Big red
Greetings all,
after all the awesome input from all of you I got big red running! after installing a new IP (twice), CPS, fuel relay, new PMD, checking (and cleaning):h) every single ground, replacing fuses, checking all related wires, new LP, blowing small amount of air through fuel line to tank, I was ready to give up and along came my neighbor (GM service technician:mad2
he suggested we test the computer with a known working unit.
I figured what the heck, purchased a rebuilt unit, plugged it in and the rig fired right up! Moral to this story, ALWAYS check the simple things first! Tomorrow my neighbor will bring over his Tech 2 scanner so we can perform a TDC offset (-1.94) and see how she really runs. Being new to diesels this was an incredible learning experience that all you (you know who you are:thumbsup help me get through. THANK YOU!
Now the question is why did it (ECM) fail in the first place?
This all started with surging that got progressively worse until it just would not start leading me to believe it was the IP. Only threw codes when it surged and the rig never revealed codes when I tried to retrieve them. Any thoughts on this. Bad grounds?
