During cranking, the high-pressure oil system (HPOP) on a 7.3 Power Stroke typically operates at around 500 to 1,000 psi. This pressure is necessary for the injectors to function properly, as they rely on high-pressure oil to facilitate fuel injection. If the HPOP pressure is too low during cranking, it can lead to hard starting or no-start conditions.
high pressure oil pump
check the oil level in the hpop.
Its located on the HPOP under the turbo. It is accessable fro under the truck, it is on the drivers side rear of the engine. You'll need an 1 1/16" socket to remove it.
The maximum pressure for a 7.3L High Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) in Ford diesel engines is typically around 3,000 psi. This pressure is crucial for ensuring proper fuel injection and engine performance. However, actual operating pressures may vary depending on the specific application and modifications made to the engine. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for the most accurate information.
the hpop on a 99 7.3 is on top of motor right in front of fuel filter it should have a tag that tells part #
yes i did it
Engine oil HIGH pressure from HPOP pump is TOO LOW. Sometimes just an oil change to 15-40 rotella can alleviate problem BUT usuallly the oil plugs push out of the high pressure pump and cause low oil pressure to the injectors or the ICP sensor failed. the injectors must have high pressure oil to open and allow fuel to flow. the 6.0 hpop is in engine valley just under oil filter housing..do not attempt to replace if your not a ford diesel tech..can be very expensive lesson if you're not familiar with this engine.. normal cost for this oil pump repair is about 3,000.00.
It is located on the top of the HPOP High Pressure Oil Pump center of engine in back by firewall. Takes a 34mm flat wrench or a handy dandy ford cut out socket.
It's actually called the Injection Control Pressure Regulator or IPR. It controls the amount of oil pressure to be delivered to the cyl heads from the high pressure oil pump. It is screwed into the HPOP and is visible if looking down from the top of the engine right of the fuel filter housing down lower. It has a 2-wire connector and is a little tricky to replace on that model year. Bend or cut down a wrench or just remove the fuel filter housing to make your life a little easier. It's field coil is held on by a 19mm nut and the actual valve is a 1-1/4" or 1-1/8" wrench size to remove if memory is correct. Good luck. Hope this helps and clarifies the definition and description of this very busy valve!!
Well not sure of the question?? The fuel delivery is by a frame mounted fuel pump produces approx 50-60psi. The fuel is then put threw the fuel filter and then interduced to the cyl head then the fuel injectors and when the time is right is delivered to the cyl. The injectors are called HEUI injectors fired by high pressure oil pressure. A low side oil pump pulls oil from the oil pan and put into the HPOP (high pressure oil pump) resivior. That low pressure oil is then converted to high pressure approx 3000psi at any given point. That oil is also introduced to each cylinder head and injectors. When the injector is electronically energized the oil pressure forces pincle valves in the injector down and delivers the fuel (SIMPLE TERMS) So you need at least 55psi of fuel pressure and at least 500+ psi of oil pressure to start a 7.3L DI. You would need a scan tool to monitor ICP INCECTOR CONTROL PRESSURE. and even more specialty tools to dead head the HPOP and or the cyl heads. Lots of times the HPOP line o'rings will blow out and need replacing. Your best bet is to rent a scan tool and pull codes. If your get ICP codes Low while cranking, Low/High while running etc. You may need to take it to a dealer to do the correct tests to the high pressure oiling system. Just make sure you have fuel pressure. Pin-point test for ICP codes can be set due to low or restricted fuel flow. I feel like you think that your HPOP may be faulty only real way is to do the proper tests to oiling system. Or you could spend the better half of the morning replacing it and about $500-600 bucks on a hunch??? Good luck and be well. Oh yeah one more thing. If you remove a plug on top of the oil resivior and it is empty you could try and fill it with 15w-40 and see if it starts. If it does then dies then you know you have a problem with your low side oil pump and or pick-up tube. If you have a more detailed question feel free to send me a message I would be more then happy to help!! Powerstroke57
On a 1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine, the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) sensor is located on the high-pressure oil pump, which is situated on the driver's side of the engine. It's typically found towards the rear of the engine, near the valve cover, and is connected to the wiring harness. To access it, you may need to remove some components or covers for better visibility and reach.
The 7.3L does not use an injector pump like the 6.4L or any other commonrail diesel. The 7.3 uses HEUI injection which uses a HPOP(High Pressure Oil Pump) to pressurize the engine oil. To check to see if this pump is operating as it should you first need to open the cap on the high pressure oil reservoir and make sure it is almost full. This reservoir is the one at the front top of the engine and squarish. If that checks out good you need to put a scanner on the truck and do a test of the ICP pressure
