well i put my espar in yesterday and it was working ok , now it's flooding it's self with fuel and i am not sure why ? anyone had this problem before , i was talking to brett , and tryed a couple things he said but i didn't want to bug him for my answers lol .

 

Do you have the 7day timer? That should get you some codes to work with. Its pretty smart.. Most times it floods after it goes out on high flame F54 when I get a bubble in the system. The Glow plug seems to time out and then the fuel pump keeps going for a bit. Lots of smoke and fumes..

 

ya i have one but it's not working right i don't think and i have no owner manal for it so i am not sure how to work it lol

 

is the diagnostic code wire hooked up. i'm pretty sure there is a single wire dedicated to diagnostics . . .

when did you purchase it?

 

Just go to the Espar website - you can download the manual...Im sure Brett would be mor ethan happy to answer questions.

well igot the heater used and didn't pay anything for it , i know it worked when it was pulled about a year ago as i was the one that take it out of the truck , and yes i have the diagnostic wire hooked up , but no code is on the screen ,

 

ya i did that but the 7 day timer i have is a older one and doesn't look the same .

 

i'd try brett again. he has been great with the questions i've been having. plus he seems to spend more time on DTR at work than he does actual work!!!
(sorry brett if this causes you a headache !!! hahahaha)

either that or call espar and inquire about an archived manual . . .

 

i only talked to him for about 5 min on the phone about it , i will try him tomorrow sometime , and see , i may pull it apart as well and clean it maybe it's just dirt or sometime like that , like i said it worked good then this moring it would not fire up , and now it poors the fuel out of the exhaust pipe and won't say running , maybe i am getting air in the system or something ....

 

he's pretty easy to get a hold of via PM also . . .

 

maybe you have a D4 or older. possibly different wiring or somethng

 

I would suspect the wiring would be much the same. I have a D4 manual at home but I wont be home for probably 2 weeks.

 

Might be as simple as the glow plug Rob.. If its an older unit, probably time to replace it.

 

That gets me in trouble.... ...


Mamma doesnt know it yet but were staying at the Hooters Hotel...
