Mine has a paperclip bypassing the sensor to turn off the light. It started as intermittent then finally failed. Also looking for a new sensor. Looks like it could be removed if you pry out the clip.

It Runs!!!! If I take the mechanics word for it that he did not find the injector pump gear out a tooth, I believe the root cause was that he broke the bracket off the crank position sensor and when he reinstalled it he got it aligned 90 or 180 degress out. This results in the timing being...

The link for Marine Diesel has an intercooler and a supercharger instead of a turbo on that motor.

Mechanic called me yesterday afternoon, he had taken the waterpump off to expose the injection pump gear and said it was correct and not off a tooth. I went over to see for myself and it looks okay. Using the core that is still in the back of the truck, I compared position of the timing mark...

I bought it a few weeks ago, with both the Ford and GM enhanced modes. I'm pretty happy with it, although it can take a minute or two to connect the first time it is plugged into the vehicle. Yes it sets TDCO, has time set, transmission, ABS and body codes as well. I would recommend the USB...

I think Chrisk1500 was right early on, the pump gear must be off a tooth, it answers all the scenarios. TDCO can be set normally with the pump in the "standard" upright position, because it is only comparing itself with the crank sensor signal, but since the gear is off a tooth the real...

Can anyone tell me how their engine runs while running in time set at 3.5 degrees? I'm curious how well they should be running in that mode? I think that the cam and crank are probably correct, since it runs so good when the timming is forced over. Since this new engine comes with a...

Today I started by marking my -1.58 TDCO IP position with a punch. When I moved the truck to a flatter area on the driveway the FSO does look almost perfectly vertical. This is an interesting site showing pictures of how far the marks can be out. I saw no advertising so I think it is okay to...

Yes, still tries to die in time set, but if you can keep it running it is at 3.5 actual when time set is commanded (varies a bit but 3.5 on average). TDCO offset is also problematic. As soon as you command TDCO learn the truck usually dies, so you have to restart it and try it mutiple times...

Okay, got TDCO offset to -1.58. Truck runs terrible, barely idles, white smoke continiously comes out of the tailpipe at idle. Very rough as you try and get it to rev up. Literally clouds of white smoke until you hit about 2900 rpm, and is really hard to start, not good at all. Does not...

Some positive results........After about an hour and a half I managed to get an offset of -2.20 and the pumps actual and desired timming are tracking together again. The IP is now advancing like it should. It was very hard to keep running when using the time set command to get it to 3.5 degrees...

Thanks so much for the response. Will try again exactly as you have suggested, but since it is just after midnight here, will not be able to do it till tommorow. Below is what I have already done. Have tried to set the FSO to a vertical position. I have two timing marks on the cover of...

Yes, temp is high and DTC's are cleared, but when I restart the DTC come back in 4 or 5 seconds. With the autoenginuity scanner if you initiate TDCO learn, the TDC offset value stays at zero until coolant temp comes up to 171 degrees then brings up the -2.46 value which I believe is the...

I just had a rebuilt longblock installed in my truck after putting a hole in #8 piston with 283,000 Km. Can't get injection pump to give any advance. I may not have it timed correctly, or so far out of TDCO that it is confused. I have an autoenginuity scanner with the enhanced GM protocol...
