Must have been a bit stressful putting those in.

Been driving it around a bit and for some reason it will shut down while driving. I’ll turn everything off then try to start and starts right up. Also leaking fuel somewhere around the tank. That’s why they invented shake downs I guess…

 

[landcruisnman]

Fuel filter? Fuel pump? I’ll have to start checking things off the list.

Ground connections
Connections at sensors
Cam or crank position sensors
Grounds and 12v sources for ECM
Etc… etc…

Did you plumb provisions for a fuel pressure gauge?

Did not, but might be adding that. Time to start messing with it

Top flange on tank leaking. Need to drain some fuel and re-seal this. Fuel filter replace also. Door panels in from SMS. !!!

I H8 fuel leaks.
What filter are you running? Is that a return line out of the filter? Built in pressure regulator?

 

[landcruisnman]

I think it's ECU related. I'm going to have my wiring guy take a look. It's fuel pump and ECU communication issue we think.

That is the famous Corvette filter. I does return the fuel back to the tank instead of returning back from the engine. I have the same deal in my Pig.

Me too and sets the pressure at @ 58 ?

 

[Megadoomer]

That is the theory.

 

[landcruisnman]

Well, it just keeps getting worse. My transmission has to come out. It's stopped shifting into Drive. Just had it looked at to rule out any electronic issues and no codes. No fun. Thank god Cheeto showed up when he did.

 

[landcruisnman]

Well. Tranny all redone again and going back in. My buddy with driveline shop let us use his lift after he re-geared my pig with 4.88s and put the ARB lockers in. Here she is full droop like she’s flying in the air. Nice Bronco!
