I'm not sure if this is a new tool or not. I can't really find any info on it regarding price or availability.

 

might be nice to have if you do any side work away from the dealership.

[Bruce Amacker]

Why do you need it? Ground the IPR wire at the PCM KOEO- center connector, pin 2, yellow/red IIRC. It's easier, faster and cheaper than the tool. Just pull the battery cover off and the wire is right there- top row, almost to the rear. I have a pic of it in the DTS file somewhere.

 

Good Luck!

[Bruce Amacker]

 

Ignore the label, it's the wire marked "2".

I like Bruce's method better! Why would the tool use those plastic clips/tabs on the pigtail? I see those become britle after some extended use...

I made my own jumper from an old harness. pretty simple actually.

Wow.... gather 'round, young 'uns...

 

Techs are a lot like crows.... Crows love shiny things.. they will steal them where they can and cart them away to adorn some nest or altar or....

 

Techs love toys... shiney red boxes (well... they used to be red) full of shiney toys.... It doesn't matter if a tool is useful or not (God knows I have some real nifty toys I bought 30ish years ago that I only ever tried to use once - or even nonce and now I can only hope someone offers me money for them).

 

The tool truck. This insidious device is used by people that used to be you. They know a sucker when they see one... All you can think about is getting back to work, not about what you are buying (Ooooo - that looks sexy).

 

Have you ever wondered why the second thing the toolmonger says is "let's go out to the truck"?

guilty of buying anything i see

[Bruce Amacker]

Yea, I'm a tool junkie too, but I guess there are worse addictions....

 

[Keith Browning]

I made one as well... right after that I discovered the one Ford sent all diesel dealerships that goes into that miscellaneous tool kit.

 

This was a bad year as far as I am concerned. I spent less than $100 on tools this year, I have no winter work jacket and my work shoes are almost 1-1/2 years old.

 

Like Mr. Alton Brown (from Food TV fame) I like tools that multi-task. This is a good practice not only in the kitchen but vocationally as well.

[Jim Warman]

Alton Brown is one of my heroes.... even if he is the man that turns recipes into science experiments.

 

Even at my age, I cannot go a year spending less than $100 on tools.... I try to avoid tool trucks and tool aisles in stores.... "ooooo - a pretty... come home with Daddy..."

[dieseldoc]

I too try my best to not go on the tool trucks and stay out of tool stores. It inevitably costs me money to get out of their and generally it is at least a 50 dollar bill or more.

 

"Hi my name is robert and I have a tool addiction"

 

I can think of a lot worse things to be addicted to though, so all in all maybe its not so bad
