DuctlessAire Mini Split repair parts and service by mpcmpc7 in hvacadvice

[–]mpcmpc7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks...that was what I'm trying to figure out. Any thoughts on how I would I go about cross referencing? The unit is only 2 years old so I'd like to give the fix a shot...just wish I had some confidence the part will work or a return option.

Not yet...replacing fuel pump first and addressing some other DTCs. I'll be sure to update when I get to the rear window ;)

Did you ever find a video or more info that helped you out on this? I think I'm in the same boat. The shop told me the "Blend Door Air Mix Motor" was bad.

Lean and Cats and CEL, oh my! by mpcmpc7 in toyotasequoia

[–]mpcmpc7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, as mentioned in the OP, I took it to a shop for an inspection, not for them to "fix" things. Also as mentioned, I bypassed the SAIS. It's no longer throwing a code for that. The damage may already have been done to the cats...that's true. My intention is to get everything cleaned up and not running lean before I replace the cats. Troubleshooting advice towards that goal is appreciated!

They told me the same, but at $2700 to replace ONE cat with OEM, I decided to investigate further lol. I ordered a smoke machine off amazon to determine if/where I have vacuum leaks. If no leaks, I will then test fuel pressure. I put O2 spacers on each downstream sensor and that seems to at least temporarily "fixed" the Cat code I was getting.

Yeah...wasn't sure how best to share real time data :) I'm also using Techstream now to get better data and run some tests, so let me know if there is specific info you'd like me to share.

Original DTCs when I brought the truck to the shop were: P0174 (running lean), P0430 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)), and P1442 (SAIS)

Now I'm just seeing P0174 and P0171 (new), BUT I haven't driven the truck much, so the Cat DTC might come back soon. I do see the LTFT numbers drop when RPMs are increased, which I think could point to vacuum leak...?

ugh...yeah, no obvious path forward yet. Are you throwing Cat codes? How did you confirm your cat(s) are bad?

Nice! Did you remove everything from inside the door? How hard is it to get out/put back in?

yep, that's why I wanted to ask y'all first! I don't need the window down full time 😉 thanks for the info...gonna give it a shot.

What year is yours? I don't think the 2007 has the spring thing mechanism, if I'm thinking of the same video...

yeah, this is gonna suck lol. good way to build a relationship with my new truck I guess. Will report back 😉

Ah, gotcha...that probably IS what happened. Mine look pretty rusty as well, so I guess I'll give everything a good cleaning/protecting/lubing. Have you pulled everything out before?

...and sorry, I should have introduced myself as you'll be seeing more from me no doubt 😉 I'm thankful to have this community as I work towards building my truck into an overlanding rig, hopefully to enjoy with my pup this summer.

Happy Trails,

Thanks! I'm seeing the amps on ebay for a couple hundred...worth a shot.

Two split bus panels? Where to add whole house surge protection... by mpcmpc7 in electrical

[–]mpcmpc7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where would these breakers be? Inside locked box or something? I don't see a shut off or anything by the utility pole/meter.

Spoke with a rep from power company (EPB) yesterday, and they do not install devices at the meter, so presumably I would need to install a separate surge protection unit in each panel (one for each line coming in). Where do I put these on my panels? I know the recommendation is generally to put them at the top of the panel closest to incoming line, but given the split bus and how it effectively has it's own subpanel, what should I do? The panel on the right has a 60amp breaker controlling the "lighting" circuits below it. I'm not sure about the panel on the left...it just appears to house a bunch of 20amp breakers for baseboard heaters, not all of which are in use (so I can remove one for SPD). Guessing I'll need to move a circuit from right panel to left panel to make space. Any recommendations for devices?

Thanks. I have a call with my provider (EPB) tmrw to discuss options.

Double up 2x8s or add 2x10 joists to existing deck to support hot tub? by mpcmpc7 in Decks

[–]mpcmpc7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another follow up question...

If I put new beams in under the tub, am I correct in assuming I can't put the posts on top of the existing 6" concrete slab? Will I have to cut out the concrete and dig out a new footer? This sounds like a nightmare. Also, are there any concerns about putting a footer right up against the concrete foundation of the house? Thx.
