Hi guys,
Was trying to give back to FTE, all have been helpful. So I figure I would post a problem solver. Had a nice oil leak traced to cam sensor o ring. All back together now crank no start.

Truck is half in and out of garage, torque pro isn't pulling any codes. I did accidentally pull my alternator cable out of the connector, luckily had one to replace.

Ideas would be great, did I wreck the sensor taking it out?

Will have to try and pull the beast out tonight.



Thanks in advance
Luke

 

Sorry for your pain -- do you have the Sync(s) in your Torque? I've been very curious as to if the two are actually different (where you get a sync for FICM but not for Cam). I can grab my phone and give you the one I have...

 

Funny you ask, I have not been able to get the cam/crank sync to work, always has read 0. Do you have the pid? I can try it, I will see what I have worded in the pid

Obd2 mode 2209cd
Min value 0
Max value 1
Scale factor x1
Unit type sync
Equation {a:0}. Might of just figured it out had a space on equa
OBD header 7e0

 

Here is what I have for Cam vs Crank Sync (you have to manually enter this one).

PID: 2209cd
Long Name: Cam vs Crank Sync
Short Name: Sync
Minimum Value: 0.0
Maximum Value: 1.0
Scale Factor: x1
Unit Type: Sync
Equation: {A:1}
OBD Header: 7E0


The only difference I have seen in the folks that claim to have an FICM Sync gauge is the Equation is {A:0} (and of course they name it different. Maybe that is all it takes.

See if this helps you though...

 

Yes mine works: KOEO I get Zero engine running I get One... or No/Yes depending on gauge you choose...

 

Diesel dan, thanks for the help, I had an extra space in the equation for the pid, I get zeros KOEO, as well as cranking. Must of killed the sensor taking it out, and also date night with the wife

Guess I will try and pull the truck out with the escape( doubt it). Don't tell anyone my door will be open all night:-hu. I will finish my pics, and see if advance has the sensor tomorrow, the dealership doesn't.

 

The good news is? You can go "old school" and have Date Night in the Truck!

The other good news is the sensors are way cheaper these days...

 

Hard to see, missing part of oring.



New orings and part number. $6.50 w/tax. Miller Ford

Note. New larger oring is purple, original is black, must be an upgrade.
Black is nitrile rubber
Purple is perfluorelastomer or ethylene propylene.(guessing in the industry)

I also left the red oring on to get the new purple one past


Then changed red one.


Tools
8mm deep socket, 1/4 inch and ratchet.
Pulled air cleaner.
Set socket on nut from top, but couldn't get the torque.
So I left it on, and wrenched from below.
Tightened from the top.

Back together but no start lol. I will post when I get it running.
Movie time with my wife now.

 

Changeing o-rings will not fix anything for the electrical function. You could try checking for continuity other than that it will take a labscope or occiloscope and check the signal and wave form pattern. It is basicaly a electro magnet.

 

I didn't change the orings for that, I had an oil leak I was repairing, this is aftermath. Now I think about it, I might have pulled the sensor out crooked. One repair leads to another.

 

Well guys, back in business, was the pigtail.

Dan, cam/crack sync works now.
Thanks for the help.

So far no leaks.

 

Nice, were you able to clean it or did you replace it?

 

Cleaned, new orings, and repaired pigtail, was getting high short. Be careful unplugging pigtail, it's brittle

 

YEA!!! And even better, it wasn't the sensor!

I love being able to give back to the FTE community (rare that I know enough to do so), so I'm glad I could help...

Now if you or someone could figure out if there IS a FICM Sync we can program in Torque (and it's proven). That would be a gift for sure

 

OP I simply meant you needed to look further for your electrical problem than your oil leak problem how ever you found that the oil leak itself [oil soaked connector] was the cause of your electrical problem.
Since I use an actual scanner I can not help with the torque pro problem. It would be a good thing to know as torque is widely used by many.
