Any Mechanics want to lend a hand?
NTD:
Tim,
I got a pressure test gauge. It is reading 42 PSI at the Schrader valve. I also got a noid light test kit while at autozone and I checked that. All injectors are blinking when I turn over the engine. So I'm guessing it's not fuel delivery related. Any more ideas?
Oh and don't worry about the renting, it's actually a loaner program. I give them a deposit and they give me all of it back when I return the tools. Not a bad deal. Just a lot of money out of pocket up front, since I don't use plastic money.
NTD:
Started before that. The Harmonic Balancer was a repair in an attempt to fix the stalling. It was also rattling itself and needed to be replaced based on that but yes the problems started before the replacement. When I returned the test kits I picked up a crank sensor. I will be putting that in this afternoon. I'll let you all know how it goes
NTD:
Yeah that's what I thought too Scott. But sensor was cheap enough that I'm willing to throw a hail mary and toss a new one in and see what happens.
NTD:
So I was getting ready to reef on the harmonic balancer Bolt to remove it and I just about fell over. I was actually able to finger loosen the darn bolt. When I pulled it off this is what I found.
Now I'm not sure what would cause this to happen. Both Frank and I tightened the hell out of this thing so I don't suspect it being loose was our fault. So was it a harmonic balancer all along, and the one I replaced it with was bad???
sailordad:
well glad ya found it
i never seen that before,but last week i did have an explorer that snapped the front of the crank shaft off
the puley was laying on top of the steering linkages with the bolt in it ad it was still tight on the end of the crank shaft that was stil in the pulley
as far as torquing the next one,call ashop and find out on he spec,or maybe auto zon can tell ya.
ya might want to check and make sure all the other pullies are turning freely,even the ac compressor pulley and clutch.
and i wouldnt use any thread lock on the bolt for the pulley
also i would us a little silicone sealer on the key way of he pulley to prevent an oil leak
