So....as you know....I was pretty excited to get my $356.00 Shark Injector today.
You probably also knew I had O2 sensor codes P2237 and P2240....which is why you see the Bosch boxes in my pic (in a different thread).
So....I was following the instructions pretty closely.....plugged the charger into my battery, roll down driver and passenger side windows, plug Shark into OBDII port, turn key to position 2, exit car, wait 30 seconds...then pushed button on the shark.
I got through all of this to the step that says "sit back, relax and enjoy"....so I went inside to check on you guys. Everything was fine. Wasn't paying close attention to lights obviously...which may have provided useful data.
So...maybe 3 minutes later I come out and its flashing red...giving me a code 139. Started over....got a code 132, then on the third attempt (which I ended up receiving a code 139)..I noted my check engine light was not coming on before pressing the button on the shark. I do not know when this started happening.
So...I called Turner (actually after first code came in)....who called Jim Conforti. Yes...they called the man who developed the shark Injector. His recommendation was to unplug battery...and touch positive and negative terminals together...to see if it would clear any stray currents. At this point we were just trying to start the car. Oh yeah....I tried to start my car after attempt #2...and the shark must have done something to fuel management system....because it wasn't starting....just cranking over. My car has always run and started like a top.
So....the recommendation from Jim did not work....and TMS sent me overnight UPS shipping label...that I got at 1815. Got to ups at 1840...because I had to pull my DME....but....UPS closed at 1830. Ya! Another win.
So....looks like I could have DME back on Saturday.
Also to note is that TMS and Jim gave me excellent customer support. Really unparalleled and went way out of their way to help. Both parties I would recommend and trust every time. I believe this to be a fluke issue
And I am the third failure that TMS had ever known of from one of their chips. I took pics of my DME and will post later..as I had never pulled one...as its not normal. In case it might educate someone in the future.
DW77 out. Gotta go build props....lol.
EDIT (3/10/10): YOU HAVE TO USE A CONSTANT BATTERY CHARGER, NOT AN AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER!!!!
