    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    So a little hard to see but with the optic sensor out and the injection pump off I can see very small white pieces of debris floating around in the fuel almost microscopic. Would this be enough to make the data disk read improperly?

    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    Yes this is true but with the optic sensor unplugged the truck will run and idle smooth but with it plugged in it runs like crap and misses

    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    Yea I did try that no bubbles coming from the return just clean fuel. The truck will start up and run fine if you leave it setting for a day but after about a min of running idle it goes to skipping and surging so I wonder if it's dirt settling in the pump and after a fee seconds of running it...

    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    It's running clean fuel and I have the dual fuel filter system installed that keeps my fuel pressure around 15 at idle and 13 cruising. Plus I still have my canister filter on top of the engine. I did manage to pull the optical sensor out and mark exactly where it was and cleaned it with...

    Yes it was timed with a laptop when the ip pump was replaced but I didn't check it when I cleaned the optical sensor. Flash code was 31

    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    I'm currently waiting for the obd1 USB to read the codes off my laptop but after purging all the fuel lines and injector lines truck makes no difference. If you touch the throttle pedal at all the engine redlines until it's shut off or put into gear

    Has anyone cleaned an optical sensor?

    So recently I had to replace my lift pump due to it failing. As soon as I replaced the pump and drove down the road the truck started skipping and bucking and lost throttle. I read on another forum on how to test the optic sensor by unplugging it and starting the truck. The truck started normal...

    1995 c3500 having some issues with the optic sensor on it I purchased one from a place called Johnathan tacker store and I'm pretty sure I got scammed.
