No left Kingland mid March, we opened up a Auto Shop/ towing/ car wash. Ernie's Automotive. Been busy

I'm leaning to intake gasket leak, but the customer does not want to spend the labor time to do the gaskets!

there is a weird sound from the center of the engine intermittently that would go away, sounds like another engine running inside the engine.

long term fuel trims are at +22%. short term are hovering around 0%. so it can have an air leak from inside the engine? i am fairly new at non ford brands, so taking a bit to learn the diagnosis of the alero, from some research on the internet the 3800 has had some issues.

I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero 3400 that runs rough at idle, surges and would eventually stall. codes p0131 and p0171 for lean condition, replaced the upstream o2 sensor was fine for week, and returned with surges at idle, on the highway and off idle the engine runs fine, replaced the maf sensor, cleaned the iac vlalve, inspected the map sensor vacuum hose, removed the egr valve and plugged the egr port, no change in idle, when the maf sensor is unplugged the idle levels out, smoke tested the engine and cannot see any leaks other than the base of the egr valve and a slight smoke around the shaft of the throttle body, any info would be great.. Thank you Ernest

-28 Celsius this week. We are gettin busy! 5 months of diesel work coming up

looking for any helpfull hints on replacing injector nozzles on 06 6.6 duramax,is it a major job?lots of experince with ford diesels but non with gm!think it's a lly engine!

just had turbo fail on f-550 chassis cab,will be removing tommorrow for further inspection,looks like fun!

off to edmonton in march for 6.7 course,should be interesting!

quick look at the 6.7L,new uego sensors and calibration updates on the 6.2 raptors

few 6.7L up here in Hay River cold weather testing with the 6.2L raptors

we had two raptors up here last week for cold weather testing -40 degrees,trans cooler leaks,awesome looking trucks,5.4 liter

the mines definently were not the place for me,did my 1 year contract and got out of there,this was back in 2001,back in the day of the end of 7.3 and the begining of the wonderful 6.0,and now i am sure it is mostly toyota underground truck work now,some people love the mine life and oportunity to travel on there 2 weeks out,but do see a strong turn around of miners in contractor field of mine life. have you been to any ford courses lately?i need the manual trans front wheel drive course,hard to get into in edmonton

at least you had a try at the great white north,cross country is a big move,and to the nwt is even a bigger move,drastic season changes,to bad you didn't show up in mid summer may have been more pleasant,it was nice to meet you and good luck in the future.

have 09 flex up here that has a stall while driving,no codes restarts after stalls,wiggle test harnesses,check pcm and battery junction box as well as sjb,all look ok,checked charcoal canister ok,active commanded vmv fuel trims went lean canister not full of raw fuel,do not have vdr,test drive for 80km could not verify,was in here 500km for same concern,hotline no faults,any other concerns out there of stalling? thank you in advance
