ECU (Computer box) briefing

 So that we may know something if the car does not run;   ECU may have something to do with this    ECU controls the car.  It is the brain of the engine.

Pick up headaches finally over

 After several trips to various p up service center nearly 6 digits in repair costs (labor and changing sensor) today our agony with the pick up truck which is nearly new, is over. The trouble was with stuck and dirty turbo actuator (the variable turbo actuator is prone to problems)

The expense this time was lower:   cost of scanning and the teardown and cleaning.  

A grab businessman who used to be HE operator, worker in car manufacturer, and head mechanics of car rental company said that most of car mechanics of service centers up sell, or sometimes outright doing guess work for the repair:   not methodical or critical thinker.

Today we spent only P800.00 for scanner and the rubo actuator cleaning   We can use the pick up again.  Before the brand was the go to brand:   we bought two vans and one pick up from them,   Now we are thinking hard whether we should stick to them.   

One advice to avoid this turbo problem is to allow the cooldown of the engine for 5 to 10 minutes before turning this off.   Otherwise you cook the oil which cools down the turbo shaft.

Its really a challenge, very daunting to restart an idle "stuck " engine

 We see mechanics of Matz seeming to have incantation to restart an engine that has been paralyzed for a long time.  And we can see Matt of Diesel Creek rejoicing and laughing at the top of his voice when he restarts an engine.  It should be.

Matz even says it is hula2 (a guess) because he could be wrong.   Matt of Diesel Creek gave up on a repair of gasoline operated forklift.  I would give up on 90% of what Matt has restarted.
