Ok so I did the turbo cleaning procedure, now I can't get the truck to start. Sound like it wants to but no dice. Scan shows code 0069
- I checked Vgt connection
- cleaned map sensor

All wires looked hooked up

Any clues to what I pooched.

Still stuck! When in doubt start over right. So I spent the evening pulling the turbo again and threw the batteries on charge over night.

I will crack open the charger again in the morning to see if I messed something up in there..

Any others suggestions are most welcome and encouraged

 

That's a Map sensor code.

P0069 Baro Map/Baro correlation Map/Baro, EP must be within 1 psi.

So it reads the EPB sensor and the MAP sensor. Try making sure the map sensor plug is seated correctly. What did you clean it with? What about the Map vacuum line running to the intake manifold, is that still attached?

There's nothing you could have done with the turbo that would cause an no start, I wouldn't tear it out or apart again.

 

Thanks for chiming in buddy! I did pull the turbo last night. Just cause I enjoyed it so much the first time!
- I detailed the unison ring and base with the 3m disks, it wasn't that bad or coked up like I've seen in pics. Very minimal piting
When I reassembled I put a thin coat nickle anti seize on between the bottom of ring and also on top of base

 

I see international says to use the anti seize and Ford says not to... seen guys do it both ways, some techs swear one way is better than the other. I'll be interested to see how that plays out for you.

I'd definitely re-check that map sensor though, and the vacuum hose. If those look good, you may even want to pull the EPB sensor and clean that and the tube for it, if you haven't done so yet.

 

Got her all together, still no fire!
Same thing sounds like its going to catch then nuttin

Cleaned the map sensor and tube no blockage.
Cleaned the EPb sensor and tube.

Guess I'll go buy a map sensor and hope it works

 

It could be the sensor is bad... man that's a tough one. Are you getting smoke out of the exhaust at all when cranking?

 

If a sensor is bad unplug it and try to start it, generally the only way a sensor can keep it from starting is if it is shorted out

what all did you disconnect to remove turbo? the truck will run without turbo installed so that is not the issue.

 

Well it's not the map sensor.
Almost looks like white/grey cloud after key off

Guess I'm goin back to stealers hip for a couple more sensors
Not sure how any of these could take a crap from cleaning a turbo!

- degass bottle moved
- intake cold air
- cac tube
- disconnected Vgt wire
Pulled turbo. Pretty basic !

Do you think the vgt sensor could be contaminated from the cleaning?

 

The vgt " sensor" is not a sensor, it is an actuator-basically a solenoid that limits how huch oil pressure through to activate the vanes of the turbo.
i WOULD SAY LETS GET BACK TO BASICS, check the connections on the Ficm to make sure they are snapped in good, could have gotten bumped or knocked loose some how.
Go ahead and pull the IPR and check the screen on it to make sure it is not broken or clogged, I forget what year this truck is but if the ICP is on the valve cover unplug it once and try to start it, it is basically a safe mode that shows the computer a set HP oil signal so it doesn't leave you stranded if sensor totally fails.

 

Check the wiring harness going to the map sensor over very carefully. You've got a code for MAP there... it's pointing us to something...
