  1. heres a PDF file for E7 Vmac 2 wiring diagram guys if anyone needs it helped me out heaps after finding it 🙂 V-MACK II (SHTs = P1).pdf
  2. hey man found out what was wrong the customer has had this truck at another shop for the same faults and what they did was cut all the wires at the ECU and ran 7 core trailer wiring out the LHS of the Cab firewall all the way to the pump, Bypassing the cab loom and engine harness, but what they did was they wired it up wrong at the pump side and ECU plug, finally found a wiring diagram and yeah found what they had done, so re-wired it all and put a new RPM/TDC sensor on and now she runs like a dream.
  3. cheers dude gave it ago but no change found, and when ive checked the wiring in the plug its all sweet.
  4. Hey guys does anyone have a PDF file or something of the engine wiring diagram. trying to chase down wiring faults for this old CHR, VMac 2, E7 454 1998. if anyone has something that would be amazing. DM me or email me cheers
  5. I’ve gotta be careful with what parts I’m removing to diagnose this truck as due to working in the salt fields everything I’m touching is breaking.
  6. hey guys ive got a 1998 CHR Vmac 2 with a E7 454 engine, truck is a salt field truck that has come into the workshop for a suspected electrical fault, engine will start to stall and then grab revs last minute before shutting off, then idle fine with no faults, or will stall all together and then when u try to start it again it will crank with no start. when it first came in battery's where dead, alternator belts where extremely loose and main battery earth cable was split. replaced battery's fixed earth cable, tightened up belt then checked DTC's only found three fault in system, ( fuel rack position sensor/ current below normal or open circuit, Fuel actuator/ current below normal or open circuit and Timing sensor/ data erratic, intermittent or incorrect). UPDATE : Checked the timing sensor tip looked to be ok just slight wear nothing crazy, will be ordering a new one tho due to cracked in half when removing due to rust from all the salt.
  7. E7 454 Random/ intermediate shutdown

    hey guys ive got a 1998 CHR Vmac 2 with a E7 454 engine, truck is a salt field truck that has come into the workshop for a suspected electrical fault, engine will start to stall and then grab revs last minute before shutting off, then idle fine with no faults, or will stall all together and then when u try to start it again it will crank with no start. when it first came in  battery's where dead, alternator belts where extremely loose and main battery earth cable was split. replaced battery's fixed earth cable, tightened up belt then checked DTC's only found three fault in system, ( fuel rack position sensor/ current below normal or open circuit, Fuel actuator/ current below normal or open circuit and Timing sensor/ data erratic, intermittent or incorrect). 

    with these faults i checked over the wiring to the inline pump and found the connector had bear wires showing, replaced and re-pined a new plug, and repaired a few other rubbed wire's in the engine harness by the alternator. once done cleared codes in the truck, truck started up fine and would run fine for a while drove around yard no problem for two days but then when i went to park up on the fence for customer truck faulted again tried checking for any DTC's nothing was logged both active or inactive. if anyone's come across a fault that sounds the same and has a idea what to check out that would be great as this is the first time in dealing with this old of a truck.  

    UPDATE...

    found out what was wrong. the customer has had this truck at another shop for the same faults and didnt say anything about it, but what they did was cut all the wires at the ECU and ran 7 core trailer wiring out the LHS of the Cab firewall all the way to the pump, Bypassing the cab loom and engine harness, but what they did was they wired it up wrong at the pump side and ECU plug, finally found a wiring diagram and yeah found what they had done, so re-wired it all and put a new RPM/TDC sensor on and now she runs like a dream.

      check the sensor in the flywheel housing on the left side..  if it and the wires are good, remove it, and inspect the tip. then, if good install it, til it touches and and back it it out 1 full turn, then lock it down..  also, check the electric plug on the injection pump for loose/weak contacts and cracked wires just inside the plug ends..  Do Not throw money at it before checking the basics.  That Series engine is tough as nails..
