I know it’s not ideal, but I ordered a Chinese knockoff airflow meter on Amazon. It’s supposed to be a replacement for 22250-66010 for the 93-94. I usually don’t replace oem sensor and important parts like this with aftermarket crap, but it was $90 and will be delivered tomorrow (probably after...

Here’s a couple pictures. Has anyone else tried one of those replacement PCBs?

I got it started today, finally. It ran really rough though and had a check engine light. I didn’t check the code yet, but I had a feeling it was related to the airflow meter. I accidentally plugged oil the screws out and pulled out the plug when I was taking the intake off originally thinking...

That’s what plan to try. I’m only set up for stick welding currently though. But I’m still going to try

Yeah I plan to move my o2 sensors there as well when I replace them. I don’t want to take the manifolds off yet though because I’ll have to replace the studs in the head as well. They’re extremely rusty. And there’s other previous owner f u c k e r y going on with the exhaust, so I don’t want to...

One of the studs was already broken off flush from the previous owner. The other three the nuts were insanely rusted and just stripped as soon as I tried to remove them. I even soaked them in penetrating oil for a few days before trying, and used a torch. Ended up having to cut them off. Had a...

Dang what a bummer!! Hopefully the damage is t too bad and it’s an easy fix. I got everything buttoned back up today aside from getting all the bolts back in that clamp the upper and lower intake manifolds together. I need a helper for that because the only way it seems you can do it is from...

Yeah just about everywhere I look, something makes me go “wtf?!”. I sure hope it fires right up after all this. Hopefully I’ll know in a day or two. It’s parked outside and it’s raining so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to do today

Also, here is the location where the o2 wires all meet back up with the main harness, the oem pesky heater hose is at the top right for reference. I spliced in new wires, ran it all in split loom, and then tesa taped it. I rerouted them back up the firewall near the pesky heater hose, across the...

I made some good progress today. I realized that the probes on my multimeter weren’t sharp enough to reach inside the ecu connector and actually make contact with the pins. I sharpened them today and retested the wires from the o2 sensor connector back to the pins on the ecu connectors for...

Small update. Been waiting for the shielded wire I needed to fix the o2 sensor wires. It finally came, and I rewired it from the H7 o2 sensor connector back to where it meets back up with the main harness under the intake manifold. I wanted to be sure this fixed it, so I tried to use my...

I really hope that it fires up and runs after all this is over and there’s not more to chase down. That’s good to know though, I was super excited to get an 80 series but this whole experience has me considering letting it go after I get it running and waiting for a cleaner one. It’s also been...

Still waiting for my wires and gaskets to arrive so I can finish this all up. Did you happen to also remove all the vsvs on the bottom of the intake manifold on your truck too? I’m contemplating doing this while I’m in here just to simplify everything. I found a thread of people talking about it...

Yeah it’s definitely not easily serviceable lol. I think I can get rid of a couple of the VSVs now that the egr is gone, and the pair valve soon to follow. I haven’t checked to see which yet though

Thanks for that! I’d read that a paper clip as a jumper between the pins on the 93/94 works, so I just cut off the sensor and crimped the two wires to each other and plugged it back in. Hope it works or I’ll just order this plug. But I also did make my own block of plates for the egr on the...
