kevincook1249]

Ron, i have a 2003 with the 6.0 in it. would the IPR be able to be removed just as you did on this one you are working on? i have been told that the 03 early 04 have alot of differences thanks.

[@jasonbeaudoin8359]

Do you think you could relocate the ipr by using a hydraulic fittings hose and extending the electrical connector

[@markjamison984]

Diesel tech Ron: I am having a no start issue and went ahead and bought a scangauge 2 and my ipr cranking reads 84.7% and ipc only goes to 350 but I believe if I understand b what you are saying is I need to replace the valve

[@ashltyler]

Hey Ron first on I wanna say your videos are very helpful. I just have one question in your video you clean the ipr and replace the screen and o rings and reinstalled and truck ran fine. I recently removed my ipr out of my 03 6.0 because I had a no start only building 300 psi of hpo. My screen wasn't near as bad but had very small holes and a few what looked to be metal shavings in it. All mechanics I've talked to said my hpop is junk also. Was just wanting your input. Thanks!

[@FlyinRaptorJesus]

can you just cut a notch in a socket to get the ipr out?

[@MrGommer101]

Hi will a E-series 6.0 work in a F- series 6.0 other than hardware items brackets etc,? or are they way differant? any help would be great thanks - Mike

Great video

[@michaelszweda]

ron gread videos do you think you could do a vid on your tool box and the tools in it

[@robertpedie4955]

keep in mind if screen is damaged on ipr the screen under oil cooler most likely is damaged also...dont do one without the other

[@JosePerez-qt8gy]

I do have base oil pressure, but as I crank the truck it doesn’t build any oil pressure in the gauge, what can it be?

[@KUB4N1]
