Thanks for the detailed analysis, Paul. Does TAN compensate you for your
time invested in improving their website?!
Every car repair and maint I perform, the more often I notice once a small
problem is found many others come into play at the same time.
A friend of mine lent to me his multimeter and every current and voltage
tested was optimal. Looking closer, I noticed a slight whistle where
there should be no whistle and found a small piece of tape blocking a
triple nipple vacuum port located on the rear of the right side valve
cover. A larger hose continues a few inches and connects to the rear
right sight of the throttle body. A small nipple(is this the right term?)
protrudes forward and is definitely sucking in quite a bit of air. I can
see no dangling hoses anywhere. Several eyes have inspected the entire
engine compartment-nothing. Is this to some sort of electrical and/or
vacuum sensor?
The gauge instantly resumed normal operation when I unblocked the port.
(Blocked with green electrical tape mostly sucked inside the port-clearly
no professional install) The engine is a V-6 4Liter 4X4 with cruise, air,
power. Thanks for your help
Hunter
