Stuff found digging through "The Sticky" . . . .

What year is the truck?


The following applies to the '92 ~ '93 trucks . . .

The most common suspect is the crank sensor, without a signal from it the PCM does not know the engine is running. The crank sensor is mounted just above the crank damper on the front of the engine just to the passenger side of center. Check the wiring going to the sensor, especially where it passes the belt and where it comes over the front of the head. Also check the connector in the harness for corrosion. Make sure the sensor is mounted securely and that the gap between the sensor and damper is correct. The gap should be 0.050" and should be checked with a non-ferrous feeler gauge. A matchbook cover folded once works OK. If your A/C is still blowing cold and your trans still shifts into overdrive this is not your problem.

The other common problem is a bad ASD relay. An easy way to check that is to swap it for the A/C relay. Of the three relays on the driver's fender, ASD is front and A/C is rear. If you don't find the trouble in the crank sensor wiring or gap checks, swap those relays and see what happens.
