Sorry to hear the batteries didn't fix it but at 6 years old, you were probably due for new ones anyway.
You looked much shorter and less weight in that picture I saw of you awhile back. It's the one of you sitting next to some guy under a bridge.johnday said:What? You doubt my word? Well, I am 5'11" and 210#

johnday said:The Super Dude lives. Took 4 hours total, not including parts chasing. What I found was the connector under the valve cover was half unplugged. The old harness looked good, but since it was apart, I changed it anyway. Man, where do these parts stores get their people? Auto Zone and Murrays didn't have the parts, so I called NAPA. The guy I talked to couldn't help me, so he kept being the middleman for one of their "experts". First he said he'd never heard of a Under Valve Cover wiring harness, and that no one ran wires in the valve cover. Next he said there's no such thing. I thanked the guy that was trying to help, and mentioned his buddy the "expert", ought to polish up on diesels. I felt sorry for the kid, and told him so, at least he was trying.
So, off to the International garage. Ofcourse they said. I like that place, plus I can drool over some big trucks there. After shelling out out the grand sum of $25.46, including a shim pack for the connector, I proudly waddled home, and went back to work. 2 hours later, everything buttoned up, then came the acid test. Damn it, it works!!!!!!!
Thanks for the help guys, I think I saved a bundle, and even learned a few things in the process.
Oh, one other thing, I pulled up code 1280 after I got done with everything. My book says it's ICP Circuit Out of Range Low, cleared the same, and it never came back. Oh jolly day!!!!
So, Greg, how much did I save?

Doc said:Congrats John. Good joob!
You gotta admint, that is a weird place for a plug / wire harness. I cannot fathom why they would put it there.

$70 every year for them was a joke. Typical Ford quality.
