Hi guys. After recently buying my 2002 2.7 Sprint Shifter Ex ambo in QLD and driving it home to South East SA, I decided its time to do some general servicing etc.
One major thing I noticed before buying it was the black smoke it blows when you put your foot down - either travelling or stationary. Obviously its overfuelling. The guy I bought it from told me he had the injectors done about 200kms ago (at $1250) and his mechanic told him the black smoke will go as everything beds in. If i take the black cover off, I can see the injectors have been played with (blue silicone evident) but certainly not replaced with new ones.
On the way home we tried replacing the air filter but this made no difference. I have a mate with a Snapon Scan tool. When we went to plug it in we noticed several of the pins were very corroded. Even after using contact cleaner, we cannot get the Scan tool to talk to the Sprinter - not even battery voltage will come up.
Does anyone know what the pin outs of the diagnostic plug are? I did my apprenticeship as an auto elec so testing it wont be a problem once I know what the pin outs are. Looking at the online manuals I cant find the info on the plug anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
The other issue I have noticed is the Sprintshift is sluggish to down change - in 6th and put your foot down any amount it thinks about it for a few weeks and then drops back to 4th. Also it feels like it is lagging in too high a gear a fair bit of the time and makes like a faulty tailshaft vibration - (worse when cold) Where would be a good place to start looking for this one?
