Troubleshooting an Alinco 510T vhf/uhf transceiver
This is an older model amateur transceiver from the 90's, that has functioned well until now. When I select a frequency, it will revert back to the default frequency, after warming up for a few minutes. I can't afford a hefty repair bill. How can I troubleshoot the problem, and what is likely the cause ?

Do you have a professional type scan tool ? Need to check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in all the vehicle control modules , not just OBD 2 . Instrument cluster not working - PATS - passive anti-theft system won't let the starter engage . No communication between instrument cluster an the PCM - engine computer . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop. Have you check for power an grounds to the instrument cluster ? Do you know how to do that ? Viewing a wiring diagram for the instrument cluster an then using loaded circuit test procedure . Do you know what that is ? Using something that draws a few amps - headlamp . Pull the instrument cluster , look at a wiring diagram free here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb/ Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine . Under system click on body & accessories then under subsystem click on instrumentation . Click the search button then the blue link .

The PATS transceiver is located behind the steering column shroud and communicates with the encoded ignition key. During each vehicle start sequence, the PATS transceiver reads the encoded ignition key identification code and sends data to the instrument cluster.
The control functions are contained in the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster carries out all of the PATS functions, such as receiving the identification code from the encoded ignition key, validating the PATS key code and sending an enable message through the controller area network (CAN) to the powertrain control module (PCM). The instrument cluster initiates the key interrogation sequence when the vehicle ignition switch is turned to ON or START. All elements of PATS must be functional before the engine is allowed to start. If any of the components are not working correctly, the vehicle does not start.
Ask a question about Oricom UHF088 in UHF Radios. ... need a DC regulated power supply, you can pick one up from stores like from Supercheap Auto, Dick Smith or JayCar. ... I am after the wiring diagram for the uhf088 hand piece please?Missing: trucks
The Exhaust Converter should ideally last 12 years & as much as 14 years ,& still get you thru inspection
If not, then the car has been not running properly,in most cases, for years.
When you believe spark plugs last 100,000 miles & don't change them every 3 years, regardless of miles & leave O2 Sensors in past 100,000 miles,even thought they work okey,then your on a path to trouble & possibly shorten the engines life & it's components expodentially
eg: you cannot work on or check over your vehicles enough
That said -- no one does anything until they act up.
Preventative Maintenance that comes from years & decades of experience, is the key to happy motoring
Having once owned a trans repair shop,when you have a trans issue, 90% of the time it is too late & it will have to come out & be rebuilt
On both these issues you provided nothing but a story or statement, not anything done to diagnose the problems
I asked for the make & model,but you don't read what we suggest
I found your other posts
You have a Mazda in Ford Suv
Anyway your problems are bad COP Ignition Coils. Seeing as how you will have to remove the upper intake,I would do the spark plugs & 3 new coils ,on the firewall side,then walk those ones with left side ones, until you get all the misfires.
eg: with 3 new coils on bank #1,that leaves you the 3 from the right side & 3 from the left side,to use & find 3 good ones,for bank #2,the easier to get at side
If you still have issues,get back to us
Never remove coils or in the case of a vehicle with ign wires.
I understand what your trying to do,look for rpm changes,that type of troubleshooting was for the 1970's,todays electronics won't last long, when you remove or ground things
Make sure you have no vacuum leaks ANYWHERE & that the EGR Valve works proper.
May want to change the front Oxygen Sensors at 100,000 miles
Before you drill, I would DEF suggest that you take the console up & out, and inspect under it where you want to place your receiver. My reason is as follows: Under the console, there is the main ECU for the air bag system, with a bunch of wires going to & from it. Damaging just one of these wires may compromise your air bag system. A very expensive undertaking, as "repairs" to the air bag wiring harness are NOT recommended. Replacement of a damaged harness would be the correct path of repair. You may not encounter any of these wires, BUT, it is much better to be sure of what you may encounter where you are going to drill.
