Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) P5000:
P5000 E27 K25

SN AT3503871
Don't know how old the lift is (at lest 10 yrs) but it only has 1075 hours. Had water in the oil so changed it twice and let it run for about an hour to burn off the rest. Noticed after about 45 minutes I heard the motor die. Walked over to the barn and fired it back up. Let it run another 15 or so and shut it off.

Next day try to start it and it does start but I have code E-27, CPS error and dash panel lights are flashing, running a bit rough also. Other write ups on site list it may be the plugs and/or coil packs. Pulled plugs and they look good, have ordered a new set.

Might have found the diagnostics port under the cup holder. Its a 10 pin rectangular port but is not a ODB2 type.

The forum is really dead, must not have hardly anyone here.

In any case to maybe help someone like me just looking for help. The code is back and motor runs smooth but does start hard. Battery is a bit weak and cranks maybe 5 seconds before it runs. Thinking it might be the crank sensor, figure might replace it. Will look at both crank and can sensors to see if anything is noticeable

Plugs replaced and error remains. Started disconnecting coil pack and number 3 does nothing when disconnected. Coil pack 22448-AR215 and appears to be about $85 each and up

Doesn't appear there are very many users on the forum.
