    Reduced Engine Power write-up

    Be sure to solder the 8 new wires from your new throttle body connector. Very sensitive. Also be sure you have the correct gap on the plugs. It wouldn't hurt to run some seafoam in your engine oil to see if you can clear up the rough running issue. You may have more than one problem. Kind...

    One last thing. This is actually quite scary. My long term fuel trim came back to normal. I kid you not.

    Alright here is what happened. If you look at the picture below. I had directional diodes connected to my high beams, low beams, and Fogs. What is missing in this picture is the 3 relays for all three of these lights. What you see is this. When I turn on my low beams, my fogs come on as...

    I completely hear you. I am OK with electric issues. I know what I know but it is a little over my head to try to figure out something like this. I think may have found the problem though. I thought to myself, what was the last thing I did with the truck. Give me a few days and I am going...

    Sorry I am losing it. TCM is on the way. My ECM looks super clean. But then again so does the TCM. Car has been garaged for about 100k and then under a carport for the last 130k miles. Owned it since new. So it is pretty clean. Do you think maybe something in the ignition switch? There...

    Yes it was very clean like new inside. And I just went back out and it is back. P1518 by itself. Don't have to start the motor to get the code. Just turn the key to the on position. Well fellas, if you can think of anything else, let me know. I have a new used PCM on the way. We will see...

    So I disconnected both harnesses from the ECU. I disconnected the battery first of course and touched both ends together fora few minutes with the key in the on position for good measure. I cleaned with electronic spray, dried them to evaporating with my new TEMU hand air blower :D and...

    If it is not the TAC, it likely this issue here below??? - DTC P1518 sets when there is a short to B+ on the TAC module ground circuit. Inspect the fuses for the circuits that are in the TAC module harness-i.e. cruise, brake. An inspection of the fuses may lead you to the circuit that is...

    SIGH!!!..... DIAGNOSTIC AIDS - DTC P1518 sets if the battery voltage is low. If the customer's concern is slow cranking or no crank because battery voltage is low, ignore DTC P1518. Clear any DTCs from memory that may have set from the low battery voltage condition. - DTC P1518...

    Thanks for the link. It may be a bad connection between the PCM and TAC. Maybe I will pull of the connector at the PCM and see if there is corrosion in there. We will figure this out.

    I swapped out the harness some 30 or 40k ago and all has been well since. I just cleaned all the grounds again and checked under the fuse box as well to see if there were mouses chewing up wiring. Took TAC off and sprayed the harness and TAC connection points with electronic cleaner. Put it...

    I actually took a solid ground from the fire wall and grounded it directly to the engine a few years back. I will give it a tug though and see if that is an issue. Also 30K miles ago, I change the 706 cylinder heads. One had cracked. When I did this, I made sure both grounds back there were...
