International Maxxforce 10 (2010) error code TDC - SPN164 FMI 1

Hallelujah!

I'll get to work and see what I find out! fantastic write-up. I appreciate it!

 

So I went all confident up to the engine and then realized that I still don't know what I'm doing despite your awesome write-up.

Basically it's as follows?

1. Warm up the engine to operating temperature.
2. Shut off vehicle.
3. Detach line going to the head. ( as shown in attached picture ).
4. Attach line with pressure guage to previously detached line.
5. Supply 12 volts to the IPR for a few seconds ( Mine is the pigtail one ).
6. Get guage reading.

 

So I think I followed the directions properly, but I didn't get any reading on the guage. In fact I didn't hear anything at all what-so-ever. I'm sure I did something wrong xD'

I posted the picture of the moment I connected the current to the IPR.

EDIT: Note to self, Negative != Ground
xD''''

Also the hose is rated for 4250 psi. Am I running some sort of risk or should I be ok with that? Should I be behind blast doors? XD

 

Haha, no I didn't crank it but that makes sense. Gotta love learning...

I figure after performing the test I have no choice but to let it sit for a long time right? I mean I don’t have A way to relieve the pressure

 

Very interesting test!

I didn't tighten the valve on the pressure guage tight enough the first time. I bathed the windshield and everything around the truck in oil.

After fixing that, it sounded like it was having a really hard time turning over. And with every revolution it showed a varying 5500 - 6000 psi.

As soon as I stopped turning it over, it lost all pressure within about 10 - 15 seconds. I'll see if the photos and videos I took were any good.
