Here
are the latest ATS customers (and
some mechanics) comments in 2011:
Problem:
Hello
Rich, Ill like to get some
help on my 1996 Chevy Tahoe 5.7L.
I had to get it towed last night
because it went dead on me. I
check the fuel and fuel pressure
and its good. I then check the
coil and spark plug and I get
no spark at coil or plug so I
change the coil and still no spark,
what else can I check, all fuses
are good and voltage is going
to coil. ( He also changed the
ecm or engine computer but still
no start)
Fix:
Hi
Rich, I got the truck started
it was the IC DRIVER all that
time, what threw me off is that
I change the crank sensor before
I change the IC DRIVER and the
new crank sensor was bad. so I
tested and put back the old sensor
with the new IC DRIVER and it
started.
Thanks for your help! I learned
a lot from all that testing the
ecm (computer) and wiring diagrams...

Hi
Rich,
Problem:
I got this Jeep Cherokee 4.0L
4WD that will not start.
Fuel
pump will not prime when ignition
switch is turned to on position.
Fuel pump relay is good. The relay
is getting +12V to its coil, but
it will not close.
Fix:
No cranking was solved by replacing
the crank sensor like you said.
Thank
You,

Hello
Rich,
Here's
what I found in red below.
Problem:
notorious bad injectors. when
hot, will short and open the ecm
(engine computer) driver.
FIX:
I ohmed the front and rear injector
banks like you suggested they
were 3.5 and 2.8 ohms. I proceeded
to run the engine until the engine
got hot and stalled. I then removed
the plenum while the engine was
still hot and ohmed out the injectors
individually. #1 - 12.7 ohms #3
- 6.4 ohms #5 - 10.9 ohms #2 -
6.2 ohms #4 - 1.4 ohms #6 - 13
ohms I replaced #2, #3, #4 injectors.
All seems to be working fine now.
Thanks,

Hi
Rich,
Problem:
2002 Ford F-250 with 7.3 diesel
engine. No start but cranks. Injector
driver Module relay constantly
clicks when key is on. No communication
with pcm or engine computer.
Fix:
Fuse 22 was partially blew/cracked,
never seen that before. It checked
good with a test light to keep
the relay energized. Strange problem
had me scratching my head.
Your
info has been helpful.

Hi
my name is Brian and my question
is this...
I
have a 91 Ford Escort auto 1.9L
and Tranny was bad. I Went to
a junk yard and got a tranny out
a 99 Ford Escort and slapped it
in. Now I noticed an electrical
plug was in fact different.....
It also has 7 wires going to it.
The old tranny has only 6 wire
plug and the 99 tranny doesn't
have a kick down cable. Now the
color of the wires are completely
different.
The
car drives smooth only I have
to shift it manually (its an automatic)
because it feels like it is in
4th gear always until manually
putting it into 1st. So if there
is a diagram out there that can
tell me and what wire colors go
from a 91 Escort body to a 99
Escort tranny can you please let
me know??????? Thank you Brian

Brian fixed it using ATS advice,

Hello
Rich:
I
LOVE YOU and it's true!!! My oh
my but I thought for sure I would
have had to pull the tranny back
out and search for a correct trany.
Nope!!! The emails diagrams and
info you sent me on my 91 Escort
tranny swap with a 99 Escort trany
explained everything down to the
LAST detail... THANK YOU so much
the car up shifts and down shifts
on its own perfectly!!!
When
I really get on it from a complete
stop, 1st to 2nd is a sharp shift
but if I casually start it feels
great shifts...and smooth!!! Thru
all gears lockup works!!! I am
very satisfied now that I have
got a few other problems with
different cars how long do I get
to use you? how many cars can
I use you on and if theres any
thing else I missed that I can
use from you? Thank-you so much
again...you are a genius!

Fixed!!!
Hello
Rich,
I
took a second look at it today
and there was one ground that
was loose. It was one of the grounds
for the ecm. It had nothing to
do with the o2 sensors.
Thanks
you for all your help.
Hope
to work with you again!
