My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

Ok, now, as I stated, everything was off when I replaced the rear timing actuator and installed the other 3 cleaned and inspected actuators and found the rear bank dead.

It was started twice (so I could get the camera and check my exhaust manifold) before I unplugged/plugged the rear timing actuator to stop the ticking.

Would the resistance of the new actuator cause this issue, or is it in fact bad? In other words, it it worth it to reflash the ECM and try the reman actuator again?


As it sits now-

I put the original timing actuator back on and it starts and idles fine. Since I had a new timing AND metering actuator, I replaced the rear metering actuator, and then used the plunger out of the old one to replace the worn/with a step plunger in the old rear timing actuator.

It still has .005" side play, but no step on the shaft.
