Ford Desiel Pickup won't stay running?

Question

I have a freind that just bought a desiel pickup. The first week he had it the engine blew. He took it to a shop and they replaced the engine. Now it won't stay running unless you are in the truck with your foot on the gas.
Does anyone know what this new problem may be?
Thanks

Answer 1

Answer: its a Ford (fix or repair daily)
How to fix: go back in time before you bought the truck, and buy a Chevy or a Dodge

Answer 2

The idle isn't set right, Or the fuel shut off trips when you let off the gas. Depending on the truck and how old it is it may have air trapped in the fuel lines. Older truck have this happen way more than the newer ones. Start the vehicle and crack open the fuel lines one at a time at the injectors and see. If you crack one open and fuel doesn't come squirting out in an almost steady stream....Leave it cracked open till nothing but fuel comes out.Then tighten it and repeat for the remaining injectors. It kinda depends on what truck and year it is As to how easy the lines will be to crack open. See if that helps. Also try changing the fuel filter. And believe it or not diesel fuel if left alone for awhile can get Algae...Yes Algae in it. So the filter can be gummed up, but is letting fuel by when under more pressure.
And try some Lucas fuel injector cleaner. This won't solve your problem but is very good for your fuel system

Does it proceed to run in any respect after liberating the most important to the on position? If not have it checked for a burnt fusible hyperlink. it is a cord that acts as a fuse in that it really is meant to burn in 2 if an over cutting-edge is pulled for any reason. often times they'll wreck very close to the starter relay on the fender nicely by technique of the battery. you are able to come around the only end on the smaller terminal on the relay, following the cord and there might want to maximum situations be a small rubber knob around the cord with figuring out amp mark. in case you experience down the cord on the burnt area it really is going to be puzzling contained in the casing with a niche felt. if it really is the case a mechanic must be use because the cord is routed by the firewall to the interior the motorized vehicle. even although as a non everlasting restoration you may want to cut up the cord on the burnt area and twist which incorporates using a cord nut, making particular that now to not go away any uncovered medal of the cord. it really is in basic terms non everlasting to get the truck to the mechanic. good luck

Answer 4

If they replaced the motor why isn't it back there being diagnosed?

You didn't say what year truck and motor so It's hard to help.. The US/canada diesels are fired using motor oil, and not enough oil will cause these trucks to do weird stuff... But the truck will need to be scanned with a computer to accurately know what's going on...
