I discovered gas was coming out of the top of a fuel injector this weekend. I had the injectors cleaned by RC Fuel Injection out of CA a while ago so I’m thinking it’s either a wrong sized o-ring or I did a bad job connecting the injector to the fuel rail (I’ve been chasing down a raw gas smell...
I’m having trouble with one of the BVSV’s I recently replaced. If I tighten the BVSV to the point it can’t turn it anymore (without using too much force) the nozzles point 90 degrees away from the metal tubes they need to connect to via the vacuum hoses. If I tighten it only to the point that...
I’m in the process of replacing the glasses on my oil plan. There is a post from @Poser that I have been using as a guide. He uses a carquest supreme black gasketing silicone sealant for the corners and on the saddle of the gasket. I couldn’t find anything similar at the auto parts store so I...
I noticed a leak from what I’m assuming is my main seal. I’ve decided to tackle this job myself, so I started doing a bunch of reading in this forum. It sounds like it is highly recommended that many other items should be replaced while I’m in there. I made a list of everything that I’m going to...
Hi all, I got my carb back from Mark’s off-road and am nearly done installing it. But, I can’t seem to find where this hose connects. I searched through the FSM but didn’t have any luck. Thanks in advance!
I finally rid myself of all the common CEL codes. This required replacing nearly the entire EGR system, fuel injector cleaning, manifold cleaning, and new O2 sensors to name just a few of the efforts I undertook. I’m excited the codes are gone but there is a raw gas smell. I think it’s coming...
A while ago I posted about stalling at idle after about 30 seconds after start up. Based on the responses, I went and re-examined the carb that I rebuilt and noticed the accelerator pump was sticking. I fixed that and some vacuum hoses that were routed incorrectly. The idle at startup issue is...
Hi, I just finished rebuilding my carb and replacing all the vacuum hoses along with some valves. The truck starts up great, but has a very high idle at startup (above 2k RPMs). It then stalls out after 15-20 seconds of high rpm’s. I replaced the fuel filter as a part of this process. I see gas...
I’ve been working on some items in the engine bay and lost track of where some hoses connect. I’m hoping that someone can help confirm the places where I marked as A in the picture are the same hose. Also, there is a hose coming out on the opposite side of the valve I marked as B. Does it go...
Hi All,
I’ve done a lot of reading and research on the infamous P0171 code. I think I finally nailed it down to a bad O2 #2 sensor. I’m hoping someone can take a look at my OBD II graph to confirm my suspicions. I was driving around 50-65mph in the middle of the graph. If I remember right...
I was replacing vacuum hoses and broke off the nozzles on one of the BVSV’s (see second picture). I ordered a new one and tried replacing it tonight but I couldn’t screw the new one in all the way. My frustration got the best of me and I really tore up the metal on the BVSV “nut” (see first...
I feel like an idiot asking this, but does anyone know of a good way to remove these gaskets? I let them soak in degreaser for 48 hours, but they’re still not coming off.
Is part number 5 in this picture a filter? Also, is it supposed to screw all the way in or only about half way? Mine will screw in only about half way until it starts requiring more force than what seems should be necessary to screw it in any farther. Thanks!
I am rebuilding my carb and some linkage pieces unexpectedly popped off. Now, I don't the order they go back on. I thought I took several pictures of the carb during the rebuild, but apparently I did not take enough because I did not capture where these linkages connect and the proper order of...
Hi, I went to replace the oil pressure sender because the gauge wasn’t working, but the wire isn’t even connected. I can’t find it hanging or tucked away anywhere. Does anyone know where it begins on the firewall side so I can hopefully track it down? Thanks.
Hi,
I changed my fuel filter about an hour ago, but now the vehicle won’t start. I’m stuck out at my shop, and can’t figure out what the issue is. I disconnected the fuel pump connector in preparation of draining the fuel lines. However when I went to start the car to Drain the fuel lines, it...
