So I went to the local dealer today to have them reflash my Glow Plug Module. On the service report they said they flashed the ECM (which I didn't ask for, but I'm stock anyhow), and the GPCM. Picked truck up, ran great. Got back to work, sat for ~5 more hours in 10* and below. Went out to leave, fired up fine. High idle goes and the truck chokes, sputters, shits its pants, whatever you wanna call it. And dies. Dead. Start it back up, idles. Give it ANY gas, nothing. P0102 code and SES light. Hmm. I have a spare fuel filter and 911 and Stanadyne so I change the filter, throw some additive in, and fire it up. Fires up great. Idles fine. It could idle for 24hrs if it wanted, it ran that smooth, no extra smoke. I go to leave, and ANY type of throttle input results in sputtering/choking/etc. etc. I park it, call up my buddy who is a mech, he says tap on the MAF, then if that doesn't work, unplug it. So I unplug it and I drove home. But driving home it felt like it had only 5 gears, and I didn't feel ANY turbo. Alright I understand that with the MAF unplugged I should be in open loop, correct? But I'm somewhat confused over why it felt like I only had 5 gears. This is the first time I ever flashed the car so could it just have to relearn things? I would've thought though that after starting at the dealer it would've given me this behavior. At 40mph I was at 2100rpm and it wasn't upshifting. I didn't hear a whole lot of turbo either. Any ideas? I'm going to start tomorrow morning with some MAF cleaner and see what that does. The good news is that the glow plug code is gone HAHAHAH. Thanks!
First fuel filter change in 5* with the wind blowing in the dark in my work parking lot. The good news is that it shouldn't really be any worse in the future changing it :D
