Re: 2006 Dodge 2500 4X4 5.9L - Code P0243
I see no reason for the computer to be grounding the circuit with the key off. That would be an unnecessary parasitic draw. If you backprobe the wastegate solenoid connector (plugged in)with the key off, you should expect to read 12 volts to ground on both sides. If you do not read 12 volts at pin a...

I've seen a number of flat cams from that era. Stick a vacuum gage on the manifold. Telltale sign is fluctuating vacuum. From there pop the valve covers off and check the rockers for proper movement.

There is a TSB for a ground issue that can cause that code. Go to TSB's and search for p0430.

You are right, Tim. With a massive vaccum leak, IAC will drop all the way to zero. 30-35 is optimal for steady idle.
I would suspect the IAC itself until I proved to myself otherwise.

Optimum would be 30%.After a KAM reset the PCM should learn an idle strategy that gives the desired rpm when the compressor cycles on. The other thing is that the compressor normally doesn't tend to cycle off and on,...

Re: 1985 Chrysler LeBaron - 2.2L Turbo Smoking Exhaust
This is a bad seal in the Turbo. I have changed hundereds of these things back in the day. If you do the job be careful of the brass water cooler line adapters that screw into the turbo. If you break them while taking the line off these fittings are no longer available. In the old days I would be a...
