Had a few hard starts (maybe 10 out of 100) over the last 2 weeks, a little less than normal acceleration from a dead stop and some white smoke at startup.

No loss of Fuel Pressure and above 30 mph it felt like all 500 horses were alive and well (unless loss of power gradually snuck up on me).

Was showing the P1693 code. Had it scanned today and got P0216. Another dying VP44 Injector Pump!

Guess 88,000 miles is better than some.

That sucks.....I guess even with good fuel pressure they just give up.

Mine did! I had good fp the whole time, and it died at 40K.

RJ-- you had to have it scanned to get the 0216 to show up? Mine showed up using the key trick.

Key only showed companion code - P1693.
Guess I should be thankful it did not die in the middle of nowhere?

Mine CTD is still running. Did yours die totally? Maybe that's the difference.

We had a dyno at the Racetrack Saturday night....I knew something was not right when I put down 441 HP.....about 80 less than expected!

Yup, Like the Waco Club's Camping weekend in the 13,000th largest city in Texas! I know it's small, Blue...but I think it still starts with a capital 'S' ?
At least, if my VP-44 died at our weekend, I would have had "Facilities"

Ehh. If it ain't on the map then it don't really matter does it. Now Rosenberg is definately on the map so it will be a lot easier to find my place next meet if things pan out.

It never died completely. Just acted funny with regular dead pedal and weird noises.

It would sound like a switch had turned off the engine clatter at 2000 rpm-- it just hummed with no rattle.

I still get occasional bouts of dead pedal, but I'm convinced it's the APPS. I get APPS codes. It always comes back and starts working in a couple seconds.

Just annoying, nothing major.

Turn the key to "on" (not start, just on)
Then off/on/off/on leaving it on.
Watch the odometer window, codes will read out there.
P-PCU followed by any codes in the PCM, P-ECU followed by the ECM codes, then ending with P-Done.

If no codes follow the PCU or ECU, then no codes that can be retrieved with this method are present.

When mine went @ 52k I had to do the same. No codes with the key trick would show, but when the dealer scanned it, both codes came up P1693 and P0216.
