Hello All, I'm new here, thank you for letting me join. I currently own a few IDI's 1984 F250, 85 F250, and a 1986 F350 all IDI. I hate to ask about Glow Plugs, as I have read over a lot of threads already. I was hoping to take a look at https://www.oilburners.net/threads/3346/ but it appears it no longer exists?
I have started to convert my 6.9 over to the 7.3, using DieselLogics controller and plugs, purchased the new style harness ends. and I thought it was fairly straightforward. However I have a really dumb question? The round "what I thought" was the old style controller on the back of the Drivers head, does it get disconnected? Or is that what tells this new controller the coolant temp?
I have the new diesel logic controller installed (didn't come with any diagrams or instructions), battery and orange high amp wires going to it, I have it grounded right to the battery, but I think i'm missing something on the trigger Black/purple wire and the wait to start wire... My new controller is never getting a signal to engage the solenoid. I can manually add power to it but that's it.
So I started looking at the wiring schematics, and wondering if its a coolant temp sensor? I can go grab some pictures if that is helpful. I am just stuck with the trigger and the wait to start light, and of course is the round thing the old controller, or a temp sensor, or both? and does it need to be there with this new system?
thank you very much in advance!
