Ok Ok I am a computer dumba** Called Tina "Did you try to reboot?" she says. DUH no, reboot all seems ok. Thanks Folks

I click the red x. This time when I hit the reply button to make this reply it logged me off. Logged back in and it went straight to the reply box. where I am now typing this. No one else has logged in and I haven't run any updates other than the auto stuff the antivirus runs. I will give Tina a cal...

Just started this morning. I usually click "Board Index" at the top of the page. Seems to be happening more if I am not active on the computer for more than a few minutes.

Ok heres the problem. Everytime I refresh the Forum I get logged off. I have checked the remember me box and have not changed any settings in my computer. Any Ideas?

I'm with Steve on this. Crank sensors are notorious for failing and not throwing codes on these. As far as blank dash and no crank, not a problem generally caused by the crank sensor.

Next step for me would be a cylinder pressure test. I have had cars that had even compression and running compression that had a valve that did not seal good. Also would physically inspect cams for proper lift and worn lobes. Just a thought, I left Nissan about the time these engines were being intr...

The recent Rodeo fiasco here at the shop leads me to agree! Ignition module no longer available, wiring shorted everwhere! Paid well but man what a pain in the a*#!

That system is very difficult to bleed also. Be sure there is absolutely no air bubbles!

Come on folks. Ya'all know how much ya love it! The more the merrier

Check power on red and pink/black wires at ignition switch. If ya got power there and nothing coming thru on the yellow when key is turned to start ya got a bad switch. If not then ya might have a bad PDC (I have repalced a few) or a failure at the bulkhead connector. We did have some problems with ...

The E-350 had a brake pressure switch on the master cylinder that created the problem. I would look to see if the Crown Vic has a switch on the master. Was told by the guys at Ford that all the techs keep one for the Trucks to install for a quik test. Not sure if this applies to the Vic but would be...

Is that the "sensitive" side Steve

Thanks Ric, the Car-Parts.com worked. Found the module in Mo. Fella even pulled it off the shelf and called me back to confirm the connectors and pin counts. Is overnighting it UPS. I now hope it didnt backfeed all the way to the ecm. The Forums bailed me out again

Thanks folks! The owners are good floks. They asked me to look over a few used cars for them before purchase. This Rodeo was the cleanest one they brought in that was in their price range, paying cash. 180k on the clock but really clean, apperared to be well kept. I recommended a timing belt as insu...

Thanks for the post Mark. And welcome to the Forums.

Ok folks I am up the creek and need help. 1996 Rodeo 3.2 v-6. Need the ignition module. Isuzu calls it ignition swith-coil (I think thats what they said). It is located on the top off the intake manifold to the rear. The activant cat has a great pic of it, I just dont know how to copy it over to her...

Just a heads up. I replaced a cruise control servo after all the tests lead to a failed servo. Roadtest cruise was still inop. Called Ford to inquire on the chances of the servo being bad outta the box. Parts guy recommended I replace the brake pressure switch on the master. Did so and roadtested OK...

May want to check the crank dampner for slip. That would cause the timing marks to be off. Wouldnt be the first one. Have a good weekend all

I would bring #1 up to TDC and do a cylinder leak test. Could pull a valve cover and check valves against piston TDC. Eithe should give ya some indication of a "skipped" chain.

I prefer books. It gives me time to study WITH-OUT being in front of a computer. I personally find it easier to learn from a book.
