Is it worth changing this out if bad.
7 3 powerstroke intake heater test.
2000 ford f350 7 3 l diesel purple wire is supposed to be ground for intake air heater solenoid relay.
I reacently repalced the gpr s last year on them.
Add 20 of airflow.
The aih is modulated by the pcm via a relay that is located next to the glow plug relay.
2002 f350 7 3 diesel the air intake heater relay has power on one sides and engages hear relay close when the key is turned but there is no power on the output side.
Does this help on cold starts that much.
The air intake heater is not needed in most cases and was designed for extended idleing.
This wire does not go to ground.
When does the air intake heater relay open.
And how would a guy check to see if.
The 1999 5 2003 7 3l power stroke came equipped with a factory air intake heater aih that can be found in intake tract.
1999 2003 7 3l power stroke diesel air intake heater cause hard or even no start.
So we know they are ok.
This intake heater protrudes directly into the air stream in the cold side of the intake manifold and blocks approximately 20 percent of the intake path.
This air intake heater blocks approximately 20 of the airflow through the intake manifold.
1999 2003 7 3l power stroke diesel intake air heater relay.
A quick and easy install of backwoods diesel s 7 3l powerstroke aih heater delete plug.
The harness used in conjunction with the aih plug will stop the pcm from throwing the p0541 code intake air heater relay 1 low.
The past couple weeks my truck will not start if not plugged in temps range from 2 degrees to 45 degrees.
But by jumping this terminal to ground relay works and therefore air intake heater works.
Air intake heater plug code eliminator for ford 7 3l 99 03 code p0541 is detected and logged during a diagnostics scan of specific sensors by the pcm at start when the air intake heater plug is disconnected.
We have a few trucks that are kinda hard to start when cold.
