Had some issues with my transducer I use for logging pump pressure. Julio gave me tips for checking for what the problem was and we finally determined that it was a bad transducer. Had a new one at my place quickly and all is good again.

Well looks like im not the only one to have one of these pressure transducers go bad.

I hope this doesn't become a common problem!

This is how I checked mine to determine it was bad.

Checked the volts going to the transducer. Grey and black wire that goes to the transducer had 5.03 volts.

Orange wire that comes out of the transducer was reading .10 volts on the bad one.

Orange wire that comes out of the transducer was 1.48 volts on the good one.

These readings were with the key forward engine not running. I use it to log fuel pressure at the rail.

When it rains it pours always comes in three's..

Its alright.. just drive through the mud until you find pavement again. This is why I hate selling parts I dont mfg. I've sold like 60+ of these and all of a sudden within a one week time period 3 go bad from different customers.

4 months ago I bought a fuel pump, ignition module, LT1 MAF, and a translator for a good customer of mine.

The LT1 MAF brand new AC Delco.. defective out of box... the brand new Walbro only lasted 2.5 months. And the Ignition module had problems with the tach output. One guy.. 3 out of 4 bad parts. What do you do... move on.

Stuff now days is mal mass produced. I'll see if I can get any answer on the sensor deal, more than likely i'll need to start learning how to speak chinese. As all these parts are now mfg'd overseas. Whether they come in American boxes or not.

Then you deal with no warranty on electrical parts.. no warranty on fuel pumps.. these sensors have a limited warranty of 90 days. And try and take care of your paying customer all at the same time.

Thanks for letting me vent.. have a great weekend..
