99 etec 300 losing power

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I have a 99 DM690s with a em7-300 etec. The truck recently has been become harder to start, hot or cold, and has lost alot of power. It free revs quickly and doesn't have a miss or smoke. We have changed all the filters and checked fuel lines.

Blink code 3-2 comes up every once in a while. Also code 5-3

Any ideas?

Thanks

3-2 Engine timing sensor This code could cause excessive cranking and low power. There are 2 sensors, engine timing sensor and engine position sensor. One is on the front cover reading the cam (next to the breather), the other one is in the left lower flywheel housing. They are the same sensor but I cant remember which one is timing and which one is position. You probably have a bad sensor.

5-3 Shutdown lamp Is your shutdown light turning on and off when you cycle the key? I could be a bad bulb.

It was the Flywheel sensor and a bad bulb. Thanks for the help.

Now my 2012 MP7 is going into derate mode throwing DEF codes. :blush:

I will probably send that one to the dealer and bed over when the bill comes.

Check spark plug cap connections. Do you have any excessive spray going into the cowling? Can you try another portable tank with different hose and bulb? Did you install the filter in the right direction? One of my had 50 ETEC for 5 years, the only thing he did was change the filter, new hose and bulb every two years, and changed plugs every season and gear oil once a year.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
