Looking for help
I just replaced my FPR valve today. My 2001 has had the idle funk for a long while and I was getting tired of it. I read all I could before tackling it. Now that it's done and I know and have the right tools I think I could do it again in an hour or two. I happened to have one of those long 90 degree screwdrivers for adjusting the carbs on motorcyles. What a life saver that was. Still managed to drop a screw in the valley. Ended up going to Lowe's and replacing them all with hex cap screws even though I still have 2 of the originals. Didn't remove the bridge. Just the neg. batt cables, A/C compressor, alternator wire, three electric connects, water housing, hard piped water, and two fuel hoses. Acces wasn't easy with fat paws. My Craftsman 1/4" drive ratch wasn't of the fine tooth type but it worked.
The bracket that attaches to the driver side valve cover to hold the hard water pipe has a bolt under a huge wiring harness. I removed the bracket to get the pipe out of the way. After I installed the new FPR I started the truck to make sure it would start before re-attaching this bracket and filling the radiator. It started fine. No hiccups. I smiled!!! In order to get that bolt back into the bracket under that wire harness I flipped the gray lever which unplugs that harness and allowed me to move it slightly, enough to get the bolt started. Like a dummy, I forgot to flip the gray lever again which locks the harness in contact. I jumped in to start it again after buckling everything back up except this gray lever. The truck wouldn't start. I got worried. Then it dawned on me I forgot to flip the gray lever and plug that harness back together. It started after doing so but now the Service Engine Light is on. I tried undoing the batteries hoping it would reset. It hasn't. Any recommendations?
BTW, the idle funk is gone. Yippee!!!
