    I will try and hook it up to my air compressor see what i get assuming the gauge is correct on compressor

    Definitely the map which explains the resistors i found weeks back

    It is technically 4 wire harness but has a 5th wire grounding the body of the 02. Some new things have been discovered if i unplug the map trucks runs damn near perfect obviously its staying closed loop but even before it missed then. It will never misfire with the map unplugged. The map...

    Quick question ive just realized my pre 02 sensors bank 1 is a 5 wire bank 2 is 4. Which is correct it is a 97

    I could not find any extensive wear too the guides. Seats and valves looked ok for a 240k mile motor nothing stood out there was some light carbon pitting i guess you could call it on all the exhaust valves. Also super careful cleaning up the heads and block for what it was worth.

    Sorry for the delay ive been busy and ultimately dove into the heads over the last few weeks. What i found was a worn exhaust manifold surface at cylinder 1 and replaced the manifold. I know some may disagree with my approach to clean the valves but i lapped the valves and installed new mls...

    Ive just performed testing again on 4 and 7 and was able too successfully do first try now that i fully understand the process. As far as your theory i dont believe that to be the case. *ive changed plug wires multiple times too factory firing order. *timing chain and sprockets were...

    I was using the starter by jumping the relay and ive had the fuel pump relay removed while doing this at this point i am rotating by hand with both valve covers off trying too do this as correctly as possible

    Dont be amazed lol i was holding the engine back with a crank shaft tool. And im also using a OTC leak tester

    Im using a leakdown down gauge im spinning over until i hear compression out of my hose inserted into the spark plug hole and then rotating by hand too tdc on the balancer which has been correct it appears for 6 of the cylinders if i go past the mark i wont build pressure. I am putting 100...

    Im watching the rocker arms and the tdc mark on the balancer. But does the timing mark actually matter on any cylinder other than number 1.

    Im back with an update have had the rona and plumbing issues so i am back on the truck. Ive logged all the data i can and ive noticed something weird with number 7 and 4 any time i try too bring the cylinder up tdc the exhaust valves open befor i get there. Ive repeated both of those cylinders...

    Im a little confused on what is acceptable for the leakdown. Any air coming from the intake and exhaust is bad? Or if your readings still fall within a 10% drop your good too go. Also the air observed from crankcase was at the oil fill tube.

    Thank you very much for this breakdown. I will be doing the test over again over the next few days and i will report the results back.

    Also i did briefly manage too get the truck too idle perfectly 10 seconds. While the truck was running i turned on injector balance test too cylinder 1. It was the smooth as glass. Im really starting too wonder if the driver for injector 1 is lagging. All the injector wiring ohms 0.2 ground...
