It took several times before I could crank my truck and once it was started it smoked badly but did eventually clear up. It spit and sputtered on the way to work so I dropped it off at the mechanics shop. The mechanic inspected it and the fuel injector module was bad. I researched the recall list and called the ford dealership in mobile, al based on the recall list to have the problem repaired; gave them my VIN and was told that my vehicle was not included in any recalls. The dealership offered to repair the module for $900.00 however the federal safety agency id # 05v270000 says there is a recall concerning this issue.

The truck stalled and skipped on the interstate almost causing a collision on I 85. According to the tech the fuel injection control module goes bad in almost every ford f250 6.0 diesel engine when you hit this mileage. Not sure how we continue to give ford a pass on this common issue.

This 2005 ford f250sd I bought 3 years ago has been nothing but trouble. In the first 2 months of owning the vehicle the oil sensor switch went bad leaving me stranded twice. I finally talked ford into replacing the switch since it had only been 2 months from purchase. Then a year later the fuel control module this site says it is a recall for this year but ford says it is not. Cost $1200 now again not even 3 years later the oil switch blew out again. Even though a trained ford mechanic replaced it. It is costing $1500 to have replaced. With all the same complaints with this motor it is a wonder why ford has not made a recall.

Re odi report 10319552 : solution finally reached regarding my 2005 f250 super duty and the check engine light along with lack of acceleration . It has been diagnosed as the intake manifold runner control this device is apparently faulty as you research it is common on all ford 5.8l engines but ford refuses to address it after numerous sensor replacements at the advice of ford and quite costly usually $100.00 per sensor and many near misses as for lack of power to engine and unreliability of when it will or wont happen the imrc controls the airflow to your cylinders and upon failure will decide to either stick open or closed depending on its mood thusly causing either a too rich or too lean scenario going un repaired will cause catalytic converter failure also at a replacement cost of $1700.00 +/- the imrc only costs around $67.00 but ford wants $500- 600 to replace it as it requires the whole intake manifold to be removed in order to reach the imrc which is mounted directly to the intake manifold on the rear of it and is only accessible this way. With so many failures of this part a recall or at least an extended warranty coverage of item should be made as was done on fuel injectors that were inherently bad also. This is a potential safety issue that can cause an accident if you are not aware of when imrc will act up be aware it starts as low or no take off power when accelerator is pressed and is intermittent at best along w poor mpg call ford and complain as much as you can and save yourselves bundles of money this took me 3 years of dealing with ford and private mechanics to finally resolve this issue and at a costs of about $6000.00 in unnecessary sensor replacements . This is on 5.8l gas fuel injected 3valve engines if you research intake manifold runner control through a search engine you will see the multitude of failures for this part it is not vehicle specific but engine specific. Mileage start was 300000 final diagnosis and repair 98000.
