Help!!!CPS like problem-SOLVED
Hey everyone...I was heading out for a dr's appt this am-just about to pull into traffic- when the engine died. Symptoms are as follows:
1. no tach movement when cranking
2. no WTS light
3. no fuel pressure-I have a gauge
4. DP chip display dead
In a feeble attempt to fix I tried a new cps but it didn't work.
OK....This is what I was in the process of typing(I type slow) when I tried to call Jody. I got no answer, and I didn't leave a message thinking it was more a problem with the PCM than the chip. Anyhow, the phone rings and its Jody from DP Tuner. I described to him my problem and he points me in the right direction. Sure enough, like he said, my #30 fuse is blown probably from the fuel bowl heater.
In my humble opinion, thats customer service second to none. Thank you sir for taking the time to help me out.
All the best,
Duncan

More than likely the fuel heater element in the filter bowl shorted out I hope that Jetdoc disconnected it or may happen again.

Jetdoc,
Thank you for your kind words and post.
Take a look at the fuel bowl heater when you get a chance and see what could cause the fuse to blow.
