Just aboard
I've used this site so much already and have gleaned much useful, entertaining information that, at long last, I'm subscribing. It's been worth the money already.
I'm a one-time aircraft mechanic and am a practical van user with a large family. We live at the end of the Haines highway in a very snowy area, so I really depend on this vehicle for the worst conditions. It's within my budget so far and has taken us many miles, most recently a trip down the Al-Can last summer with a long trailer and vanful of us. Lots of adventure - and an unimaginable number of potty stops. I can't think of a better vehicle for what we were doing, though.
So - now I'm working on a runnability issue - IPR circuit failure. It showed up in the codes after a fuel pump replacement (almost got it back to normal). Once I found where the IPR is and took enough components off to see it I found that I'd inadvertently yanked out the wires from the connector end (see the picture). Based on the difficulty getting back there under the firewall I'd really not try a field repair, though we have to do things like that around here from time to time. Dealerships I call can't even find a new harness to get me a price.
I know it's a long shot, but can anyone recommend how to get a used electrical IPR connector for my 97 7.3DI with a 6" pigtail? Or do you have one?
I know I came loaded for bear because I have a couple more issues waiting in the wings, but I'm interested in picking your well-seasoned brains first with this one. Any takers?
