P30 chassis drama , Optic sensor , (Australia)

[Gravel]

AK everything In Australia costs a lot , but saying that the average wage is 75 to 150K a year , even plumbers earn $4000 a week here , In the mines you can crack $5000 a week driving a dump truck but its bloody hot work ,
so its all realitive to what the wages are , me i sit in an aircon office checking comunications equiptment , easy work good pay ,,
Even a 2002 motor home here costs $95000 ,, I wish i could grab some of your pick up trucks from the USA and bring here a dodge ram is pulling 167 thousand ,,,,,,,, big money ,,,,,,,

Might try doing the CPS/OS tests

Here's mine.

AK whats that brother ? CPS/OS tests

 

[Gravel]

AK ,,,, oh the CPS , crank pos sensor ,,, OK ,,,,, I though that there may be some drama there ,,, the engine light came on at about 60 kph but went off again about another 10 k`s up the road ,,,, i may swap it out for the hell of it ,,, do i have to shim the cps on a 6.5 or drop in and bolt up ?????

I forgot to say the truck starts first touch of the key , no hesitation at all as soon as she spins she fires up

AK whats that brother ? CPS/OS tests

unplug the OS and start the engine. It will crank a long time before it starts but it should start. If it does that means the CPS is good. If it does not, then the CPS or its wiring is bad.

now plug in the OS and unplug the CPS and start the engine. Again long crank but it will start. If it starts the OS is good. If it does not start the OS is bad.

you can do either one first, so if you suspect the OS, begin by unplugging the CPS first.

To add to what Will said when/if it starts it should run smoothly, no hiccups etc

 

[Gravel]

Thanks for that i will check it out later when it cools down a bit ,,,,

 

[Gravel]

Wll , Your a legend brother ,
The truck ran with the CPS unplugged , But would only try and start with the OS unplugged ,,,,
Looks like a crank sensor is needed ,,

That was all @ak diesel driver that made that call. I just answered when you asked him what he meant. He has taught that quick test to many on here including me. I used to take half hour with a scanner. So another winner winner chicken dinner to my friend in Alaska. Although, I would really offer him a steak not chicken. I mean, steak always beats chicken!
