I'm not sure when the group moved here, but the cost is either $110 or $220 per year, though I think Rick sneaked in at $110.? An even better way to support it is to use the Sponsor This Group button on the home page.? 100% of your amount is credited to the cost of the group, no fees deducted by Groups.io as there are with Donations.? However, it can only be used to pay the group costs going forward.? You can use a credit card or Paypal.? I know PP charges a fee, but Groups.io covers it on the credit given since they have access to these 'reserved' funds now.? -- Duane 05HD Rialta 227K Miles

Duane, I have been a member of this group for ... years. Please, let me know how much the yearly membership is and I will send you a check or Venmo you the money. It would be my pleasure to cover the cost for once.
Thank you,

Re: 95 EVC engine cooling
Not sure if the attached PDF has any new info for you, but here you go! Have you replaced the ignition switch, as well?

Hi everyone. I am having issues with engine cooling on my 95 EVC. I had no lower speed fans operation and no after run fan operation or coolant pump. I checked both resistors and they are good and I have both fan speed operation when I jump the gray, upper radiator temp sensor. I just replaced the 4 pin lower, blue sensor and got low speed fans at lowered engine temps and then high speed fans with high engine temps but the speed never reduces after the engine cooled while running. Additionally, when I turned the engine off when really hot, and removed the key, the fan operation stopped and there was no after run pump function. Whe the key was replaced at quarter turn, high speed fans and pump came on. Any suggestions on where to turn at this point would be much appreciated. TIA, Sean

Re: P0171 Code: Trouble diagnosing
I fixed my issue by replacing one of the one way valves , not sure of the part name. The one replaced was new, so it must have been defective.

We have had 11 years of fun in our adventure machine and have learned to be consciences EVC owners thanks to all of you.? Now ours is up for sale.? If you know anyone interested in purchasing it, please check out the links below on either Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. We are located in up-state New York, but not too far from New York City.? We look forward to showing off our EVC for you during your inspection visit.? We think you'll like what you see.? For important details and features, check the posting links below.

Re: P0171 Code: Trouble diagnosing
The vacuum operated PCV valve could be a stealthy leak. The internal diaphragm commonly fails and allows unmetered engine gasses/air into the intake thereby messing with fuel trim. In my case, I noticed residual oil in the intake track, 10-15% lowered gas mileage mostly in freeway travel events,.but no codes. However, my van is a 1999 so not sure if your PCV valve is of similar configuration. It is an easy check. If you can blow into the vacuum port of the valve and it free flows, valve has failed. Good luck!

Re: 3D printer designs for Eurovans
I have been unsuccessful in locating replacement left and right dash air vents that have been crumbling apart.
Seems like a tough job for 3D printing with the grills or other fashion to fit the space.

Re: P0171 Code: Trouble diagnosing
Thanks Duane,
Any particular trouble spots on the intake to look for leaks or methods to locate them?? I've tried with a stethoscope, but the rest of the engine isn't exactly quiet and can't find it.? Since it doesn't seem to happen all the time, I'm not sure what kind of leak I'm looking for that could be occasional and I don't have much experience trying to troubleshoot these vacuum leaks.
I'll pull out VCDS again and see.? The last time I hooked it up there seemed to be some trouble with the K line I had little or not communications with the ECU, so wasn't so keen to dive that deep into what is going wrong there.?

P0171 Code: Trouble diagnosing
Hi everyone,
My 2003 Eurovan has an intermittent p0171 that I can't seem to find the source of the vacuum leak. I first got the code about 5 or 6 years ago, and when I went hunting for a vacuum leak, the brake booster was cracked.? I taped it at first, then replaced it and things seemed better.? Still 2-3 times a year, typically after being on the freeway for a longer period and exiting, the code will come back.? I have tried spraying carb cleaner on all the lines I can find, and don't get any difference.? When I checked the short term fuel trim with an OBD tool it came back at .78% and in reading this thread () it should be something more like 20% when there's a leak.
I'm not really sure what else to do so could really benefit from some troubleshooting advice and things to check.? Any typical leaking spots?? Ways to check other vacuum lines?? At 21 years old, I'm sure there's rubber decaying but damned if I can't find where the heck the trouble is.?
I also have not touched the MAF at this point, assuming that it is happening when I come back down to idle when the throttle body isn't open and air is leaking in.? But maybe that's the wrong conclusion.? Appreciate any advice and troubleshooting steps.??
Thanks!
Menko

Re: New topic = new thread please
When using just the emails, starting a thread is simply starting a new email convo with its own topic
Where is this forum page? I don't see anything like that at , and I only have the email list subscription.

Just as a general rule of thumb / good forum etiquette: ?when posting a completely new topic please start your own thread! It’s simple, just click on the “New Topic’ button on the L menu bar (4th one down). Thread hijacking is becoming very common here and it detracts from the functionality of the well-oiled machine / searchable repository of information this forum could be. We will all benefit from this simple action.
