IPR screen hello?

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Just thought I would pick your brains for a moment. Truck was towed into me from a construction company. I called an engine on it back in the fall and then they towed it back to their shop for a re+re (it was butchered). They had it running for about 5 mins and then it stalled, could not get it to restart. Had all eight injector codes as well as a p0611. They also had 9psi of ICP pressure while cranking. Truck would fail injector self test. Proved out the harness and threw a FICM in it (even though I told the company that isn't the only issue). Performed audible air test, listened for switching IPR when commanded, no noise difference heard, removed IPR. The screen was gone off of the IPR! I have seen this many a times but usually when I go into the IPR bore(in the hpop cover) with my pick to remove the screen it comes out. Well, there is no screen in the IPR bore. Verified with borescope as well as I was able to thread in spare IPR with no issue. Could/should I assume that it's still in the old engine and they never realized? Is it possible some how that it has been ingested (being paranoid?)?

Thanks in advance!

I remember one of my first HP cover off jobs, while I was removing the IPR, the screen fell of and dropped into the opening under the pump cover. I couldn't find it but don't think it could cause any damage as it's too large to get sucked up the oil pickup. Posted Image
