I WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST BEFORE THE STREET BENDS TO THE LEFT MY TRUCK STALLED AND I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. DOING THE BEST I COULD I TURNED THE WHEEL JUST ENOUGH TO AVOID THE CAR PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET THEN I PROCEEDED TO RUN THROUGH MY NEIGHBOR'S WROUGHT IRON GATE AND PLASTER COMING TO REST ON THE HILL IN HIS FRONT YARD. AFTER ASSESSING THE DAMAGE, I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE IT. IT STARTED AND I MOVED IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THE BODY SHOP I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE DISCOVERED A FAULTY WIRE IN THE WIRE HARNESS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR SIGNS OF TROUBLE. LATER I LEARNED FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004-2005 MODELS FOR THE WIRE HARNESS SPECIFICALLY, THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON. *TR

RE ODI REPORT 10319552 : SOLUTION FINALLY REACHED REGARDING MY 2005 F250 SUPER DUTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH LACK OF ACCELERATION . IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL THIS DEVICE IS APPARENTLY FAULTY AS YOU RESEARCH IT IS COMMON ON ALL FORD 5.8L ENGINES BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT AFTER NUMEROUS SENSOR REPLACEMENTS AT THE ADVICE OF FORD AND QUITE COSTLY USUALLY $100.00 PER SENSOR AND MANY NEAR MISSES AS FOR LACK OF POWER TO ENGINE AND UNRELIABILITY OF WHEN IT WILL OR WONT HAPPEN THE IMRC CONTROLS THE AIRFLOW TO YOUR CYLINDERS AND UPON FAILURE WILL DECIDE TO EITHER STICK OPEN OR CLOSED DEPENDING ON ITS MOOD THUSLY CAUSING EITHER A TOO RICH OR TOO LEAN SCENARIO GOING UN REPAIRED WILL CAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE ALSO AT A REPLACEMENT COST OF $1700.00 +/- THE IMRC ONLY COSTS AROUND $67.00 BUT FORD WANTS $500- 600 TO REPLACE IT AS IT REQUIRES THE WHOLE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REACH THE IMRC WHICH IS MOUNTED DIRECTLY TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE REAR OF IT AND IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THIS WAY. WITH SO MANY FAILURES OF THIS PART A RECALL OR AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE OF ITEM SHOULD BE MADE AS WAS DONE ON FUEL INJECTORS THAT WERE INHERENTLY BAD ALSO. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF WHEN IMRC WILL ACT UP BE AWARE IT STARTS AS LOW OR NO TAKE OFF POWER WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AND IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST ALONG W POOR MPG CALL FORD AND COMPLAIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND SAVE YOURSELVES BUNDLES OF MONEY THIS TOOK ME 3 YEARS OF DEALING WITH FORD AND PRIVATE MECHANICS TO FINALLY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND AT A COSTS OF ABOUT $6000.00 IN UNNECESSARY SENSOR REPLACEMENTS . THIS IS ON 5.8L GAS FUEL INJECTED 3VALVE ENGINES IF YOU RESEARCH INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL THROUGH A SEARCH ENGINE YOU WILL SEE THE MULTITUDE OF FAILURES FOR THIS PART IT IS NOT VEHICLE SPECIFIC BUT ENGINE SPECIFIC.
