In my last thread I was trying to diagnose what I thought was a no start issue due to a fuel system problem. I couldnt get the truck to run and decided to bring the truck to my friend who is a mechanic, and has worked on 6.5's before (and happens to own one). He looked over it and said there doesnt seem to be any problem with the fuel system itself. When he plugged the truck into his scan tool, it was showing that the IAT was 300*f, the ECT was over 300*f, and rpms were about 800 with the key in the on position. He did find a couple of wires that needed repair but that hasnt solved the issue. He tried swapping out the ecm with one from another truck to see if it would still show those temps and the rpms and it did. He then put the original computer back in, unplugged the entire wire harness inside the engine bay and it was still showing those numbers. The only code it was throwing was for an ECT failure or something (I forgot to ask him what the number was). Are the IAT, ECT, and RPMS, in any way related?
Any ideas on what could be goin on? Thanks!
