Default RE: Gearbox problem ( I think)!? Genesis

i have a 3pm also and i think it glitches more than the original genesis radio pack, ( i think maybe its because i tried to use the cen failsafe with the futaba set up) ill have to remove it to see what happens, dont want to buy a new one yet until i can get my hands on that venom smart temp.

See heres the main problem

you seem to have two issues that are hard to put together,

1. engine revs and wont return to idle under your control.

2. no power to driveline,


now what issue, could possibly cause both these things to happen? ,

1. ok bad one way bearing, but then why does the engine rev, why cant you control it,

2. engine leans out for some reason, but then why does the driveline lose power?

This is why i had come to the assumption it might be electrical problem.


I guess what i would do is next time it happens cut off the engine since its revving like crazy, then immediatly start turning the pinion gear to see if it does move the truck, at least so i could narrow it down to individual components,
