I just fixed a no/low vacuum at the the waste gate problem. Those hard plastic lines to the waste gate had collapsed or was crushed at some time in the past. I did the usual checks at the pump at idle, then teed into the line at the waste gate and ran the hose inside the cab to the test gauge. A...

Sheesh... I think I would have shot myself by now.

OpenOffice can export directly to PDF any document it can open, which is most of them. And its free. :)

That looks like a force motor not a stepper. The ECU would PWM drive the current in a winding and create a magnetic field that was variable. This is opposed by another magnet either permanent or another coil. The opposing force positions the shaft. Seems they would be rather robust. In what...

Come to think of it the procedure to make it forget a lost fob would be just as useful. Maybe they only remember the last two?

There is a procedure to make the vehicle recognize a new fob. Escapes me at the moment what it is though. Google?

Is that a hit and miss engine I spy in the foreground? :eek:

If I go to the trouble to replace mine I will put polyurethane in. Assuming of course they make Poly bushes for GMT400's. :skep:
