Hey gentlemen! Some know that i have went thru hell with this truck, just put a used engine in it and proud to say after several ......... SEVERALLLLLLLL minor issues the truck has towed its 7th car today
I have read 1.7 million post on Glowplugs since becoming a member however it does function properly when i go to start it up cold, it starts fine, no known issues. Once the truck is warm and i turn it off ( keep in mind i try to run it for several hours as i have been driving it to do roadside calls but the fuel burned makes it not worth it) so basically when its hot glow plugs will not activate or however you want to word it. I just read a post about someone having high idle issues etc... and i read the full thread trying to learn how the temp sensor works with the high idle etc... for my truck i just can't seem to figure it out.
If the high idle is to the left of ip pump and to the right of the thermostat housing , i can pull the rod all the way out and it doesn't touch the throttle lever, still has like a 1/2 inch gap. Im just letting you guys know what i see. Even before i changed engines and ip's , the old one didnt touch lever either as if it has wrong bracket but i confirmed it was teh original ip at 340k miles ( it now has new ip just so u know )
so to sum it up, gps won't initiate after engine is hot
secondly the high idle , even if replaced won't touch lever
any suggestions or knowledge is greatly appreciated. i figured i would put both inquiries in one thread.
