eastendpowerstroke Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I got my first broken down 6.4L how I managed to make it this far I don't know. Anyway we swapped it to another dealer they pick it up and drive 3 miles starts bucking and check engine light on. p0193 FRP sensor code . I performed the pinpoint test to the point of checking the harness under the valve cover when I removed the valve cover I found the connector wasn't seated so I tried to seat it and it wouldn't lock on I found the "lock tab" of the connector was although complete and unbroken was kinda sprung (for lack of a better word) and wouldn't lock ala 7.3L UVC harness. My tip is next time I find this I will skip the pinpoint test and remove the oil filler/breather from the valve cover and look at the connector, mine was just about to fall off the sensor and could be seen clearly through the breather hole in the valve cover as seen in the photos. I'll include photos of my 5 cent ghetto fabulous zip tie repair on a brand new $60k truck, don't judge me it works perfect and I didn't have to wait for a new harness. photo 1 shows the FRP Photo 2 shows the connector not seating photo 3 shows my Ghetto repair photo 4 shows where the connector can be viewed with the breather removed.

Keith Browning Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I think we all have made use of a zip tie on an electrical connector at some point. I know I have. If it is the only fix at the time, it's not too "rigged" and is a lasting repair... besides, its under the cover so aesthetics wont matter either. Flame? I am actually impressed that for one, you figured out how to lock the connector on and two, pulled it off professionally! But if you insist: What is wrong with you! Did you order a new harness and call the customer back in? How can you sleep at night knowing that truck is running around the planet with that shoddy repair! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/boink3.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
