I'm a little new at this as you can tell. So here goes for a second attempt to explain whats happening. I followed the directions to retrieve the codes or code as my light is on. The truck started ruff lopeing and when we tried to drive it the truck had hardly any pick up in speed.B but nursing the peddle we got the truck up to 65 on the freeway it still ran ruff but after about 30 miles the code went out and the truck ran fine. I delivered the copy system to a customer and we left. It ran fine till we stoped for lunch it dies pulling into a burger place. We ate went back out it started ran ruff again but having no choice we drove it back half way back it cleared up, code we out and from a stop it had proper excelliration. Fighting a bad flu 2 days passed went to drive it again back to the same loping ruff idling hard to start etc... Now back to the attempt to retrive the code/codes from the truck. Hope the history helps didnt mean to ramble on.
I looked up this site on goggle nice hit, and a good site by the way. I,m a tech so i under stand the retriving instructions. I first attempted to hook my digital meter to look at the storbling seemed easy enough. I hooked the jumper from the small gray square connector to the top second over pin out. I also hooked the meter to the bottom row second over pin out on of the triangle/ looks like 1/2 of a hexagon/stop sign connector to me. That was the pos. lead then hooked the neg lead to the battery neg post. Had my son turn the key to the start position not strating the truck. I heard the clicking and so forth with the fuel pump whining. And thats it we waited and waited 3 min 5 min 10 min. then reset everything same thing . What are we doing wrong? My son took all the jumpers off tried a few more time and gave up. He then tried to start the truck till we thought the battery was dead. I chared it and same thing cleaned battery and connectors same thing clicking. Took the battery to a shop had battery tested and they said it tested good, but under a load it might not work they couldnt tell. Gona swap it out on my son's tarus and see if its really dead. $77.00 plus $9.00 disposal fee and tax its pretty high. Any help would but great. thaks in advanced.
