My project is started

[Wicked One]

Sounds like a tune issue. Pull the codes.

 

[Roush23]

Looking good Dave!!!!

 

[PrjctLxEnvy]

looks good man, just gotta button up those little issues and your good to go! BOooooOstin

 

[06RFSTANG]

The code is P1290-engine cyl head temp sensor high input
Dont know what to do about it yet or if thats why the temp gauge is not working and the fan is on constantly.

 

[Wicked One]

Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor Circuit Low Input (PCM STRATEGIES 1999 AND BEYOND) Indicates a CHT sensor circuit malfunction (shorted). Grounded circuit in CHT harness
Damaged CHT sensor
Improper harness connection
Damaged PCM
CHT V PID reading greater than 4.6 volts with key ON and engine OFF or during any engine operating mode indicates a hard fault. Note: DTC P0118 may also be reported when this DTC is set, either of these DTC's will activate the MIL light.

...Start with the easy stuff Dave...re-check all of the connectors!

 

[badazzstang]

I would def check all the connectors and make sure the pins didnt get bent or damaged.Now you didnt expect to just fire it up and have zero prob did you? Doesent usually work that way for me.

 

[06RFSTANG]

Gonna have to call Roush tomorrow and see if they have any ideas.If I have to pull this thing off again to get to the cylinder head sensor you will hear me from wherever you are.So F...ing frustrated right now.Going back to stock is always an option

 

[Wicked One]

Don't even think about stock Dave.

See what roush says, I think it is a minor tune issue or even a loose connection.

Good luck.

 

[noclutch]

Keep the faith. It will get sorted out....just the mod blues.

Ive had the mod blues more times than I can count.Dont let it get you down.Take a break from it,it always works for me.

 

[Timspony]

....Give them a call & go from there Dave!!! ...don't give up that easy!

 

[Timspony]

...any luck today Dave? :idk:

 

[06RFSTANG]

No luck..all the guy suggested was to check connections and fuses.Looks like I will be pulling it all off to check the connection for the cylinder head sensor.

 

[Timspony]

How bad is that??

 

[06RFSTANG]

Got to pull everything down to and including the manifold.Basically starting the install part over again

 

[Timspony]

.... I'm really hoping its just a bad connection!!! ...or at least something simple!

Roush just burned a tune into your PCM?

 

[06RFSTANG]

I just dont understand how the cylinder head sensor would make the temp gauge not to work and the fan to run high all the time.All connected somehow?I dont know

 

[Wicked One]

That sensor is what controls the fans and the temp gauge. If there is a pinch in the line causing it to ground out then it will read High and create havoc.

I am sure it is just a simple fix, but sucks that you have to pull it apart. I think I can make it up there this weekend if you need.

 

[06RFSTANG]

I have to see whats going on this weekend Gregg.If you want you are more than welcome to come on up.We will see as the week goes on,thanks for the offer
