I was waiting for you to say he cranked on the EPC screw lol

 

he probably did. I put another one in there.

 

Its good practice for sure because you cant tell if someone has been monkeying with it. Especially for $20 Rostra

 

I ran into this a while back with a local stock rebuild cheapie favor. Got done . customer installs and bam bam its shifted hard. He did a presure test idle 135 lol give just a little throttl 200 plus , Gave him a new EPC and all fixed. . You never know, I replace them in most builds but this was a favor for someone "in need" "disabled fixed income" But yes with those you never know, I did make a tester for them but rarely use it as i just replace them as a matter of doing it . As with many things I have just started replacing and fixing rather than test as i found MOST stuff you test Is indeed a problem and just fixing the issue leaks or whatever on all is less time consuming and costly than test then fix .

 

Speaking of the adjusting screw on the EPC solenoid. What is the reason its there? I mean, obviously its adjustable but in what case would you utilize this?

 

Its used in calibration, of course new is calibrated but it can also be used to make small ajustements . Like some buiders are dead set on no more than 220 psi max well lets say on a dyno you get 230 , you could ajjust down a little. Or with a base calibration as a model I could get out my homelade tester and calibrate one that was messed with to operate a certain rang in a given currect range. But mostly some turn them up just to get a litle firmer shift or to hide a slippy shift
