Water In Fuel, the Light Said

Swapping an IP is not too bad. Pull the upper and lower intakes. The hardest part is getting to the lower injector lines on the back of the pump. (need a 3/4 inch crows foot). Take the oil fill neck off and you can get to the three bolts that hold the gear to the pump (just don't drop them down in the engine and you won't have to take the front cover off) The gear will sit in place when you remove the pump and there is an indexing pin so the new pump will only go on one way. If you get the timing close by ear and then the pump can adjust itself to the exact timing.

I've got the experience taking the injector lines off when fixing a valve cover leak last year. The rest sounds pretty straightforward.
 
The computer stores TDCO and it won't change until you do a relearn. If you move the pump after a relearn the computer is basing most of it's logic on the stored TDCO. Will it run sure might even sound fine but you might be limiting how much timing you can get ie can't advance or retard as much as it should.

That's what I was thinking just was not what I said..........thanks for the clarification.
 
Put the green label Diesel Clean additive in. Poured some directly in the FFM and half a quart into the 25 gallons in the tank. Ran the truck around and runs fine with no codes, until it gets past 185 F on the coolant temp. Then it throws codes and runs rough. What do you say? Pull and try to clean the optic sensor?
 
so what happens if you pull the wire off the sending unit so the PCM thinks it cold? Will it continue to run fine?

Haven't done that. I'm thinking pull the optic sensor for cleaning. If that doesn't work, new IP. I can't waste much more time.
 
Pulling the optic sensor today in an attempt to clean in. Question is whether the wheel it reads is part of the IP and can that be cleaned.

I siphoned 62 gallons from the port side fuel tank of the boat, all ran through the Mr. Funnel Filter. Not a drop of water. That first draw must have been the bottom of the barrel.
