diagnostics: confirm ICP bleed-off via --crank (peak 376 psi)
Direct on-truck measurement with the verified 1446 ICP PID: peak cranking ICP 376 psi vs the ~500 psi firing threshold. FICM Main min 48.0 V (healthy), battery min 10.3 V (adequate). Diagnosis empirically confirmed: high-pressure oil bleeds off during cranking. 376 psi is "almost there" not zero, which fits a partial leak (IPR seat / oil rail O-rings / partial STC crack) rather than a fully blown STC fitting. - Capture the --crank output in crank-test-2026-06-30.txt - Add EMPIRICAL CONFIRMATION section to diagnostics README - Update handoff "resume at the truck" to lead with physical inspection (IPR -> STC -> oil rail O-rings), since the OBD-side diagnosis is done Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## ⭐ EMPIRICAL CONFIRMATION (2026-06-30 crank test)
|
||||
|
||||
Direct measurement with `--crank` and the verified `1446` ICP PID:
|
||||
|
||||
**Peak cranking ICP = 376 psi** — below the ~500 psi firing threshold.
|
||||
Full output in [crank-test-2026-06-30.txt](crank-test-2026-06-30.txt).
|
||||
|
||||
This is the smoking gun. Truck cannot generate enough ICP during cranking
|
||||
to open injectors → cannot fire on its own fuel → needs ether every time.
|
||||
Matches the symptom-set perfectly.
|
||||
|
||||
Side data from the same test:
|
||||
- **FICM Main min: 48.0 V** — healthy, corroborates the meter.
|
||||
- **Battery min: 10.3 V** — sag but adequate.
|
||||
- 376 psi is "almost there" not zero → suggests a **partial** leak
|
||||
(IPR seat / oil rail O-rings / partial STC crack) rather than a
|
||||
fully blown STC fitting (which would typically show sub-100 psi).
|
||||
|
||||
## ⭐ Key diagnostic finding: ether starts it every time
|
||||
|
||||
Spraying starting fluid (ether) into the intake **gets the truck to fire,
