The other night I had these two codes. P0088 Fuel/Rail System Pressure too high along with P1000 OBD II monitor testing incomplete.
So, I cleared them and the truck ran fine, no problems nice and smooth. Rail pressure is steady. Well I go and hook up to the 5th wheel and when I start to take off, I get those same two codes again and now the rail pressure is fluctuating a whole lot and it feels like it's missing due to the fuel pressure dropping out. From like 15k down to 8k back up and back down. So. I guess I have to hit up Ebay now and spend 1k+ also some new fuel lines. |

Sucks. You could just LS swap it. Twin turbo lsx 173k miles on the original pump, it was time. Ah that's not bad at all, then. You work that 6.4 pretty regularly though right, in your 450-series chassis? Anecdote suggests that a 6.0/6.4 that's worked regularly survives a lot longer. |

The most it will sit is on Sunday's. Other than that About 40-80 miles a day and she always gets up to normal operating temp before shutting her down. I just wish I had a lift because I'd do a cab off and change the worn body mounts while I was at it. And I want to make sure it's my HPFP before I spend that money. |

I had someone tell me it may be a faulty fuel rail pressure sensor?
Looks like I need to search how to test that |

Electronic fuel pressure regulators going bad can cause that on a bosch setup Does the rail have a fuel pressure relief valve? Sometimes those can go and cause rail pressure issues.

I'm not sure about the pressure relief valve though. |

well well well, look what I have found on another forum.
Just to throw this out there, (show you how much diagnostics matter), I had one throwing the p0088 code. Looked at the tsb, and ordered a pump. Put it on, and a short time later, it was back with the same code. I took a long test drive with the IDS, and the cruise control quit. I talked to the owner and he admitted it would do that. Think about this one, when it would do it, it would also dim the lights (that was important). In the pcm connector, pin 39 is the FRP (fuel rail pressure) pin 16 (next to 39 but above it) is the generator (13.5 volts). They were shorting together internally when hitting a bump, setting FRP too high, and dimming the lights (13.5 volts going to 5). View Quote Not I need to inspect that before I go the new HPFP route. My cruise control was not working on those two days, I just assumed it was coincidence. I am hoping anticitizenone chimes in. I have no problem paying or bartering for consultation services. |

I had a frps go bad on my mustang once. I spent hundreds on my car and then someone mentioned the frps to me and it fixed it right up.
Try that first, should be pretty cheap. Mine had a vacuum line attached to it. If you unplug it from the sensor it's self and fuel starts dripping out or it smells like fuel that's the problem. |

View Quote yeah this one isn't expensive, but it's really high pressure so there's no vaccum line. I think I'll drive the truck over some bumps and watch the voltage to see if I have a short. |

That seems like the kind of problem that lots of trucks would have over time. That's the great thing about the internet, when they make millions of something, a pattern of gripes will emerge and it helps you diagnosis problems quickly. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The FRPS is under the right side valve cover. They go bad at times on those, as does the HPFP. There is also a wire harness that connects to the pump that causes some troubles. It is cheap so replace it when you have the pump out.
Have fun changing the pump with the cab on |

You'll love that creeper. If you don't have metric ratcheting wrenches get some of those too. That turbo setup is fucking heavy, we use a cherry picker to pick it up out of the engine compartment. |

Ran the truck again today after clearing the code from the last time I ran the truck.
after 20 miles, and several hard accelerations with Rail Pressure reaching 22-23kpsi and no codes being thrown I am starting to think either an intermittent short or a faulty rail pressure sensor. Now I am not a ford master tech, but I would assume that if it was really the pump or the pressure regulator on the pump it should have acted up on that drive?? Anyhow, I am waiting for my fuel filters to come in and when they do, I'll look at the fuel bowl for metal and contamination and if there isn't any I am going to replace the FRP sensor and go from there. |

View Quote We see that happen quite a bit when the HPFP harness/gasket gets fucked up, unfortunately its just about as difficult to change as the pump. Usually the code will trip, the truck will either die or go into limp mode, shut it off and wait a few minutes and the truck will start and run fine for a day or week or month. Fuel pressure issues have started to become a giant PITA in the last couple years. |
