Crank signal is starter running signal, I guess, not distributor originated, for fuel pump run in start even if no spark signal.

I looked up the o2 sensor voltage directions, and more voltage is richer, and less is leaner. Voltage going higher is correct for accel enrichment when you crack the throttle to speed up the engine, and tps voltage going higher is a sign that something is happening there, and probably in the right direction.

I would now manually set the dizzy timing to the factory spec (I think you said 5+/-2*) with the timing light, because that spec from the MUT is very high for idle advance, even at the somewhat elevated idle rpms. Isn't there an adjustable bypass for manual setting of base idle speed? I'd get the idle rpm's right, then set the timing. With that much advance, you could get peak (or high at least) cylinder pressures BEFORE tdc, so the piston is fighting combustion pressure before it gets to the top of the stroke and starts to make power, so the engine is fighting itself, especially if the ecu adds accel advance in response to falling MAP pressure readings and opening throttle via the tps, and increasing air flow from the afm.

I'm not looking at the diagnostic readings from the manual, but the rest at least looks ok to me, the only problems I see right off the bat are idle speed and timing connector grounded advance on the spark.

we have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Injection Ms seems slightly high for idle.........BUT idle is slightly high also (normal Ms should be ~2.3Ms)

LOOK AT THE O2 SENSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It should be fluctating between .2V (200mv) and .8V (800mv)
ANd when accelerating it should go to .8V (800mv) and stay there. When NOT operating it should have an output of .48v (480mv)

Why is this puppy so darn lean???????????????
Disconnect the o2 sensor and it should go to .48v
Now the question?.... why is the injection Ms high, but the o2 so low??? Is the o2 driving the ecu to richen up the mix, or is there something else (Vacuum leak) ???????

Also Idle switch....I would think that the idle switch should be closed at idle.. but easy to check on one of your other rigs.
I love this stuff .......Customers lie like rugs..........The motor can't lie to you.

See, all it takes is an encyclopedic knowledge of what the readings ought to be, and to sherlock the right actual malfunction from the data available, and the data available is SO much better than it used to be, even if it's just error codes and you have to pull your own millivolt/amp/ohm reading. The MUT is nice! See why I want programmable efi? It gives you the data on all these sensors, and you can diagnose with ease (and a wad of logic).

Kary, what about the highly advanced base timing, and is the efi sequential?

Discount the advanced timing.
1. Powell's truck read close to the same.
2. This could be taken using a magnetic reading at the factory, so it my not be the actual reading but a product of base and actual and offset.

This appears to be bank to bank or batch injection as there is only 1 injection reading but I'm not sure of the software used with this unit.

Thanks Kary,

Here is some more information from me and the customer that might help. When I first started working on the truck, the owner had tried to remove the O2 sensor to replace it and stripped it out of the hole in the exhaust pipe. I ran the correct metric tap in the hole to clear out the stripped sensor threads and installed a brand new Bosch OE O2 sensor that came with the correct plug so it just snapped to the connector on the Mitsu wiring harness. Also, the truck was having the acceleration problem before we did the heads and the O2 sensor.

I'm not discounting any analysis here. Just sharing more of the story. It could still be the O2 sensor but I'm leaning toward Kary's vacuum comments.

I need Vacuum 101 please. I checked the brake booster vaccuum hose and it appears ok. I checked the vacuum line that runs from the TB to the fuel pressure regulator and it's ok. I checked the vacuum line that runs from the top of the plenum to the charcoal canister and it appears to be ok. Could someone run down a list of all the vacuum related connections I should check? I have a MityVac with gauge so I can check all the connections. I just need a complete list.

Thanks for the help,

Powell

Powell,

Where does the distributor rotor point with the engine at TDC on the compression stroke?

Frank,

I got so excited about the "Crank Signal OFF" code that I didn't pull the dizzy cap off to check. I'll do this next time and report back.

Thanks and sorry for the slow response,

Powell

OK, Powell - don't forget to check the timing connector shunt to make sure it's actually grounded.
