My 91 ram has a 318 engine. Acts as if the hall effect is faulty. Post #1 of the connecter should be receiving at least 11 volts with key on, engine not running. I check my meter at the battery first and got 12.2 volts but at the connecter I only get 8.8 volts. I followed the wire back to the smec and still only got 8.8 volts. My garage installed a new smec temporarily and it did not help. A while later I replaced it with another one, still the same. I would like to know what wire provides the 12 volts to the smec, can anyone help with where I might get this information. I wonder if there could be a poor ground , again I wouldn't know which wire. Many have tried to find the problem, dealer etc. This is a great truck and I am the original owner, I would love to have it run the way it used to!!!

 

It would be better to only post a problem once rather than multiple times. Multiple posts create confusion. Thanks.

 

didn't realize I posted more than once, where is the 2nd one. I did find out that 8.8v is OK

 

Here is the double post I commented on. I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not as a mean spirited one. I am only trying to help. I have seen comments that were taken the wrong way and it got really ugly really fast.

Its cool, my bad. I honestly forgot that I posted the other one.

 

The man above knows that I have had my share of brain farts. LOL

 

Sounds like the problem I'm having now. What did your problem turn out to be?

 

Faceman75; this thread was continued at the below link but the original poster, brucris, either never solved it or didn't tell us what was finally wrong.
