could be a bad valve in the master cylinder. Lets say you get a hole in the brake line on the left hose, the valve will divert the brake fluid away from that side essentially sealing off the leak so as to no lose all the brake fluid. it's basically a safety feature. If the valve is stuck to one...

Got a buddies cube van with a 6.9L. Will only start while plugged in for about 30 mins and longer. Replaced glowplugs, direct wired in a switch to control the glow plugs. 12V at the glow plugs, 12V on both large posts on the GPR while the glow plug button is pressed. Glow plug controller...

Is there something that senses atmospheric pressure? Today is was a little cooler and raining and the truck ran like a champ. No high RPM stumble or nothing. I kept trying to get it to buck but nothing doing. I've previously unplugged the MAP connector but that didn't get rid of the issue. Just...

it doesn't smoke at all so I would have to assume there is nothing wrong with the O-rings.

I bought the BWD one but still have the issue. that was the cheapy one. I'm gonna get the motocraft one this week. I have an OBS not the SD though. Intermittent wipers? Do I roll the windows down and blink my eyes 5 times too? not sure I follow you there.

original injectors. Injector Armature clearance? that's anew one to me. Can you elaborate?340,000 kms

I am at the end of my patience with this issue. My truck died on me a few weeks ago cooking the IDM. I had noticed a "dead spot" at around 2400-2600 rpm. It feels like a rev limiter or a top speed governor cutting out the fuel. The truck died and didn't start up again until I replaced the IDM. I...

I got the PCM back from being flashed and they said it would not download so the PCM is cooked. I'm gonna send my tuner back to Tony Wildman and see if he can salvage or even test it. I don't wanna cook another PCM if the chip is toast too. I'm still on the hunt for a PCM though. Not easy to find.

that was the most undramatic frying then. no noise just shut the truck down. I wonder if Tony would reburn it. I'd hate to run stock where I live.

tied a reman IDM but it would not run a buzz test, tried a second and that worked, started the truck but I made the bonehead mistake of not turning the truck on before putting my chip back into the PCM and she stalled as soon as the chip touched the PCM. Won't start now. Thinking it's now the...

I need one. My truck is sitting dead at my shop.

Looking for a PCM for a 97 F250 manual trans.

Swapped the CPS, no go. Went through all the tests with the snap-on Solus scanner, IPR and ICP sensors both checked out fine, checked power and ground at IDM. Software at work says my IDM is pooched. Got a good friend sending me an IDM but it's gonna take a few days to get here. I hope that's...

no smoke while cranking, injectors probably not firing but rail is getting fuel.

1997 F250 HD 4X4 5 Speed Electric Fuel, Tony Wildman 6 pos chip On the way home from work today which is a 20 min highway drive t\he truck started to sputter and cough with a loss of power. I was intending on filling up because I was low on fuel and luckily there was a filling station nearby so...

So after many years of teasing and ridicule I have finally purchased a Dana 60 for the front end of my 97 F250. Since I am a heavy duty diesel mechanic I have all the tools of the trade and equipment to make this a relatively smooth swap but I have a few questions before going any further. The...

I've gone so far as to run a 0 synthetic in the Winnipeg winters but it was so thin that some leaks started to develope so I haven't done that again. I agree that the weather I was talking about was extreme and not really a fair comparison. Just thought I'd share what I had to go through...

The first year I owned my truck was an extremely cold winter. It was between -33 and -45 celsius for about 2 months straight. It would take me an hour to get my truck started every morning before I went to work. I had it in a garage, plugged in, an oil pan magnet heater and I had to put a...

If you have a bad signal in the intake air temp, you may be getting a bad air fuel mixture. Your intake temp sensor may be giving a reading so far off mormal that you are getting either too little or too much fuel. Any distinctive smoke after it started? If it stumbled then went back to normal...

Having driven my 7.3L in Winnipeg, the coldest place on earth outside of Siberia, I realized two things. 1. I always warmed my truck up in high Idle 2. The EBPV was utterly useless. I know there are gonna be some that will strongly disagree with me on these points but having driven in such...
