Oh , like - rack-em up, I'll break , while you get the brewha's.

Gotcha


Retest - Reset ,trans tables , fuel trims, mixtures = If you want to off that code , it's gotta be set right . Do you know the FORD OBD procedure for a quick reset .??

 

Lil slow........... But you always come through in the end... LOL

I dont need pics. I know enought to get that figured out. Could you maybe explain how that helps though???

 

Just disconnect the battery - does the same thing , but you have to wait awhile.

 

Maybe im a bit stubborn but doesn't that reset the computer and you have to go throught the whole "learning" process again? Im not understanding this but if it works then who cares... LOL

 

Yup , just reboot.

 

Ill give it a try in the morning. I will fill everyone in in the afternoon.

 

It took my truck nearly 800 miles to extinguish the P1000.

 

Did it come back after a reboot every time?

 

LOL , okay, I'll give it a shot

If it comes back and you need to get rid of it, there's a "Scorpio" procedure which is similar to FORD OBD2 procedure. In these procedures there's a few tests that can't be accomplished unless your commute allows it to be, sort of , you'll see.. Sometimes when performed yourself, it can fail to follow thru the program - Don't let this deter you .

How long have you had the code? Sometimes it's simple , other times it's not .

If you want to rid yourself of that code and the reboot doesn't work - I have the paper work in the shop for the 98 -

Wait a minute , I think I have something - let load up another other hardrive , I might have a link. Hang-on..


ADD this to your favorites or folder - it's the best one out IMO.

Alright , I have to find it. One MINUTE..

It's a good idea to learn how the Executive functions and how it comes up with the monitor status of "incomplete" -

Here's one set of tests , there's more - the EVAP is a P1000 culprit. See if your EVAP even runs , certain conditions must be met.

Basically your forcing it to complete.

 

Awsome deal. I will read those on my lunch today and give it a try also. Thanks bunch Jbrew

 

Another link - one that's actually specific to your truck:: http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...f/obdsm985.pdf

Reboot won't work - you'll get P1000.

Like I said - drive cycles

 

As I posted earlier. Reflashing only resets, and delays the inevitable wait through the drive cycles.

 

Keep in mind , if you run your truck under a 1/2 tank of fuel it won't test everything. I'm not sure where that info is , but you should come across that somewhere while reading.

Keep it at 3/4 ..

 

MGDfan...

Sure, buddy.
