reminds me of a customer of mine said he had a crank no start condition. i got the truck towed to my house. I looked over to see if i saw anything and i did notice a new MAF sensor. I cranked it over to hear how it sounded cranking over. The truck took a while but it started up. I drove the truck down the street and it had hardly any power. On idle it would run fine but once i gave it some gas it just ran like crap and most of the time shut off. I was getting lean codes which was why they probably changed the MAF sensor. I felt it was definitely fuel related. I decided to change the fuel pump cause i could not figure out what it could be. no vacuum leaks or anything. Once i had the fuel pump out i can tell right away it was new. I compared it to the new one to make sure they were the same. I noticed that the old one had a rubber piece covering the bottom of the pump that feeds the fuel. I took the rubber piece out and just starting laughing. Well there's problem brother you forgot to remove the rubber piece when you took it out the box LOL

Those IHC diesels started on gas, then ran on diesel. There were 3 valves per cylinder. An intake, an exhaust, and a 1&1/8” diameter decompression valve witch lead to the spark plugs. Only IHC used this system. The WD40 came out in 1939, it was the first agricultural diesel tractor. It was hand cranked, mag ignition, run on gas to warm up, then switch over to diesel. Cat, John Deere and others used a gas pony motor to turn over the diesel motor.

I have been a mechanic since I was 14. I would recommend you getting a silver dollar spark plug gapper next time you go to Auto Zone. Also a good way to clean the inside of the terminals is at Ace Hardware or a hardware or a plumbing store, get some copper fitting cleaning brushes. I buy the ones with the looped handle. I cut off the loops, chuck it in my Makita drill. Cleans the terminals great. Also helps to clean drive shafts when replacing u-joints. I buy all 6 sizes. The 1/2” works on negative, the 5/8 works on positive. If you want to spread terminals without a battery terminal spreader pliers, use a heavy snap ring pliers made for snap rings without holes. Works a lot nicer than what you are doing! Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

RSR - Thank you! That is strangeness, but I had a similar some 42 years ago. I worked on Beetle's VW. For a summer, I worked as a mobile if it was broke, and in the driveway, if they got it there. I used Bosch plugs, but I had customers who had been to a garage and the Beetle's ran with misses. I had 4 engines I looked at, in a month. All had "the cham" plugs. I started from the distributor out, condenser, points, Vac Adv. All was fine. The difference was only the plug. I pulled the ones out of my engine and put them in the first one. It ran fine after, even on a spin it was fine, and 20 minutes before it ran with fits. So, I grabbed 2 sets of Bosch and fixed the first car. The second showed up and this time I started from the plugs back to the coil. Another set of new "cham". I replaced the plugs first. It ran fine. When the third arrived, again, fresh plugs that did not work. Asking myself Why? has been a lifelong habit. Cheers!

I notice customers call Earnest when they need to be rescued rather calling Earnest for what seems to be routine maintenance. Obviously the owner is a hack (Performed action without any practical knowledge and without doing any research).

The easiest way to get that stuck plug out is to get the engine up to running temperature first then shut it down, pull that coil and spray some penetrating spray down inside the hole immediately, just enough to make a small puddle of fluid surrounding the threads then leave it sit for a few minutes. After a few minutes of soaking and cooling off try to break it loose with steady pressure but if it only moves a fraction of a turn stop and give it more time to soak and add more lubricant if the puddle drains away. After a few times doing that it should come out and if the plug didn't eat the threads on the way in you should be able to thread chase the hole and be good to go. I had a vehicle get towed into my shop once because the owner tried to change the plugs himself and got all 8 cylinders out but couldn't get them back in. The problem was that a previous owner helicoiled all 8 cylinders incorrectly so when he removed the plugs the coils came out as well and he threw them in the trash so I had to figure out what style were used and buy them again and insert them correctly to fix the issue. That sounds fast and simple here but since it was the dreaded hemi it has 2 plugs per cylinder which makes everything more expensive and twice as hard to work on. 16 plugs at $15.00 a piece plus the helicoils to fix all of them that are crazy expensive means it cost him more for that repair than I have paid for several vehicles. Lol

When they "de-gapped" those spark plugs they knocked off the conductive tip from the center electrode.

My grandson has a 1998 S10 that the steering wheel was messed with breaking the security diode we have replaced the ignition switch we can't get it to run for only 2-3 seconds the security light flashes all the time is there a way to bypass the security to get this thing to run?
@gsc28663 жыл бұрын
Your suppose to turn the key to the run position without cranking. Wait until the security light stops flashing (10 mins or so) then turn the key to the off position repeat 2 more times and you should be good to go
