Used to work for cat in the R&D doing drivability and ADEM III ecm development for over the road truck engine. So happy to see those cats still on the road.
Thanks for not being just a driver,but knowing how to use your head and keeping it moving. After seeing wear your’s is at ? You know Cummins has it,just a little more back on the top corner !!!
This awesome exactly what I found out in PA with mine boss was like how'd you know what was wrong said well you do this trick and told me cylinder 6 injector wiring so I popped valve cover and bingo loose Injector wire....glad someone put this out here for whoever researches finds it very helpful tip
Good video. I had a similar issue with my '95 Western Star. My truck shut down on me as I was leaving the yard and heading to the fuel station. I'll see if I can get a code off the dash using the same method that you used. However, my problem turned out to be a bad priming pump. Apparently, it went bad with the previous owner and he just used some type of putty to try and seal it. Well, the putty finally got to brittle and allowed air into the system. In any event, I completely overlooked that and replaced the cam sensor. I keep the old sensor in the truck for back up now.
I have a 1LW 3406E and Ive been having a check engine line come on for about 2 seconds and goes off when I accelerate sometimes and when the shop plugged it in the computer it says it's exactly this issue, the speedometer sensor thing, so I guess this is what I need as well. Thank you for this info.
Yet another reason cat is better than my n14… they stick that sucker down deep where you need a special sensor socket or cut your own socket in half to get it out.
I had an issue with my 3406e after changing batteries . I mistakenly shorted the negative ecu wire on the positive terminal and my truck would crank but not start. I thought that I fried my ecu but I fixed the issue by unplugging the cam position sensor, cranking the motor then plugging the sensor back in. The ecu must of went into a safe mode and this somehow reset it. Another thing to note is before I fixed it my rpm gauge did not go up while cranking.
Had to change the same sensor on Monday. Cam position had me stuck for a day in Arkansas. Curious though, did you lose dash RPM as well? In my International I lost RPM's and thats what sent me on that path
Glad to hear you got it figured out, hopefully you saved money doing it yourself. Now that I think about it, it was acting a little wonky, slow to respond and eventually stopped working but stayed the same after I changed the sensor. I changed my gauge and had no more issues, but the gauge worked fine in another truck oddly.
