FixKick,
I did make a mistake when testing the TPS for C > D. I did not retract the dashpot prior to the test. I’ll start there next time I’m at the Tracker. I should be down there next week.
If the TPS C>D test fails again, I'll try and re-calibrate the TPS to 500ohms or less. If it cannot be re-calibrated, then am I correct that I need to replace the TPS?
On the other hand, If the C > D test passes with the dashpot retracted, I’ll check to see if the cam belt slipped and or if I have a bad key.
One question on the Acid Test, will I be able to pull the timing cover back enough to see the marks on the crank pulley?
I’m starting to think the cam belt slipped as well since everything else looks to be good and I seriously doubt the previous owner did the 60K maintenance.
Anything else I should be checking on while I’m there?
Thanks again for the help. This will save us a ton of trouble.
