Cummins isx egr and turbo problems.

It's going to be hard to tell, unless someone have good pictures. I do, but on external hard drive I temporarily lost access to. I hope to find that #### charger tonight

 

I would like to see the position of the gutts when the valve is closed and when it's open. I would greatly appreciate if some one will post it - respond. On the bright side : you'll have a chance to take one off and clean it. I just put my back in and now
Second guessing my self. Don't want to buy the bad egr just to comPare.
Thanx.

 

I took exactly the pictures you are asking for - because I wanted to be able to figure out valve position just by taking the sensor off it - as a roadside quick way to learn whats up with it. To bad my charger is still missing.

Update. I got pictures, give me 20 minutes or so

 

My opens and closes : only inside-link is out. I'm thinking it closes and opens to much. If I can see the Position, I might be able to fix the problem. It drives fine-bob tail, so far. But, I like to drive knowing things are the way I want them to be. I would be thankful if it'll help.

Would you by any chaance have any pictures of its guts : with the side cover open, the one that has 5 bolts. ?

This is helpful, the shot of the guts could be more helpful.

 

At this point I got only one more shot - wide open, exactly like the one posted but opened. These two were going to be my "emergency" pictures. I will post it soon. Other pictures with the guts are still on the drive I have no charger for at this point, might be a while

 

OK Magnum, I got both pictures, opened and closed:

And now I got charger and other pics too, but have to roll, see you in the evening probably

 

you probably assembled it correctly guy, the FMI 4 is an electrical fault code. indicating you have no voltage coming back on the signal circuit from your egr position sensor. i'd short the 5 volt reference and the signal line and see if the FMI changes to a 3. If so, replace the sensor.

 

Short-you mean just put a jumper in the connector?
