2003 Super Duty with 24valve cummins

Did you put the Dodge PCM in the truck. The ISB Auto/Manual ECM calibration shouldn't be changing much.

It sounds like the changes need to be made in the PCS 4R100 controller. Does it have definable shift points? What does the PCS controller use for input; TPS? I see the wire ties/splices coming from the TPS.

I have a manual harness but you don't need it. IIRC, the auto ECM/harness just has additional outputs to the PCM.

Pull that factory lift pump and fuel filter housing. Put a good lift pump or system on there like an AirDog. A small block chevy fuel pump cover will bolt-up to cover the hole that lift pump leaves on the side of the block.

Gauges? Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? You need one. If that stock lift pumps goes out and you don't see it you will be shopping for a new VP44 as well.

Your ECM has nothing to do with it if the other pieces aren't there to cause this problem.

You need to take a good look at that mess near the VP. Don't use those splices on there. That signal doesn't like any additional resistance as that will change the signal value. Does your PCS just need the actual TPS signal? That's only one wire. The ground and +5V reference shouldn't be needed unless PCS is doing something different in their box. The RPM signal is an odd one. What are you using for that? A Destroked kit? Is it the right tone ring? I'm sure PCS is expecting one like the factory uses, which is a pretty low tooth-count ring. If you are using either the Cam position sensor in front of the VP or the Crank position sensor near the rear of the block it will cause all kinds of odd things since the tone ring is different. You may be able to adjust that with programming, though.

I use an Adrenaline and it can monitor fuel pressure but you have to buy more pieces. I run a cheap Autometer Z fuel pressure gauge on the motor block from my AirDog. I would make getting a pump a priority. You can run a hollow banjo from the test port on the VP. You will need to make sure you get the parts to keep the initial pressure on start-up from destroying your sending unit. If you mount there you should put a turn valve on there so you can disconnect the gauge hardware. Just make sure you get a gauge that uses a sending unit and avoid the ones that want you to run fuel line into the cab.

If you go through my thread when I took my truck apart again you will see which parts of the Cummins harness you need. Mine is a ******* since I still use a few of the GM sensors (except tachometer) so my dash works AND the sensors the Cummins ECM wants to see.

Did you buy it this way or did you build it?
