    Yes. I always like to go back to the last thing touched. At this point, I would not be concerned about the fuel tank as I think you are seeing smoke venting from the EVAP system.
  2. JFP in PA started following Remove PSE cutout in 2 minutes, no tools required , Oil in Air Intake / Vacuum Leaks - Source??? , Rear tail light wire harness map and 3 others

    We have seen new (aftermarket) AoS units fail right out of the box, which is why we no longer use them. If the car was in my shop, I would start by hooking up a digital manometer to the oil fill cap and seeing what kind of vacuum you see there; it should be less that 5-6 inches of water, any higher than that and you have found your vacuum leak and the source of the oil in your intake.

    1 - Permanent magnet 2 - Sensor housing 3 - Engine case 4 - Soft iron core 5 - Inductor coil 6 - Reference mark Could be the sensor connection, bad sensor, magnet has fallen out of the flywheel or even a bad DME (but not likely). Test the sensor as follows: Remove connector. Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 2. Display at 20 °C: 0.8 - 1.0 k ohms Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 3. Display: 00 infinite ohms Voltage output at the sensor should be 0 and 7V or so at DME terminal 20.

    The CPS is a simple Hall effect sensor that generates a low AC voltage signal when ferrous metal passes by the sensor head. You can test the sensor still in place by using a digital multimeter set on low AC voltage, then spin the motor over to read the signal strength which should be consistent pulses. You can do the same thing with a scope.
  6. JFP in PA
    Long before I would replace the sensor, I would be running diagnostics to see if it is working or not.
  7. JFP in PA
    Check your crank position sensor; if the DME does not see the engine turning over (CPS), it shuts off the fuel supply.
  8. JFP in PA
    When you spin the engine over and the car doesn't start, what is the tachometer doing, is it bouncing or not moving?
  9. JFP in PA
    In the relay panel above the fuse panel.
  10. JFP in PA
    I would try an LED compatible replacement flasher and see what happens.
  11. JFP in PA
    Sounds like you have a leak.
  12. JFP in PA
    Do not double post, it is against the forum rules you agreed to when you joined.
  13. JFP in PA
    Nothing.

    Small spatula does the trick:

    Whirring. You need to check for fuel pressure and delivery rates; otherwise, you are groping in the dark..................

    This photo shows the relay panel under the driver's side foot well. The fuel pump is not normally turned on unless the engine is running, but you can remove the relay and bypass it using a simple jumper wire as shown here. Remove the fuel pump relay (shown in the inset) and then jumper pins 30 and 87 (typically labeled 3 and 5 on the relay panel). This will cause the fuel pump to turn on automatically when you turn the key in the ignition.
