So now that I've had my very 1st exposure to OBDI, I'd like to buy a scan tool, so I can see the stuff Buddy showed me. He was using his laptop, so should I use mine? Or buy a dedicated scanner? I'm not very computer savy... My Dell is 5 years old, but works OK... where do I start? I have 2...

Sorry I havn't posted in several days... I'm home, all went according to plan... Approx 7,000 miles, Mrs has been keeping track of the fuel bill, $125 per day for 3 weeks, 1/2 to be paid by my traveling companion. So with the price of the Sub, airfare to Az, and all hotels, meals etc, it's about...

I've got a huge Suburban... Room fer a few extra passengers! Ride along!!!

I live on the edge of the Adirondacks near Lake Champlain, and drove my Hyundai 200 miles to a friends house in Maine to leave w him from his airport. Mine is too far away, would require parking @ $10 or so per day. By driving to Portland Maine, his daughter drove us to the local airport, and...

Tailgate in the way? I def prefer it.. The barn doors have the middle pillar... Junk... And I like the tailgate as a work surface. It's also harder to drive w the barn doors open...

It's unreal that so many things were wrong. Even Buddy was scratching his head till he plugged in his computer... He knew what he was looking for, the videos will show alot of what we discovered, and repaired http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMclPmdVoQw

Well boys and girls... It's all fixed, and the proof is a speeding ticket I just got outside Palm Springs at 87MPH... So what was the prob??? Many... I will attempt to repeat what we discovered in 6 hours of diagnostic work. I have near zero knowledge or experience w electronics, so bear w...

I got there after dark, his steaming dinner on the table. So we just hooked up the computer and checked every reading, swapped to his computer, checked the IP tag # and wiggled a few cables. I believe someone was touching things they shouldn't have, who knows how long ago. I have very little...

Thx fer the correction! I'm going to see Buddy this AM, and sorry to be behind in my vids, I'm making so many, so try to keep them in order, which means when I post, it's from 2-3-4 days ago...

BTW, it's CORVAIRWILD, pls change the "N" to a "R"

Thx fer moving this to a new thread. I tried to put in the vehicle, but didn't know where it went. It's a 1994 Suburban 2500 4x4 6.5 TD. Latest update? I made it to the central coast, took some great pix at Pismo Beach, met up w Buddy, and he worked on things f a couple hours. We'll move the...

So I drove it over the San Luis reservoir pass, chugged up at 25mph, not a prob, and made it to Fresno, and she stalled once while idling, and was stupid hard to start. I unplugged the OS, and unscrewed the fuel cap a tad, no change at all, so I plugged the OS back in, and she started quicker...

I'm in touch w Buddy, and I really think its an air leak. It needs a pressure vacuum test. Cracked fuel line? It runs down the road all day at 55-60, never skips a beat, but now is stalling after idling. I changed the PMD to a remote that was installed and unused, but stalled 10 minutes later...

Buddy, can you text or call me? I'm in San Jose area, things are getting a little worse... Andrew 5one857two645zero

So I drove the Sub to San Jose, just outside San Francisco, chugging up the pass by the San Luis reservoir, 25mph, never skipped a beat, and it's down on power cruising the flatlands to Morgan Hills Cal...only runs 52mph It now has stalled twice while idling, and I had to spray silicone (lube...

We thot about the air in fuel... I wish I woulda had the computer shipped from the parts truck in Kansas. I'll stop by there on the way home to try plug it in. Here's the link from yesterday's opt sensor attempt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nfajNzVqKA

I don't have the time, gotta hit the road... But I've got a video saving rite now, so I'll post the link when it's done. It shows my Sub when the shop was tinkering w it

Yeah, if a moderator wants to move my stuff around, that would be fine. We're in Carona California this AM, going to cold crank er up, and fill the hotel parking lot w smoke. She'll cough to life, stall a couple times... At least the ignition lock cylinder is new, and 2 new batterys, and good...

Code 18, the filter is a clip on bunch of magnets, which just snap around the wire. I wanted to remove and replace with the newer style from the parts truck, but the fellow was aggravated, and wanted me to leave. CPS? I made as much vid as he would allow, and will post in a day or two

So here's the update... I stopped in at a Diesel/electric specialist in El Cajon-San Diego, and he checked all the electrical, and after a couple of hours he changed to the used Optical sensor I supplied. Result? No change, still hard starting, and no power/won't rev over 2200 RPM. The fuel...
