Got out on the highway properly yesterday for the first time in years, which was cool, but something's still not quite right. After I get up to temp, I get a very rough idle when stopped in gear. smooths out in park and is fine with a little gas.
I know, air in the fuel lines. I've replaced all the rubber front to back on those lines twice over at this point (yes including the little line at the back for the return feed). I've been over them myriad times in the past looking for leaks and went over them again yesterday but didn't find anything, and don't think I'm going to. I need to get a bicycle pump and pressurize them front-to-back to make 200% sure.
I still haven't rebuilt the IP, so it could be that, honestly the prospect of tearing the injection pump out and getting it back in and timed right intimidates me, but I suppose while I was in there I could get the boost compensator apart and swap in a new diaphram. I'll search for some 13bt ip removal threads, grateful for suggestions.
The other thing that's tugging at the back of my mind is to check out the fuel tank. I've never had a look at the top of it. Nor have I ever seen the feed lines going down in there. I know there's a sludge filter at the bottom of those lines (77023-22040) maybe that's gummed up.. Is there an access port to the gas tank on the lj78?
