mikestewart395 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Over the past few days my Pathy is taking a while to start, as in the engine turns but it won't fire up until 5 sec. or more has passed. And when it does it doesn't fire right up, it struggles. I haven't had time to look at the ECM yet, maybe wed morning I will have a chance. The engine started going south when I put it in the drink and drowned my ECM. I replaced it, the truck fired right up a couple weeks later, but at first the only issue I had was it won't go over 3k rpm when driving it. Now a few days ago the starting issue came up. Any clue to what's going on? I don't want to go crazy with this thing because it is going to be full on Lawn truck in 2 weeks. I'm not wheeling it any more, I basically just need it to start when I turn the key lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'd guess timing or fuel. Start by checking the timing 15* BTC @ 800rpm IIRC, and checking the ECU for codes. B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj503 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I second those checks, especially checking codes, sounds like limp mode+ something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestewart395 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I reset the timing, the stuttering at 3k was worse before I reset the timing, still does it though, not in neutral but when I am driving. I will check codes Wed. when I have a free morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Get us those codes and we can start from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
