Wow, what a generous offer, hopefully you don't become overwhelmed.

Cyrull,
Your offer is not only generous, but also a valuable asset for those that just took note...
Glen being your first "client" comes away from the conversation with exactly what he needed (at least thats what seems to have just taken place), and that kind of resolve will likely spur serious future consideration for many of us...I know I've just made note of your abilities for future reference.
Pretty cool tool to have at your disposal! Very gratiouse offer you've made.

I hope they are all as easy as Glen's request. Happy to help!

Also, whoever owns the server I hope my posting all the documents won't complicate your server requirements.

Cyrull, thanks for your generous offer, what a nice asset to the SMB community!

Ford E-250: 2005/E-250/5.4L gasoline
Request/Issue: Intermittent code PO193

I would like more insight on this, my mechanic hasn't found anything and the code comes frequently over the past year, with no specific pattern. So far I don't notice any change in performance. Thanks!

This was such a huge help!!! My mechanic, who is fantastic & helping me with this project, admitted that he has never taken the dashboard apart on this make/model of vehicle. He also tried to get some info. from Ford and got only as far as I got. He was floored when I brought him the stuff Cyrull provided. Don't worry... He's sworn to secrecy. I'm not proud of it, but the reality is I come from the school of "Just Get A Bigger Hammer" so I easily could have ended up damaging my dashboard and spending $1,300.00 to replace it. Now, thanks to Cyrull, I have that $ to spend on other projects.

So this is based off all the most common repairs for this code. Looks like it is most commonly the fuel pressure sensor.

This was the most common fix and diagnosis.

I do this sometimes, it can be expensive lesson(s)

. Happy to help

Thanks Cyrull! Looks like a faulty sensor is by far the cause, which confirms my suspicion. I'll replace it next time I get that deep in the engine. And I'll rule out some of the other common causes at the same time.

Wow---this is an extremely generous offer Cyrull!

I do hope it doesn't overwhelm you---and thanks again!

The parent service Cyrull is accessing does incur a monthly cost which wouldn't be practical for a single vehicle owner who needs an occasiona

l helping hand with technical information. For a professional shop it would be a major asset especially considering its updated and refreshed nearly constantly---I'm assuming that though.

Again thanks for this!
