Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:42 Post subject: australian recall on J-22 |
|
|
I understand there was a recall on the 3.0 diesel.
The one i have i got cheep because it has never run well, lack of power hard to start. well I have posted a few times on this forum And followed the advice but all with out luck.
i had the white wire out, rather than cutting it I pulled the pin out of the plug
at some stage I had also pulled this recall wire out and put the original back in. J-22
Today i gave up, heap of junk was going to the wreckers. anyway i decided to put every thing back together.
The white wire was easy J-7. but when i came to this replacement wire J-22. well j-22 is not from where I took it from. The new wire has a label on it
Now i have down loaded a manual and counted the plug positions. But i have now no confidence that it has not been mucked about with before.
plug has marks from being opened.
Could some one either list the wire colours or take a picture of each side so I can check that things are all good.
NB i put the New j-22 in 22 not being where i took it from, and she fired up. just about shat myself. 4 months and whala |

ok so she was running.
after 10 mints idle, I turned her off, started again. go to pull the other cars out of the drive way,
come back check engine light is on
Turn it off, try to start again, dead, no dash lights no nothing.
One battery was hissing, so disconnected that. a few sparks shows its dodo and dumping amps.
but still no dash lights etc. check the fuses under the bonnet, the two big ones all ok.
Now confused |

Shame you didn't get an alternator reading. Could be over charging and has now fried the battery and ECU.
Had that on an old Cavalier of mine. Ran a dream then the EML would come on. Ran like poo. Miss firing, no power etc etc. Then the light would go out and ran fine. Took me ages to figure it out until one day I had the multimeter on the battery waiting for it to do it again. Turned out every now and then the alternator would be pumping out 17-18 volts. I was lucky it didn't do any permanent damage to anything. New alternator and everything was back to normal. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

I think you mean the three plugs on the ECM - J1, J2 and J3. Here's a few pics which include the colour of each cable and its function.

As for the Check-Engine-Light, that comes ON when the ECM perceives a problem - which may NOT really be serious! For example, most 3.0L Troopers have been driven hundreds, if not thousands of miles with the CEL ON because of the Throttle-Position Sensor fault - which is TRIVIAL! Use the onboard diagnostics system to determine WHY the CEL is ON [that's the 16-Pin plug down by your left foot]. THEN you'll know what real problem must be fixed. _________________ 2002 LWB Trooper 3.0L
