whats outside temps?

 

If I read that right the EGT probe is in the downpipe after the turbo? If so then that would be normal temps IIRC.. I am not certain as all of mine have been pre-turbo.

 

i would move it to preturbo but ive heard horror stories of the probe breaking off after many years and destroying the turbo and motor :S

outside temp is around 80-110

 

for a daily driver probes should not have an issue. the ones who have issues are high EGT's trucks for long periods of time

 

FEAR MONGERING!!!!

I hate to see comments like that. I have been working with industrial engines for 18 years in the oil and gas industry. Each engine has 1 pyro probe per cylinder (that would be 6-16 probes per engine) and I have never heard of such an event happening. I have seen them bent over from debris from the head passing by and toasting the turbo but never a pyro itself.

If the pyro breaks off, it was installed incorrectly or its some cheapo probe. To me knowing what temperature the engine is actually burning at outweighs the cost of the "risk". Otherwise you need to have a chart beside your gauge to estimate the actual pre turbo temperature vs. boost pressure as this changes with the pressure across the turbo.



Now for some coffee...

 

a year later.......
today I went out and started the truck to receive the same p0206.
I cleared the code and restarted. then the truck gave me p0206 and p0207.

I guess I will replace these batteries that are a year old....

 

Well, replaced both batteries, drove it for almost a week now with no more issues.

I dont understand what could cause this problem but it does fix it.
I always thought that once the engine was running, everything was powered by the alternator.

 

The engine stumbled today for about 4 seconds, then the P0206 showed up again.

Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?
