Congrats Jim! You must super proud!

Hey Guys! Just thought I would pick your brains (mmmmmmm brains...) before asking Epson directly. I have a print/scanner all-in-one dealie that constantly leaves a black streak through the center of the duplicate copy. The streak is about an inch thick and runs through the center of the page. I have narrowed it down to the scanner portion, the printer itself is trouble free. I haven't used this combo much, bought last year for my final round of trade school..this issue just started on tuesday Any ideas? I tried wiping it's ass but the streak still stays....

Good work!

I wasn't planning on doing anything for Halloween but I was dragged out to some bars last night for a couple hours. Prior to heading out I had shaved my beard into a dirty moustache for "Mo-vember" (grow/wear a moustache for the month of November in support of prostate cancer). I threw on my denim tuxedo, grabbed my work boots and bass pro hat and headed out...made sure to drink nothing but budweiser last night....

I find even talking out loud to myself helps...Yes, I may look crazy but hell, who's still relatively sane after working on these things?

I had three filters do that back in the summer of '09. None were motorcraft though...

Once you swap out the rotary you have destroyed the car...any true rotary car nut will tell you that. I`ve seen the conversions done, but just not a fan... I sure wouldn`t mind owning that Crown Vic though.

I've done a mock-up of a 1.9tdi in a first gen rx-7, the mock-up was as far as I went, I couldn't handle the heckling from my fellow "club members"...

Had to show all the boys at the dealership that one.....

Re-verified my diag, performed all suggested diag and still came up relatively empty handed, replaced PCM and issue is now resolved! Thanks for all your help guys!!!

I had checked for any of these conditions/issues but will check again....

Thank you very much for your info and help! I'm the only diesel tech for our three dealerships so I get spread pretty thin...I haven't had a chance to get back on this unit for the last few days...You've given me some good leads to check into, hopefully I can get this thing fixed and out of my hair...

I did verify my App Pids and everything checks out fine, even against a like unit... Aaron: The RPM_DES pid is usually at 850rpm, except for that one cold start where it was 748rpm but RPM_DES and actual RPM are always relatively close...

Thanks for posting the link to the "Lying PCM" thread... Tech line advised me to replace the PCM, I have ordered one but I have that gut feeling that it won't fix this issue. It's not like I haven't been burned by tech line advising this before....

Started the unit this morning after sub zero over night soak. Truck started with no issues but idled at 748rpm instead of 850rpm...Idle slowly came down .5rpm/sec. ICP_DES and ICP remained at 875psi, IPR @ 30.7%. Commanded RPM to 500. ICP_DES and ICP @ 690PSI and IPR @ 27.3%. ICP Pressures too high for RPM, IPR too high for RPM. Performed road test - After road test unit returned to 850rpm idle... Have replaced IPR and ICP already... Checked Vbatt again, no issues. Fuel Pressure is 48psi under heavy accel..Sync and FICM sync are properly operating as well...I am going to check tomorrow for rust under cam sensor, the o-ring is leaking anyways....

I have monitored VBAT and it seems to be operating correctly. Even when the high idle kicks in VBAT doesn't really change, remains at a relatively constant 13.6-13.8volts. It's not an ex-ambulance and is a single alternator system. I will perform the rest of the suggested tests tomorrow, thanks for the help!

I never had any luck when using the impact, loads of heat and the three foot johnson bar is the only method that works for me...

A 2007 Econoline Cube came in with transmission concerns and rough running when cold. Injectors 1 + 7 were dead on power balance when cold, slowly come around and then operated properly after 5-7 mins of idling. Performed fuel pressure tests, cylinder contribution tests and then replaced the two injectors. Re-assembled unit and now idles at 850 rpm...Unfortunately I never made note of any elevated idle concern prior to replacing injectors. Have checked for stationary elevated idle controller - wires have not been touched, remain blunt cut. Have verified EOT, ECT, APP, MAP, BARO, EBP, TR sensor, Alternator Output, ICP (bias/operation) and IPR without any issues present. Verified leaks at d-rings, none present. On road test load PID very erratic at times, truck cuts in and out, falls on its face, no other pids showing concern. When initially started the truck will idle at 650rpm with a commanded idle of 650 rpm, idle time can vary from 2 seconds - 20 seconds then "kick" into high idle. Truck can be commanded down to 650rpm and ICP and IPR switch accordingly. When rpm command released truck idles back up to 850rpm. When manually comanding the IPR, ICP and RPM change accordingly. Have disconnected ICP and RPM still remains at 850rpm. Tranny codes are present but no codes present for engine. Any help would be great, thanks!

Did you somehow make your wife cross? Mushy peas, maybe.... but mushy asparagus...bwahhhhhhh

what ever would possess you to eat canned asparagus??

It's going to be hard wedgin' myself into econolines on tuesday after all this turkey and pumpkin pie.

The customer didn't/couldn't leave the truck with me, so he has taken it back. No VDR, said he would come back when it got worse... I have ran into fuel aeration issues a couple of times. His symptoms didn't sound like it.....

I've seen airboxes glued back together with margarine container's...a customer of ours loved to use ether on his 7.3 but he also loved repairing his airboxes. He later retired that truck due to excessive crankcase pressure...

Im going to install a VDR and let the customer take the truck back, the only way I can really figure out whats going on...

Two things I buggered up: 1) I should have mentioned pressure was taken at HFCM, pressure at secondary filter was around 60psi... 2) The icp sensor isnt located under the back of the turbo so this engine IS NOT an early build (door tag said third month)...
