Excellent.
Normal in cold weather. Exhaust gas is largely made up of water vapor, which condenses into liquid water when it cools off in the cold exhaust system.
Morons.
More-or-less, yes. My gauge only goes to 60. Faulty sending units can show falsely-high, falsely-low, or randomly high/low.
The other two "leads" don't go to the PCM. They go between an electrical power supply and the fuel pump.
My source says B2S1. But I'm not using the official service manual, which YOU SHOULD.
Download the service manual set for your vehicle from the links in the Sticky threads section of this forum.
Define "better". They couldn't meet emissions with a carb, they couldn't meet fuel economy targets with a carb, they had problems getting proper driveability with a carb. The TBI probably cost less than a carb system.
Ehhh. Like folks have never had problems with carburetors, choke pulloffs, corroded carb castings or plugged passages. No one ever sunk a float.
About the same with mechanical spark advance vs. electronic advance.
IF (big IF) you're used to working on the electronic stuff, it's not tough to deal with. But if you're used to carbs, EFI and computer-control of fuel and spark is an incomprehensible nightmare.
Thanks for the input.
I'll look for the manual download.
Right, my error, it's B2S1 O2 sensor, same bank that was running lean and getting fuel dumped into it.
Right, condensate dripping out of the tail pipe is what I want to see (it's Florida, so no cold weather).
Why in the world would the oil pressure sender 2 leads go to the FUEL PUMP?
All the parts I installed are Genuine OEM AC-Delco.
Never saw a bad OEM AC-Delco part in all my years.
You really think the oil sender is bad?
I've worked on both (digital vs. analogue machines) for years.
I'll take mechanical any day of the week over electronic.
I also fix appliances, same thing.
There are limits to all digital machines, and the industry refuses to find those limits.
I agree, electronic ignition is far better than points.
Same with accessible and repairable ABS.
SRS...pros and cons, esp. for the elderly and children.
BCM, no need, as relays always worked good enough for any solution and were very easy to fix.
About the only thing I can say for digital machines at this stage of development, is that they are used to control US, to create monopolies on labor and capital, and to definitely NOT to make our lives easier. We used to call it 'planned obsolescence'.
Incidentally, like I said above, the FISH carb has a nearly identical fuel use curve to fuel injection.
It's got 1 moving part, and is extremely simple.
Big oil put him out of business.
If you knew the politics, you'd know what I'm talking about.
If my C230 MB ever craps out on me, I'm switching it over to a FISH.
Presently I'm struggling with a fuel level sender and their STUPIDLY designed saddle bag gas tank.
Took me a whole day of snooping around on the internet to find enough information to figure out how that IDIOTIC system works.
It's actually brilliant, except for when it does NOT work.
And now that it's failed internally, with ZERO ACCESS to the inners, I have to cut it open and fabricate the fix it myself.
Then poly-weld it shut again (it's a plastic tank). But if I decided to say 'F-it!' and put on a carb right now, that would end all troubles in one single bang. Anyway...no point in going that route just yet, b/c it runs like a ***** ape WHEN it's running.
Let me find that FSM and do the electrical tests and see what shakes out.
Meanwhile I need to do something about he EGR and cats.
Also, his tranny is f'd up.
Someone changed it for him and they hammered the big plug into the socket so I can't remove it.
Looks like it may not even be conducting signals!
WTF?!?
