Update on loss of Turbo Boost and check Transmission light

[Gregory OConnor]

Air Filters like Fuel Filters are not a Time and Mileage maintained
item. Changing them on defined interval is good exersize but does
not guarantee they will not be capacitated one hour or 5 miles after
they are new. Kerry described a situation where the AF could be the
imediate cause of power loss but not the root cause. Changing the
filter in his situation woud be a temporaty fix.

The filter is large and will take quite a bit to make it blocked.
Electronics designed to keep engines from billowing black smoke, have
functions that shut down the R's to keep the smoke from the stack.
These devices use DC power. The common negivitive ground in autos
is not sealed up like the positive current. Part of the negitive loop
is the frame and body. the wire connection between the two is a
common problematic area and often the the least labourous fix (My
Kudos to the kind shops that ruled out this fix). Many of the sensor
are either on or off and some like the Mass Air Flow sensor(does a 8V
have one??) has values that the computer reads to keep things going.

I would ask the shop if the input is shutting down the r's? Is the
input isolated? and Can the sensor be by-passed and or can we run a
new independent ground and input wire to that appliance? . The
computers are not used on the 8V92 in construction equipment and
stationary generators.

The big problem with the fix is you will not know if you addressed
the problem untill it does not happen again.
