Re-read all my posts , then yours Yea , I think you out "brash" me .. If that's a bad thing?- Is that a word?

Alright , you probably know this already, just in case - the PCM shoots a low voltage signal to each coil in a COP system. Coils convert signal to pulse. Coils can pass Primary and Secondary testing and still be bad as you know. Coil pulse can be monitored via probe test light.

Wouldn't that be something if you could stretch all that out and monitor pulse under load conditions from inside the cab during the drive cycle. ?

You would have yourself a homemade stress test .... It would beat the hell out of looking for COP germs thru your Giro scope or whatever..

One step at a time -

The OP had Bosch plugs in the engine. There has been countless issues in the past with those plugs. The first thing suggested was to install OEM's and go from there . The OP bypassed an engine management component . The next suggestion was to make that right to eliminate it from being the problem.

More from your FIRST post -



All that was suggested at this point was to re-adjust the modifications made to the engine back to OEM condition. The plugs that the manufacturer specked for the motor and to reincorporate the engine vac reserve the OP bypassed. I would think a good technician would have suggested the same . Before that, he didn't replace anything out of the ordinary. You have NO basses for your comments . Your being a DCK at this point. No worries, stupidity catching up fast .. IMO the OP seen thru you, I think he bailed. Your Dumba$$ Dictating Disease should have stopped after his reply to your first comment. That must have been a weee bit over your head I figure - you didn't shut up.


Again, more of your babbling from your first post -



Not completely true and misleading - For one , the parameters on these vehicles are set and monitored by the PCM. When components weaken or fail bringing them outside of set parameters, a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)will illuminate in most cases. Granted , not in every instance , but if the O2's where actually bad enough to create a miss , there would have been a MIL set long before getting to that point. The O2' sensors in my experience have not failed to produce a fault light when outside of parameter margins.

This statement , from post #1 pi$$ed me off, yep , you got me mad here - be proud..



More of your useless dictation - Where theres a will theres a way. Every things covered that I think of . - From brakes to replacing the resister in the computer . Some may not be comfortable with everything , yes , they should farm it out if that's the case. You sure do like attempting to make yourself look superior.. So how did cutting these forums down feel? Did it feel good. Well, these forums here deserve more credit than that. Once you leave , the coolness level will be back @ 100%.. Common, this place has helped many folks figure things out. Saving people time and dealership costs. Way back when, not to long ago , you were pretty much at the mercy of who ever was working on your vehicle .
I doubt I'd have as MANY miles on the clock , if it wasn't for this forum in particular.. I've been coming around here since 02. I didn't join for a long time - a few years anyway, I didn't have to. I found the answers to questions , usually pretty fast once I got here. Searching the web back then troubleshooting truck problems landed me here most of the time..

I honestly have to say , I have never seen someone this inaccurate carry on as long as you have. You called me an idiot , no big deal- I don't really give a frogs fat a$$. You referred to quite few people as idiots . Not only the few here , but people you've had dealings with in the past..
Well whatever, first I thought you were just an a$$ who had a bad day or something. That's changed some , your just not right...In-fact , your way off, on just about everything man..


The P0401 comment above is just freakin awesome, thanks

I seen those MS pics of you and the little one finally -Dad ( : Good Job. You get the motor back yet ?

I felt as if you were just digging up technical questions to try and trip me up, then bring me in for the kill. I guess I might have been wrong about that and I apologize about the derogatory coments that I directed at you.:o I am not on the computer very much so I won't get in your way often, (maybee). I only remained on here so much these last two days to try and resolve this if the chance arose, then I started seeing posts refering to me as, well, I think you know what I mean. As far as leaving this site goes, well, I guess I would'nt wan't to upset anyone.
