Any help would be cool, customer already has a starter extra on this bill, would hate to replace the pcm too!!! ]]> http://www.canadiantechnician.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2420 2010-08-26T18:26:32 -05.00 jeffcompton 13

The last time the customer, who is a heavy duty tech put the pulley back on and replaced the OE bolt with a different style that appears to hold torque properly.
This thing will barely pull itself and is very sluggish.

We've checked the valve timing, fuel pressure, cylinder compression and exhaust for restricton with no problems found. Cylinders # 1&3 show mis fire on scanner but the engine appears to run smooth.
Key on-engine off the timing shows -88deg. When it starts-it shows -67deg but will go to -22deg when the engine is reved up. I don't know a lot about these things and would like to know if this timing is normal or if avyone has and other ideas. After starting the engine and disconnecting cam sensor, the timing does the same thing as before. ]]> http://www.canadiantechnician.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2391 2010-05-24T18:06:25 -05.00 novascotiatech 5 . Thanks to the internet I have parts ordered right now for three of his vans that he is having issues with.
The one that is a little puzzling is his diesel, came in no start about three months ago with a nasty list of codes, diagnosed fuel module as per the normal with these diesels , replaced and it ran like a dream. Every once in a blue moon however the van pops up two codes, and reverts to back up fuel mode (gets loud, poor starting/performance). The code is crank reference and boost below 5psi, however when we get it in its always working great, clear the codes he takes it and bingo pops in again in a few days.
These two sensors do share a ground, so thinking one is pulling down both of them, anyone seen any issues with the diesels and crank/boost sensor codes poping in at once but problem recreating in the shop? Once it comes in going to look at both of them for possible issues but always like to have a set game plan before I start ]]> http://www.canadiantechnician.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2389 2010-05-19T14:24:21 -05.00 darrell 4 http://www.canadiantechnician.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2388 2010-05-17T21:25:43 -05.00 bigblockbob 4
This vehicle had a shifter interlock not operating sometimes. Looking at diagrams the circuit goes from the fuse to the interlock solenoid then splitting to both the brake switch and PCM.

Before I had a chance to hook up my scanner and see if the PCM was seeing a signal from the brake switch the interlock started to work normally. So I took the chance and ordered a brake switch from Chrysler. The vehicle worked perfectly for about 3 weeks.

Today the customer informed me that yesterday the interlock started acting up. He brought the vehicle in and it tested fine for me all day long.

Does anybody have suggestions for me? ]]> http://www.canadiantechnician.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2385 2010-05-06T10:47:59 -05.00 ALLNUTS^nobolts 10
so far we have learned that a chev epica is the same as a suzuki verona. and a chev optra equals a suzuki reno.

"even the boys at the dealer couldn't tell me what else it might resemble"

does it exists somewhere a magical list, or do we all keep it secret?

perhaps we can build it here. ]]>
