Hey everyone....my 2013 F150 XLT 5.0 V8 has thrown code P2096. Been working on trying to clear the code but I am stuck on one of the things to check and that will be "Fuel Pressure Test". Well I can't figure out how to do that test as my truck does not have the "Schrader Valve". I do see a connection on the fuel rail on driver side, but can't figure how to remove that clip. Any suggestion on how I can do a fuel pressure test?
-So far I have replaces all 02 Sensors as they are over do. It's something I do to all my vehicles when the reach 100K
-Have done a vacuum leak test by spraying carb cleaner all over.
-Visual test of all connection and vacuum hose/lines, intake manifold and catalytic converter.

Next I am going to do a "smoke" test to see if I can find any leaks that I didn't noticed by spraying the engine. Made a neat home made smoke tester.....LOL

I am not familiar with reading and troubleshooting the code reader about "fuel trim" and have watch many videos about it, but I am still very lost. Here are some of the reading that came up on the code reader and I don't know where to go next: STFT B1 0.0
LTFT B1 11.7
STFT B2 2.3
LTFT B2 -3.1
In most of the videos they mention if you learn how to read these Long Term and Short term reading, that you will be able to go straight to the problem. I didn't as I hit a wall.....LOL
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and Happy 4TH to everyone and have a safe day.

 

You need a scanner to read out the fuel pressure PID. There's no place to connect a mechanical gauge.

 

It figures... I do have a Craftsman 87702 scanner. Maybe that might help if I ever learn how to read/use it....

How many miles are on the spark plugs? Have you tried running some Techron through the gas to clean the injectors? How well is the truck running?

 

Hey glc....sorry it took me to get back to you. Working on the truck and my pontoon boat is driving me crazy.
Yes, I have changed the spark plugs the other day as it was due and I use Techron religiously. The truck is running really good. Only change since code popped up was my mileage went to hell.
So far since Friday the milage is good again and no code. Hoping it works out now. If anything happens, I'll get back to you. Really appreciate your help. Thanks. Now I can concentrate on the pontoon motor....lol

 

Hey glc.....looks like it's finally fixed. Rode her hard to see if the code would pop up. Ran really good and my mileage is back up. Thanks for the help.
