Injectors have no Pulse, not getting power to injectors?

Hi,

The code is unique. The PCM provides a 5v reference to the oil pressure switch and the MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor). These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside of the PCM but are bussed together inside the PCM. Therefore, a circuit condition on one sensor's 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor's 5-volt reference circuits. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the PCM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0641 sets.

Start with the oil pressure switch. Disconnect it and check for power. If you have a digital multimeter, you should see 5v with the key on. You can do the same with the MAP sensor

Let me know the results.

I did as you suggested and checked the map sensor plug as well as the oil pressure sensor plug for power. Both carry 5 V. When I disconnected the oil pressure sensor, my engine light turned off. And the truck runs just fine. When I plug it in, the engine light comes back on and the oil pressure gauge shoots to 80 pounds. When I jiggled the wire, the oil pressure gauge went back down to zero and the truck ran fine. So, I ordered a new pressure sensor for it and that should take care of the problem. I appreciate all your help Joe. You’ve been very patient with me in this.

I would also like to ask you about how to wire the new throttle body that I have. The old one still works fine, but it probably needs a new one, but I need a wire diagram for the plug because apparently the new sensors are wired somehow differently. If I need to, I can take a picture of the sensor and the throttle body unit and send it to you so that you might have a better idea of how I can wire it.

Hi,

Thank you for the update. I'm glad to know you found the issue. Make sure the connector or wiring to the sensor isn't the issue.

As far as the throttle body, if it isn't causing problems, I would leave it alone. If you have a new one and the sensors are different, that can lead to new and more difficult issues to resolve.

Let me know if the new part takes care of the problems.

Take care,

Joe

Oil after changing out the oil, pressure sensor, the engine light went off for about four days, and then it came back on, and told me that both of my field banks are running rich. And so, I changed out the air filter because it was very black and very old. Hoping that this will solve that problem. But my question is, would it be the new injectors that I installed? Because they are four hall injectors, rather than the original two whole injectors, which I still have. They seem to be very clean.

Hi,

If the fuel pressure is within specification, then I would suggest reinstalling the original ones to see if the problem goes away. There is a good chance that is the cause.

Let me know.

I put the original injectors in, and so far the light has not come on. But it took a couple of days for it to do that before, so I’m going to wait for another day and see what happens. Meanwhile, I’m going to clean out the mass airflow sensor Because I bought some mass airflow sensor cleaner. I figured it would be a good idea and it might help a little more.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. Hopefully, that will take care of the issue.

If you plan to clean the MAF, here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know how things turn out for you. I'm interested in knowing.

Take care,
