I am in the process of changing mine now. From what i have noticed the Tac will suddenly stop working. It will be fine one minute then all of a sudden while your driving down the road. you will notice your tac on 0/ ZERO. other then that if you turn it off at a stop light in an attempt to "reset" the computer. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO START YOUR TRUCK!!!! FYI, YES IT HAPPEN TO ME.

Why does your 03 cummins act blown up with good rings head and gaskets?
i don't know exactly how its acting but it could be a bad map sensor your truck will go in to limp in mode it runs half power just get a new sensor and reprogram good to go
Can a transistor act as temperature sensor?
yeah...it can... if u attach a thermometer to it!! =) =P
Will a bad map sensor make truck act like it starving for fuel?
It could
What would a vechile act like if the crank sensor is no good?
The crank sensor is a crucial ignition component, and the absence of Top Dead Center transition signal to the computer from this sensor normally results in no spark to the plugs.
Your 2000 Concorde won't start it turns over but won't fire?
The most common cause of this condition is a failed crankshaft position sensor. If you have a tachometer or a scan tool (not a code reader) check for an RPM reading while cranking. An RPM of 0 while cranking usually indicated a failed sensor. If you crank the engine for 30 seconds and if the crank sensor is bad, it will set a PCM code which you can check for using any OBDII code reader. If you must replace the crankshaft position sensor, I recommend the following procedure to avid great difficulty that can be caused if you break the sensor off in it's bore: 1) Unplug the electrical connector and move the wire clear of the area. 2) Get a fire extinguisher handy. You won't need it, but safety is important. 3) Remove the bolt from the sensor. 4) Try to very gently twist the sensor. If it twists, remove it and install a new one. Otherwise continue: 5) Use a torch to head the sensor and the metal around it to a high temperature. The sensor should catch fire and produce a small yellow flame. Allow it to continue burning until step 6 is complete. 6) Gently twist the sensor back and forth as you pull the sensor out of its bore. The melted plastic will act as a lubricant. 7) Extinguish any flames. You should coat the new sensor with silicone dielectric (tune-up) grease before installing it. Always verify that you have adequate ventilation before working with fire.
If the wires on an O2 sensor have been broken off will the engine act like it is starved for fuel?
yes it will act up. the computer is not getting any signals.
Can Piezoelectric transducer act up as both actuator and sensor at the same time?
Yes a peizoelectric sensor can act as an acuator as well and at the same time. One the peizoelectric crystall is deformed by a force or apressure it sends an electric signal. And when an electric signal is applied toa peizoelectric sensor it gets deformed & this deformation can be used as the actuation for the controll purpose.
If the crank sensor is bad in a 2002 Chevy truck how does it act?
The starter will crank the engine over but it won't run.
Why does my ford explorer 5.0 8cyl camshaft sensor act up when i unplug the sensor it runs great when i plug it back in the truck acts up and feel like its going to stall out?
pcm is going into default mode you likely have a bad cam sensor
What would cause an 87 Buick Park Ave to stall and not start act like no fuel when warm?
Could be cam sensor, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor or the magnet on the crank. We just replaced all of the above and found out the hard way it was the last...and cheapest. Pull the cam sensor, look at the end of your cam and see if the magnet is damaged.
Can a faulty MAP sensor cause stalling?
The MAP sensor - another frequent cause of stalling or non-starting. This measures the air pressure in the manifold. You can test it - if your car won't start, just unplug the electrical connection from the MAP sensor. If it starts, replace the sensor. MAP sensor details. (It may act as though the fuel pump is not working properly - starting, then quickly dying).
How do you set the timing on a 2.2L engine in a 1999 Chevy Cavalier?
Is is controlled by a computer. If you are having issues that seam like timing you should check the knock sensor. This will make it act like the timing is off. If it is acceleration then check the oxygen sensor or mass air flow sensor.
