I did find the o ring on the water sensor at the bottom of the filter had split on mine as well

Just to update, the truck is still the same, its my first day off and have just tried bypassing the filter which made no difference.

Is there a 'how to' for checking sensors that an idiot can understand ?

yeh u need a multi meter

No sh1t Sherlock

Guys be gentle with me as I'm not great with things electrical, I have just tested the 'air temp' sensor (the one facing the front on the housing with two wires, my multi meter is set to x1R and the needle barely flickers and stays firmly over at 1000 ohms.
Shouldn't it go to the other end of the scale?

Also I have tested the other 'vacuum' sensor, the outer pins measure 25ohms.

Just had a brainwave and removed the temp sensor, heated it up and re tested, the resistance does reduce the hotter it gets so that would suggest its working yes?

No ideas then?

#61 by 123hotchef , Mon Jun 01, 2015 8:40 pm

yes mate the resistances for x deg c is in the book

#62 by 123hotchef , Sat Jun 06, 2015 12:29 pm

i remember now

if it only does it when warm have you checked engine coolant temp sensor fuel temp sensor boost temp sensor

Ive checked the two sensors at the throttle body, I was not sure where the other ones where and had to come back to work, am off again Tuesday for 7 days so will carry on with it then. To be honest Chef I struggle reading instructions, always have for some reason

but always get there in the end.

The 2 sensors on throttle body are you referring to the 2 solenoids

#66 by Jon Grimsby , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:27 pm

These two Chef

Those 2. We're they both ok

#68 by Jon Grimsby , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:38 pm

Yes as far as I could tell, I will try them again on Tuesday to make sure.

#69 by 123hotchef , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:42 pm

Weird problem you have not the only one though

#70 by Jon Grimsby , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:53 pm

I have read similar but others seem to have rough tickovers, mines not rough just low, hopefully one of us can find the fault and cure soon.

#71 by ronniecabers , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:56 pm

gonna through a curve ball here.....read somewhere that pumps have occasionallystarted to ' break down ' when warm , and pouring cold water over them cools them enough to work properly....gotta be worth a try.....

#72 by 123hotchef , Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:57 pm

Worth checking the throttle pedal sensors too then

#73 by Jon Grimsby , Sat Jun 06, 2015 8:06 pm

@ronniecabers I will try but fingers crossed it isn't that, I would think a fault like that would cost more then the truck is worth to repair.

@123hotchef I am studying the manual as we speak and will be copying the pages I need at work tomorrow. (I can follow instructions on paper better then I can on a pc screen).

The thing that really winds me up is that I am still certain it was all ok before I serviced it.

#74 by ronniecabers , Sat Jun 06, 2015 8:07 pm

As I said Jon...Its a real curve ball and very unlikely but......

I cant find a how to, do I have to remove crank pulley to fit a crank sensor?

Dosnt matter, just found a picture that shows that I do need to remove crank pulley and bottom cover, what a stupid ruddy design.
