    Thanks for all you do Heavyd!
    I'm getting the same code on an 09 Prostar, there was so much info on this thread I am confident I can figure this out. Incidentally there is a problem with the aux power on the dash and the A/C quit working. I am positive they are all related. We will find out. Thanks again

    Double check that code. There is no 8353 Spn codes for the engine.

    Should have Insite connected to read what the ECM is seeing for throttle percentage. Could be a wiring problem.

    Hello Heavyd . Yes I have double checked when ever I see STOP ENGINE sign same code appears SPN 8353.
    One thing I like to mention that from fews weeks truck is losing coolant about 2 letters a day. No leak found even dealer couldnt find any thing. Stop ENGINE start showing after the coolant issue. Are they linked? I am posting the dealer report as well . Thanks . Looking forward to hear from you. 20170725_233027.jpg

    99% of the time, it is the EGR cooler. Even though they did take the piping off, the leak is too small to cause coolant traces at this point. It will pass a pressure test at any temp lower than full operating temp because the little crack closes up when cold. This is why it passed the pressure test. The only way to confirm a cooler is to wait until it gets worse and leaves stains or streaks in the piping. I could be an intercooler or may be the air compressor.

    Sorry about the code, I must have clicked into the wrong engine book. That is a high pressure fueling fault. The ECM is having a hard time getting the pressure to where it wants. Could be aerated fuel, suction restriction, bad rail pressure sensor, faulty pump, or rubbed wires. This will turn the red stop engine light on.
     
    Sony Thanks this.
