Mbl35 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 08 e450 box ambulance just shut off yesturday and wouldnt restart, they towed it in. When i came in today it started up fine for me. eec test p1260pats code and it does not have pats keys installed. Heres the kicker.... 2 other vehicles(makes and models unknown) just shut down in the same area i was told. The people were standing around trying to figure out just why all there vehicles just shut down and wont restart in the same place. This unit was in for service last monday and no dtc's when scanned. Could this be a bad case of external rfi-say leaky powerlines after a bad snowstorm or something. Two blocks away from me they shut down a whole block and 711 was closed down cause it had no electric. I checked tsb9-24-3 for p1260 and the ids says the pcm is at it's latest. I blank path programmed it and 8c2a-12a650-acd was installed. I don't know if this will help or should i go to the motorcraft website to install a patch for this tsb. Usually i thought if a higher calibration was required the ids will state it-"there's a higher calibration available" and download it automatically if you input Yes. Anyway maybe this just happened because of some external rfi and triggered the dtc because the pcm/cluster went into antitheft mode. I have seen this code come up with other no start/hard start issues like being low on oil due to exessive cranking i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Mike. Have a good read through this thread: http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=26256#Post26256 I believe it sounds similar to an issue I had with an '08 E-Series ahwile back too.

Mbl35 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 The last time i had a p0606 code coolant got into the pcm connections, it came in for a crank no start. I did'nt want to chance drying off the pcm and connectors and hope for the best so i replaced the pcm and it's been good since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregKneupper Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I had one one time where there was a pin pushed in at the buldhead connector. It was one of the can wires. Very intermittent and was extremely difficult to diagnose because just as soon as the problem would occur it would dissapear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
