thomastractorsvc Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Fired up my 92 that pulls my end dump from her winters hibernation. Last ran in about 3 months ago. Took it out to top it off and threw a 3-5 code looked it up says >>Timing Actuator Response Improper << What is that the ecovance or some sensor? Still runs and drives Any ideas?

fjh Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Is the code still active? The if the timing advance is working you should not have smoke if it’s not working and smoking blu white smoke the screens in the timing Solenoid could be plugged up with goo!

thomastractorsvc Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Its was active turned the truck off it went off. No smoke or anything out of the ordinary. The timing advance is the ecovance correct? Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

fjh Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) correct it may have stuck after sitting wouldn't fuss if it has no code now! How old is the oil! Maybe change the oil !When its working correctly , It gets its orders from the the ecu the timing event marker and the cam sensor according to temp ect!

thomastractorsvc Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 It has less than 5000 miles on oil, it looks like someone messed with it as the cover leaks and so did the electronic valve. I took the magnetic apart and resealed it. I noticed that it had a combo of metric and SAE and a nut as a washer. I may try and take it apart and reseal it as it seems to be weeping. Or just run it until it give a fit then replace the whole thing for $789.00 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
