You need to check power when it is dead cold, first check at the solenoid on the IP, There is a green wire, which daisy chains to two connectors. The first is the cold advance and the second is the fast idle solenoid. You can look for power at either of these places. If there is non Check at...

It depends on how old your fuel lines are. If there is real rubber involved, biodiesel will degrade, and eventually destroy them. Mercedessource.com has a fuel line that is biodiesel rated, but it's $18/8ft, so I didn't want to order more than I need, or the wrong sizes. I think some of it is...

Has anyone replaced their fuel lines for biodiesel use? It looks like there are at least two different sizes. Anyway I was wondering if any one knows what size viton lines I'll need and how much, that stuff is expensive! I don't want to buy to much, but I definately don't want to buy to...

doghead I think what he meant is that since there are two alternators you'll be rebuilding one twice as often as in the same vehicle with only one alternanator, at least that's what I got out of it. by the way 2 deuce, if your armature was rubbing, you might want to test it for a short before...

I haven't ordered it yet, payday is friday, but I'm going to order it through amazon, why pay more. I did test for power at the switch, but it wasn't coming through, I thought the switch was a sealed unit, How can I lube it?, or do you mean the fast idle solenoid at the IP? I know the solenoid...

Thanks I'm planning on swapping out the fuel filter housing for a spin on type so I'll probably do this at the same time as it's directly below the filter. In the mean time it's a lot more difficult to start, it tends to want to stall immediately, and at stoplights (which I don't quite...

I called a chevy dealer. They want $40 some odd dollars. The old p/n 14071047 crosses to a new p/n 10154649. So I googled ACDelco 10154649 which is available from Amazon for $18.49 plus shipping. I'm surprised the local part stores don't have them. so the next question is do I need to drain...

Hi all , it looks like my fast idle temp switch went out, does anyone know where I can obtain one? I only found one temp switch at Advance that had two terminals, but it says it's a glow plug switch and it doesn't indicate the activate temperature. Glow Plug Sensor by BWD - Part WT679 -...

nopics We really have to have a picture of this. :P

Has anyone figured out the best back seat donor?

I figured it out. :jumpin:I asked a friend of mine about a divide by 10 circuit, and he suggested that a gas tach already has the circuitry, all I need to do is either adjust it or modify it for my needs. So I opened up the tach and sure enough there are three pots (aka potentiometers...

man as old as this thread is I figured I'd get to read through the whole build. I'm really curious how it ended up. I'd love to know what donor vehicle the seats came from.

You know it could be the controller card, or the relay sticking. If you think they are staying on an easy way to check is to hook a light up to GP side of the relay. The Light will be on when there is power to the gp's. I did that and what I see is that the wait light goes out, but the GPs stay...

I'm certainly not an expert, but if it ran great before and now it doesn't I'd have to believe that it is something to do with your swap. I know it sucks, but I think the thing to do is to separate the tranny and engine enough to see if it will turn over by hand ( you might have to pull the glow...

Well I hooked up my 8k tach, and it pegged out at 8k imediately with the engine idling. so I switched it to 6 cyl, that brought it down to 7500, and then to 8 cyl which brought it down to 4500. Which seemed promising. so then I reved the engine. I'm guessing I was reving between idle 600 ish to...

Ok I think I found the solution, or at least an easier solution. I have been modifying my extra alternator to use as a welder since the PO converted my M1009 to 12, so I've been reading alot about the delco alternators. It turns out some of them have an extra pin that is used for a...

theoretical top speed at redline of 3600 rpm is around 105 according to one of those drive line calculators. I've driven mine at 70 all day long, I suppose you could push it to 75, but it seems a little uncomfortable for me at those speeds. Just a note every m1009 I've been in indicates...

Ok I hooked up an oscilloscope, see picture, to pin D, I also tried F and it looked essentially the same. The picture was taken at, my guess, 1500 rpms. It is putting out a very dirty and spikey sawtooth wave. the period was approx 300 microseconds which works out to 3.33 khz frequency, It...

Has anyone ever figured this out? The diagram for this circuit refers to the california ESS signal for the sawtooth waveform. Does the J code 6.2 have a similar device? Has any one ever looked at pin E (the tach pin) on the ste/ice diag plug to see what is actually there? I would really like...

that's really interesting, I wonder if they had a low grade infection to begin with? I've stored biodiesel for more than a year in a plastic drum with no problems at all, of course I stated with a clean drum. How do you like the wmo/diesel blend? What percentages do you use? I've been...
