8v92 Engine Replacement

[Gregory OConnor]

Dave, all pre 2004 engines are an art to diagnose when an issue arises. after around 2004 the onboard computers would spit out enough data that couldbe compared to that engines manufactures If/Than tree to prove an appropriate repair path. the computers on the early V92 and s60 were set up mostly to run the engine more efficient and within smog standards. The newer the engine and computer, the more variables it has to show issue cause. For the most part the early computers pre 2000 were more of a repair cause than a clue t0 issues.

It is my hope that the net and forums such as this will help share info and build If than trees for repairs for the old stuff. An appropriate subject title , symptom description for the first post is important. followed as a thread by input posts frommembers offering experience and thought, then an epilogue as to the corrective action taken.

I recently made a post for an issue with my 94pt.- LeeC a forum member posted a helpful thought and his post containd more clues as to a path for me to work thru the problem. I got phone calls and reported the dynamic in the thread so it is archived forforum reference. One thing I noticed was that few offered suggestive responce with input . I can only guess it is because they fear the information would be challanged?? Information is only good after challanged. The old 8V92 technicians have completed many challanges at the tuition of the customer in the past. their experience has an artistic value.
