I couldn't find one greasy, your eye sight must be good,LOL Keep the picks coming. Can't remember what causes this but I was at a buddy's shop helping him with a 94 olds cutlass that they installed a yard eng. Had a high idle. iac staying at 48, All other pids looked good except tps .65 and throtle angle said 4. Played around about 15 min checking this and that when I remembered to disconect the batt. for a bit. reconnect, Idle went to 750, iac 13, throtle angle went to 0. tps still read .65 Can't remember why it worked but it did .
I've tried and tried, but can't seem to fix stupid!Comment

Nice catch Geasy. that was just a mock up engine. Bare block, oil pan, set of aluminum heads I had laying around. By the way, 4 bolts per head. lol.
What I am installing is basically an '89 C2500 T.B.I. 350 with THM 400. Got the whole mess from a wrecking yard. Engine and Trans has been overhauled. I received the factory harness, bracketry for serpentine belt. etc. He will have a C.E.L. and anybody can diagnose factory trouble codes. Just trying to keep it simple.

Does anyone know what day it really is ? A time warp maybe ? Hmmm? Time travel and I don't remember anything.Comment

At least you got some time Greasy to decide if helping other technicians for free is worth the cost to renew, Sure Track should pay us! Nice job on the 69 C10 X, you paint like a pro now, time to build a body shop department!

Just when you think you have a good grip on reality something like this comes along and gets you wondering, maybe I bumped my head. I can still access Sure Track through Shop Key. It's when I try an external link that I get the message. I try to answer a few questions from time to time to exercise what left in my head.Comment

Sure Track would get a lot more activity if there was a quick link on top of or below the "feed back" tab on the right of the Shop key Pro screen. Some thing that would encourage asking a question if the technician is stuck on a problem or is missing information concerning the information (vehicle model, year, engine, etc. would be auto filled into Sure Track) that they are currently viewing. It would be a little closer to the old TIP system.Comment

I thought we used to get Emails when the Sure Track questions we participated in were updated ?Comment

I checked the communications tab on my profile menu and it's always been turned on. Maybe because my subscription ran out back on June 30th 2016.Comment

" Orwell that ends well" He never lived long enough to see 1984 and have to buy an OTC monitor or Mt2500 and get a long probe stuck up his tailpipe for a couple more decades

GB,
Sorry you ran into that problem. I fixed it so you should be able to log in without going through ShopKey Pro. We are working on a fix for that and also updates to the feedback system. Originally the feedback button was just supposed to be for software issues but people do use it for lots of other things.
I review the feedback daily to see if anyone is asking a car question on there, happens once or twice a week. I send them details on asking their question on SureTrack.

I was referring to having a tab above or below the "feed back" tab that would always be there for a direct link to sure track. When you click on it you automatically go to the Sure Track with the Vehicle ID with proper model. engine, etc. already entered so you could ask your question with as little effort as possible.
I noticed that when I clicked the renew tab on the sure track page that it mentioned that Sure Track is available with a Scanner software update but it makes no mention of it being available at cost $$$$. Is Sure track only available through software updates and Shop Key/Mitchell Pro ? And not with an independent subscription price ?
TIP of the day
Subject.... 06 Chevy Express 2500 4.8
Symptoms.... Start, stall....intermittent communication with ABS, PCM.... intermittent fuel pump operation.
Diagnosis.... Found ground strap between engine and right side of frame corroded, just hanging on by a few threads.
Remedy..... replace ground strap with one that won't corrode.
Synopsis.... This is Wisconsin. A braided ground strap where road salt can attack it.... bad ideaLast edited by greasybob; 10-05-2015, 07:51 PM.Comment
