are you sure that when your rotor is pointing at #1 on the cap that your #1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke and not the top of the exhaust stroke? just a thought. -Pete



89 Trucks will have the new model). But both of them have the IAT sensor. Given that it is part of the AFM, I hope you haven't taken it apart! I was curious, so I looked in both my 88 and 94 FSMs. There should simply be some voltage (0.5V-3.5V) between E2 and THA, and you should check both at the throttle body and at the ECM, and the resistance value should be 2-3KOhm at 20C/68F. good luck!

Yeah - THA. That is what is referenced in the shop manual. I don't haveit in front of me, but I remember that acronym. It's a new diagnosticcode - I will check it but I don't think it is what is stopping themotor from cranking. I will play with the grounding strap and see if that makes thingsbetter. Luther



It's a good thought, Pete. The symptoms certainly point to something like this.

I am going to check that this evening. However, I can't imagine how the cams could be 180° off from the crank - I've had the timing belt on and off several times on this vehicle and could probably set the thing up blindfolded. I suppose I could have swapped the camshaft pulleys from left to right by accident, but I marked them before taking them off and I don't think that would matter anyway (one goes on 'backwards' to help hold the belt on.)
