LEARN Temperature switch: once reaches a threshold in ohm value due to coolant temperature, switch opens and stops the 12v signal going to the advance timing solenoid AND the high idle solenoid which govern the characteristics of engine operation from cold to warmed up.

I listened to this about 15 times before i finally understood that the temp switch has a hot wire running to it, and when the engine is cold, the switch is on, sending voltage to the fast idle solenoid and timing advance. Then, when the temperature reaches 144 degrees, the switch opens and shuts off the fast idle solenoid and the timing advance solenoid.

Great info, only correction, high idle solenoid was never meant to push up on its own. it is like an old four barrel, push pedal down turn key, allow glow plug cycle and start. It will hold all day as long as key is on. That is why original start stickers always mention foot feed position on cold starts.Thanks for the video!

I did notice this, and thought about how that sticker is still in mint condition on the visor in my truck explaining to how to cold start the truck. Lol all that is out the window these days hahah it could be 100 degrees out and she aint starting without ether

I just want to give you a massive thumbs up. I was driving out of my house today and the truck instantly died... Like 100% ok to completely dead. I saw no visible reason for this to happen. Turns out the previous owner had a single wire lead (not the plug itself) wired to the fuel shut off solenoid terminal and it popped off. Saved me so much time. I was pretty certain it was fuel related as I run waste motor oil in my truck.

It would be really cool if you could do a video explaining the fuel water separator thats on the inner fender. Possibly how the fuel system works with the fuel transfer switch. Again great content!

@trainmasterup Жыл бұрын

Would love to see this as well as I know I need a new fuel tank as mine allows water in and has for at least the past two decades... so i know I may need a new ip and mechanical lift pump as well. Truck will randomly shut off on decel sometimes (manual trans, put the clutch in and boom shuts off at rpm drop from any rpm when pushed in), so not sure why it is losing fuel like that. But idk if mine was bypassed or not and i want to know how to reincorporate/upgrade to the 7.3 style separator so i dont mess anything up more

so my temp sensor when i put test light with key turned lights up but don’t send any power to the 2 tabs mine are the green wires…the pink wire gets power and activates the file shut off solinoid…i ran out of diesel and now i’m having problems starting back up it’s a 82 6.2…so i jumped them both out off the shut off (pink wire) and i seen duke start moving through the return…i’ve never had a problem starting up ever i’ve ran out of fuel before add some and started right up…but as i’m trying to bleed the system i’m noticing all these other things….another thing my glow plugs just stopped working …it’s not the solinoid i think it’s the control ..i can jump the glow plugs and get them to do their job …does the glow plug control …it’s the 6 pin behind the manifold have anythjj in bb to do with the temp sensor that the 2 green wire hook up to? …i’ve been doing everything to get the air out for the last 3 days….i’m lost now….as for the cold and the idle i could jump them with 12volts and use a toggle switch when i get to temp? and if i use a manual glow plug button and bypass the control would that mess with any temp sensors?

That was a good video.. and well done.. For me i just installed a new IP and injectors.. and No One in San Diego can Tune it.. did static timing.. any options for tuning by ear ect.. i may have a lead on a guy who works on Big Rigs.. lol

@ChaosExplained 2 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for your Feedback, these injection pumps come from wherever it is in the world they sat it at very specific settings. If you were concerned about timing I suggest making sure your timing is correct with the dot on the top gear under that small cover. Remember this injection pump depends on the gears in the front for the timing, it's literally the heartbeat and brain for this engine. If it was installed incorrectly and the timing is off this engine will never run. Hope this helped!

@@ChaosExplained thanx for reply.. yeah, didn't take off that top gear cover.. it does fjnally sound like a diesel with the new parts.. have some trips planned.. and it smokes a bit more than before.. but the new pump has better fuel supply now.. haha thinking a pyometer maybe handy.. just to be able to watch.. but after watchjng and listenjng to other 6.9's ect.. its prolly good to go.. no one here has the 30 year old timing gear needed.. haha thanks..

@joeleppien4765 2 жыл бұрын

@@ChaosExplained for what it's worth, it's always been my understanding that the high idle solenoid just isn't strong enough to push your throttle up. When you hit your throttle, the plunger on the solenoid extends until it hits the throttle lever and will stay locked until the engine tells it that it's reached 114 degrees. That would explain why, in this video, your plunger was able to extend out to the throttle when you tested it.

My 6.9 has been missing on one of the cylinders for a month or so and smoking alot. The other day I was driving and she stalled. I tried everything and couldn't get it to start. There seems to be pressure at the injectors but no fuel seems to be getting to the engine. Do you have any ideas?

@ChaosExplained 2 жыл бұрын

I will give you a couple tips for sure. Will be making a video on the science of atomization in fuel Vapors and the color specifically of "smoking" it is a misconception that black smoke is unburned fuel when this is actually incorrect... black smoke is an indication that the fuel is burning however it is burning way too rich for the air molecules to match. White smoke that does not smell sweet but it smells like vinegar is unburned fuel atomization coming from the exhaust. If the smoke is black and gray then this means the air is mixing through the exhaust and you have some cylinders that the mixture is too rich and some cylinders that are not firing under compression.. the clue that we need to know is what color is your vehicle puffing? That's the first clue

Hey thank you for commenting! As far as the drawing goes for the print fast forward this video toward the very end and it will give you definitions of the solenoid so you can look it up on Google if need be for the db2 wiring. Only 3 solenoids are directly affiliated with this, fuel shutoff, advance timing, and i forget the third. Just look at the end lol

So basically if the engine temperature switch goes bad it will not send power to the cold idle solenoid or the timing advance solenoid?

@ChaosExplained 2 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for your feedback, without looking at the print in front of me and it's been awhile since I made this video. I'm going to take a guess and say yes that is correct. The temperature switch is a on or off switch not variable. So yes id assume that the cold engine idle solenoid is tied in with this, guessing without looking.

@ChaosExplained 2 жыл бұрын

What you can do is you could always send a false signal to punk the circuit essentially. On the temperature switch just pull off the wire and ground it out since its a 1 wire to ground... if this is true what you are asking it should actuate the engine cold solenoid

@johnbrooks2122 Жыл бұрын

If the advance timing is not working will it smoke white when it's cold?

@ChaosExplained Жыл бұрын

White smoke= unburned fuel... Or if it's not smoke but white it's just water vapor atomizing since it's cold out. OR if it's white, excessive water vapor and smells sweet = coolant being burned
