mikestewart395 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks Slartibartfast. A few months back I took my Pathy swimming and after a 2 week dry out it was doing the 2800 rpm thing. Now it has gone to 2200. Something weird though, last night I electronic cleaner sprayed the maf connector, injector connections and cleaned one of the sensors that connects into the side of the tb. I don't have my book with me, I can't name the sensor ATM. When I turned the key it started fast, like I snapped my fingers and bam! No spinning mor a couple seconds then firing. Anyway, test drove it. It got to 65 mph, I was like hell yea ! Then it started loping again until I dropped it to 2200. It's was fun for about 10 seconds. Tomorrow is payday so I'll go to advanced and buy 2 new injectors. Only one is bad, but just like headlights, change one might as well change both, the other will fail too.

Slartibartfast Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm not sure what to make of those symptoms... hopefully the new injectors fix it, but it's starting to sound more like a wiring issue to me, especially with the fact that it started after getting wet.

mikestewart395 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yea, wiring is something I don't want to chase down, hopefully its just a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiMachine Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 By chance did the ECM or its connectors get wet? It is under the front passenger seat thus is vulnerable to being flooded out. Like dropping a cellphone in the water, it could work ok during/immediately after but then start failing a few weeks later as the corrosion (both connectors and PCB) sets in. Just a guess though.

Slartibartfast Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 ^^True that. IIRC My1Path had an M30 ECU that had been dunked once corrode to uselessness in dry storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the cab was flooded. I bought a ECM from Ebay . The last one was fried. Wouldn't start the engine.All connections since have been cleaned and Electric Greased.

mikestewart395 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I got it! After taking one injector out of the circuit at a time I found the bad injector. I clipped one wire and it wouldn't start. I soldered it back on and it started. I clipped wire from second injector and engine started and ran exactly the same. So finally the mystery is solved. Bad bad bad injector. I will get that replaced pronto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
