    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    Pointing at #1. I'll test drive it in the morning.

    Doesn't seem right. I need to review the FSM.

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    So here is my rotor at #1 tdc: So I should remove the distributor hold down, and slide it out, align those marks, and once reinstalled , it will end up pointing to the top left hold down (red line) instead of where it is now (blue line)?

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    So, I gave up on trying to get the distributor on the right tooth. I have enough adjustment that I can get it running well, but it is off the marks. I still want to time it accurately though... To tackle this another way, I picked up another timing light, this time with a dial so I can set the...

    I don't have a trailer hitch, so I haven't towed with it and I haven't noticed the temp on uphills. I'll keep an eye on it though.

    They have not been removed during my ownership. I also do not see any indication of that in the stack of receipts from prior owners.

    I am using a timing light, dlc jumpered, in neutral, wheels chocked.

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    I've been futzing with this trying to adjust a tooth or two either way, and went to better and then wouldn't start. I reset to the point of putting the timing mark back on 0 and pointing the rotor at 11:30. It is back to where it was when I started. I think I'm still a tooth or more off. I...

    This is the current location of the lock bolt. It is accelerating amazingly. Timing marks are way off still around 20-ish deg btdc. I suppose another option is the crank pulley is off, but that seems less likely.

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    I think I may be onto another self inflicted problem. I've been messing around with ignition timing all morning, and what I found is that it accelerates from a stop like crap everywhere from 3-15 degrees, BUT if I move the static timing off the marks to the left/passenger side to what must be...

    How To: Adjust or Advance Timing

    I would gladly do it for free if I was near you, but since I'm not, I'd encourage you to learn to do this yourself. You can get a basic timing light for under $50. The simplest one you can find is fine, you don't need any dials, buttons, or other adjustments. It clamps onto the battery on the...

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    All rough running, idling and similar issues have been sorted. Generally speaking, it runs like a top. I'll mess around with the FPR and resistor tomorrow. I saved both of them. Definitely worth a try. Hearing @80t0ylc s experience sounds like it very well could be my issue, but I'm definitely...

    Wheel fell off near Scipio Utah

    You could probably do it in a hotel parking lot, if you have a tool kit.

    Is this the good kinda rust or the bad kind?

    Everybody's different, but I'd rather pay a little more up front for one that is in better condition, even if it means traveling for it. My thinking is that we are most likely going to pay for it one way or the other, either in purchase price, or in repairs down the road. Unless it is a mostly...

    Yep, front and rear steel bumpers, winch, sliders, xfer skid. It's the typical build around here. No lightweight! :)

    For a comparison I swapped in my original VAF and the behavior was the same.

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    I have, and the one in the rig now is actually a used factory one I bought used from a mud vendor. So I have both the working original and this backup. Also, forgot to mention I painstakingly adjusted the TPS by multimeter when the manifold was out to get it perfect by the book. What a PITA to...

    Doggy low rpm, but plenty of juice over 2k rpm

    I would definitely regear at the differentials if I was going in to do lockers, but I got this with the lockers already installed and the PO, and for whatever reason, they opted to stick with stock gearing (probably cost...). Since I am going into the transfer case to do the low gear already, I...

    Luckily where I live there are lots of remote dirt roads. In low gear, no lag or doggyness whatsoever. Linear power delivery from idle to 3k rpm. Looks like I need to accelerate my gear project. Thank you!

    I'm chasing a problem which I've largely ignored and wanted to pick the collective brain on it. Background is that this is a '94 with just over 300k miles. I bought it last year and have been chipping away at baselining it since. When I first step on it from a dead stop, it bogs down, then I...
