Well if I pull it out and napa won't take it back the. I will mod it. But the napa here is family owned and I went to school with the guys runnin it today.

I'm just a little "in" here myself. All their competition, including the new auto zone are on the highway, they are not. They are watching there $! They do Cummings, any diesel or bearing, gas, (O2 ect) fire extinguishers....I'll support them. It would be a huge loss to this community if Mall Wart and Zoned Auto put them out of business.

Kris smith

Yes it would

Well that said, I just ordered pc307 from RA. $36, shipped, (only 2.60 shipping). Was about $55 at Napa. I'm gonna do the advance Mod on my Echiln, run mid grade, and check the (relative) $/mile. I'll have the pc307 if I break something!

Kris smith

wonder if the mod will help. and just to make sure im not a total ijeeot ther is only one way to install the sensor and thats with the pig tail pointing forward ?????
and i see your sig about the scanner thing. i learned that when i asked for one at tghe store to clear my code that i had repaired in mt s10. i was like really !!!! i left my scanner at my shop that day

DFlintstone

Yea, it only fits one way. Yea, two different neighbors rigs are dead and it's frustrating not being able to help much.

DEFINITELY do the drill mod.

This help ya?

Kris smith

yeah thats how i think i installed it. but i was thinking would be just my damn luck to put it in wrong and **** myself. ill do the drill mod to the pc307 sensor. i hate having a dead rig thats why i sold the 88

Kris smith

Pc307 is in my hands. Too bad my hands are at the laundry mat for a while. Maybe I'll get it installed afterward

Better than scratching your ..............

Don't drop the bolts!!!

Stuff something under the CPS so you don't drop the bolts into the bell housing.

Kris smith

Well my inspection cover is still open. So yeah. I got it this time I have my magnet from work with me to help with install

Kris smith

Well me pc307 has been drilled on the top bolt hole to 3/8 installed checked voltage I'm getting 4.98 vac while cranking. But the battery is getting weak again from all the not running and all the cranking. I am getting smell of raw fuel at the tail pipe. It's loading up now wasn't doing that before. Still no spark. I pulled plug wire 3 stuck a pocket screw driver into it and grounded it on the v/c no spark. I smacked the coil and nothing. But hey it's progress I'm getting injector pulses

See post 4. Good reading off the CPS though.

Kris smith

Will do tomorrow after work. I'll bring he my t20 and some emery cloth and the special Mercedes Benz AMG contact cleaner Stantovac( pretty sure it's paint thinner) but the **** works amazing on our connector. You would think working on Benz cars I would be better at this jeep stuff. But honestly we do t ever see anything this complex or should I say simple and logical.

I'll delete this Thursday. Since you dable in teck I thought I'd share the laugh.

A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which can’t be controlled in a cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed across the line so that customers all the way down the supermarket don’t get pissed off and buy someone else’s product instead.
Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort.
The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution — on time, on budget, high quality and everyone in the project had a great time. They solved the problem by using some high-tech precision scales that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighing less than it should. The line would stop, and someone had to walk over and yank the defective box out of it, pressing another button when done.
A while later, the CEO decides to have a look at the ROI of the project: amazing results! No empty boxes ever shipped out of the factory after the scales were put in place. Very few customer complaints, and they were gaining market share. “That’s some money well spent!” – he says, before looking closely at the other statistics in the report.
It turns out, the number of defects picked up by the scales was 0 after three weeks of production use. It should’ve been picking up at least a dozen a day, so maybe there was something wrong with the report. He filed a bug against it, and after some investigation, the engineers come back saying the report was actually correct. The scales really weren'’t picking up any defects, because all boxes that got to that point in the conveyor belt were good.
Puzzled, the CEO travels down to the factory, and walks up to the part of the line where the precision scales were installed. A few feet before it, there was a $20 desk fan, blowing the empty boxes out of the belt and into a bin. “Oh, that — one of the guys put it there ’cause he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang”, says one of the workers.
