Cyl 7 and 3 are on which side?

[stryqer]

I got a P1277 cyl 7 and P1273 Cyl 3 BUzz High to low side

and a cyl contrib test P0269 Cyl 3 and P0281 Cyl 7 Inj Circuit Bal fault

I am guessing this is the harness loose PLEASE tell me these cyl are on the drivers side

Its a van and the pass side looks like a nightmare to remove the VC

Thanks! got your reply immediately and fixed the problem, was the harness, purrs like a kitten again!

Took about 3 hours, 1 hour just to get the rusted bolt holding the dipstick tube, have to buy a new $75 dipstick tube!!

[cchase]

Glad you got it. I have done the same thing with the dipstick, its a PIA.

[stryqer]

did you install dipstick on a VAN?

Looks impossible without pulling engine or removing exhaust manifold at the very least..


Oh God I am terrified

[cchase]

No, the cram those in there. I just broke it and let it be. sorry not much help there.

Well I got the tube in after about 8 hours of struggle.
I have been working on my own vehicles for 25 years and can assure you installing a dipstick tube in a E450 is the worst experience of my life.

Got it in the first time in about 3 hours then the dipstick itself was jammed due to a bad angle/slight kink in the tube.
Had to pull it out again and straighten it and finally got it in a second time and it is functional.

Anyway just thought I would tell anyone to AVOID breaking your dipstick tube especially on an Econoline at all costs.
