The owner of the Ford Mustang complained of lack of power. The scanner found the TPS sensor out of range.
Also the throttle plates were found to be very dirty.

We also checked  if there was any leakage in the Injectors and in the one way check valve by turning on the key on and then off
and then too see if the pressure  would go down but it didn't.

In this test  this is the pressure when the key is turned in the on position. this test
was found to be a little low.
 
 
 

This test tested the fuel pressure when the engine was running.  It along with the key in the on position
test was also found to be a little low. We figured that the only reason that all of these tests could be
so low is that the fuel filter could be plugged. We proceded to check out the filter and sure enough
 it was slightly plugged and was to be replaced.

Another test that we proceded to perform was the smoke test on the engine with the smoke machine.
I hooked the connector that the smoke comes out of  into the brake booster vacuum supply that goes
into the manifold and into the throttle body. And after sealing the throttle body air intake  we saw
a little stream of smoke come out of the EGR valve. Although the EGR valve was not very good
 it was not the source of the problem.

I pulled out a spark plug to see if we could Determine anything from that but it looked ok.

When we found that the TPS sensor was out of range we had to check if it was working  so we used the Snap-On
vantage to check . It was really easy to use because we could bring up what wires go into the connector and tie into them.

Once we tied into the wires we could see if the voltage changed when we had wide open throttleand when we slowly moved the throttle.

Before we Finished we cleared all the codes from the computer
and found that the engine had more power. So in the end we replaced
the fuel filter cleaned the throttle plates and cleared the codes on the computer.
I never thought that using all those computer tools would do anything but it made the
job alot easier to find the problems and fix them.
 
 

SOME OTHER PROJECTS

This Differential pin came out of a ford Aerostarthat needed Axle seals and the customer tried to do it himself
but stripped the head on the bolt. from that point we had to use the torch and cut into the pin that holds the
spider gears in place.

And here is the pin we had to cut into on the end of it.

Anothe project that I had to dowas axle seals on a 86 Toyota Corolla rwd.
And as you can see it was leaking really bad from all the oil on the tire
