Checking the Van
After lunch Bill and I went out to the van so I could try some things. Of course I didn’t learn anything specific but I did find out that the power connection was apparently ok. If it wasn’t the engine will not start.
Looking for Some Parts.
Bob suggested that I get some twist lock wire nut’s in case we have to fix a bad connection.
Bill and I went driving around and went to two towns. One had a Napa store but they didn’t have any wire nut’s. I asked if there was a hardware store around and the guy in the store told us that in the next town was a hardware store.
Okay off we go then.
We drove to the next town which was only about 5 miles away. We drove through town a couple of times and saw no hardware store.
Eventually I told bill to pull in at a small grocery store where I went in to ask where the hardware store was.
“Hardware store”? The man said. “Why, we haven’t had a hardware store here for several years.”
I thanked the guy and got back in Bills car.
“Lets go home, we are getting nowhere here.” I said.
We went back to the Casino.
Troubleshooting the Van
I went back to the room and hung out for a while.
I spent my time reading the manual.
After a while I figured that I kind of knew what to do to trouble shoot the problem.
I went to the van and started working my way through the procedure. After some initial steps the manual says to jumper pin B&C on the cable to the MAP sensor. The only problem it that there are no markings on the plug to tell which one is A, B, or C.
I ran the test twice. I figured that the center connector was “B”. I jumped from the center to one side and got an error code that said that the MAP sensor was bad.
From the center to the other side gave me a error code that said that the computer was bad. There were other tests but not knowing which connectors are which I don’t know what to do.
So of course I still have no idea what is really wrong.
Bob Called.
Around 7:30 pm Bob called. He was in La Grand, Oregon and said that he would probably get here late tonight 7/19 or some time tomorrow 7/20.
Probably tomorrow.
Okay that is the update for today.
