Hello my name is Juan. Thank you in advance for any and all advice and or tips. I have a 2002 Ford F150 Lightning. VIN 2FTZF0736CA33991 Miles approximately 125k. I've owned this truck since 2019 with 116k and ran fine until I blew a piston during WOT in 2020. Had the motor rebuilt and ran fine no issues. Had another mishap in 2021 this time just normal driving on my way home. Took it to again to the shop where it was rebuilt again and I was called the moment the truck was up and running smooth. On my way to pick it up my mechanic called me and said to hold on since the truck stalled and since then it has not started. Cranks but no start. Will occasionally start for like a second or 2 then shut off. I've have it scanned with the codes
B1352
B1371
B1610
P0500
I've asked around and been told the main culprit may be the B1352 code so I had the keys reprogrammed and nothing. New ignition switch and nothing. New fuel pump and nothing. New crank sensor and nothing. New battery and nothing. Checked fuel rails and she spits fuel. Checked and switched around the main relays 301-306 and fuel related fuses. Put some ignition fluid which helps startup but still shuts down. I don't know what else to do and I just want to drive my truck thay I worked hard for. Please any help will be much appreciated.
Well that code is only for the key and ignition alarm. It has nothing to do whether the car starts or not. Now that thing said for 2 years. Geez, there's so many things that could have made it do that and then more things will happen while it sits unused. But those things I've always had problems with their NIT theft system. So I would advise perhaps starting with having a locksmith who works on them. Look at it to see if it's the anti-theft system. Because without a fancy scan tool that good mechanics and good locksmiths have you'll never be able to figure out what's going on with that system. It's not a DIY thing
Thank you Scott. My local locksmith is the one who pulled those codes and advised that the B1352 is most likely the culprit from all those trouble codes. Although he mention it could also be a bad ground. I've check for any loose grounds and no go. I've also removed the fuel in the tank and put new premium fuel to make sure it's not bad fuel causing the issue. No death codes either from the theft light on dash. Just goes away when the ignition is activated.
