P401 CEL Party 05/22/10

Just checked and I have all my wrenches, I am missing a 14mm socket though. How is that possible!? How hard is it to check if all the sockets are in the holder? We didn't even drink any beer. Now I'm going to have to look for a single that matches my set.

As you know, my CEL went off on the way there. What you may not know is it came back on after helping our brother out on the side of the road. That was a good test of how my brakes are working though, the crusher requires some distance to come to a stop from 70mph.

2nd the food comment. I asked my wife why she's never made any of those empanadas and she just gave me a dirty look.

I would like to solve the air intake riddle. Was anyone able to find if we were hooking up the vacuum to the right place? High pressure reading test @2500rpm was something that none of us confirmed.

Ah yeah, it's on the PDF EG-121 that I couldn't get uploaded to my site. So it wanted us to connect an extra hose to Port 'R' of the EGR Vacuum Modulator, directly to the Air Intake Chamber. We could not find the Air Intake Chamber. The photo just shows the hose go out of the photo with words To Air Intake Chamber. We looked through all of the engine blow-ups and diagrams and we could not find it. We were supposed to verify that it had high vacuum at 2,500 RPM's where as when it's hooked up correctly you would have low vacuum at 2500 RMP.

So if anyone knows of this elusive AIC please do tell.

So after they guys left I decided to put in a new air filter that I picked up before they came over and install my second battery tray since I picked up the needed bolts when I got the filter. But after working with all of you guys trying to fix your engine lights I ended up setting mine off.
I had unplugged the sensor wire on the intake tube, un-bolted and un-clamped the filter housing. But then went into the house and when I came back out I tried to start my truck to move it and it just died, so I tried it again until I remembered I had unplugged and un-latched the air filter stuff. So now my engine light is on and we will see how long before it goes off. OH well!

So, after about 6 starts and 40 - 50 miles the engine light turned off on my way to softball last night. It's nice to know the system is working all good at this time. Knock on wood.
