Oh, OK... I get it. Ya know, this is one of the bad things about the DML as I
have yet one more thing to check (my AIS)... sunday, Sunday, SUNDAAAAAY is
going to be truck day at the old Fawcett residence as I'm planning on an oil
change, front & rear diff. fluid replacement (broke down and bought the right
AMSOIL 75W-90), cap & rotor replacement, MAP test (finally got those jumper
leads ground down with a dremel), AIS (or IAC) test/cleaning *new* ;o,
chasis/steering linkage lube, and in my spare time install a CB in my nephews
rig and catch a bit of the Flyers game on TV... GEEZ! Weekends aren't what
they used to be since I bought a Dak!

Well I had the dealer replace two of them, the AIS sensors, under warranty.
I pull fault codes about 3-5 times per year and occassionally will get a
code which pertains the to AIS sensor motor. So I pull it out and clean it
up really good with some throttle body cleaner, as the tip of the sensor
gets pretty dirty. This seems to fix it for a good period of time. Lately,
the RPMS on my Dak's tach have been jumping and fairly erratic, which was
fixed by replacing the AIS sensor while it was under warranty. I really
think I am just going to stick with replacing the AIS and leaving the TPS
alone. I am going to check on replacing the manifold's coolant sensor and
the engine's temp sensor(since my Dak is running warmer than it used to) and
is rough on cold start ups, so the coolant sensor might be sending the puter
a cold/warm/hot signal which may be causing the rough idle. Oh well! I cant
wait to get it installed and get that Flowmaster put on; I am kind of hoping
it isnt loud and annoying, but I went with the Delta Flow 3chamber so I
think I will be ok. I am going to put it on tonight
anyways.......reguardless of what time I get out of my interview, as I just
cant wait to see how it performs.
