thought of somethin, my air filter is a light brown now, could all the dust kicked up by other trucks had killed my truck? just a thought, Redwolf

sadly no, it took us all day to drop the transmission and get it back up, it'll all be hooked up tomorrow, all that's left is the plate that goes between the transmission and engine, starter, crossmember, and drive shaft then we gotta bleed the cly then she's done, so maybe tomorrow if it aint rainin too hard we can meet up, Redwolf

yeah, still would like to do a little meet and greet today if possible even if it is just the 2 of us, Redwolf

alright, well it might be a while, me and my dad are havin issues with a 1 peice transmission, Redwolf

well ya were thinkin your place and have a cook out or somethin right? Redwolf

good news folks, i'll be able to make the meet and greet if we do it later in the day like after noon or somethin, Redwolf

http://comancheclub.com/topic/12163-acronyms/ shorthand for everything wow thanks, Redwolf No problem. You are welcome. First thing you need to do when you have a no start engine, is figure out if it is Air, Fuel, or Fire the engine is lacking. We can eliminate timing right off the bat because the engine does run (sometimes). So, start with the obvious stuff first. If you are starved for fuel, check fuel filter and fuel pump. If it is lack of fire, check coil and then ignition components. If you don't have points, then you have an electronic ignition which means there is a module somewhere. Module like coils, get hot and open electrically. Check for spark first: The easiest way to check for spark is with an induction timing light. You have 3 connections to make. pos. and neg. at the battery, then you clip onto any spark plug wire. Have someone crank the engine while pressing the trigger on the light, and see if it flashes. If it does, then fuel is the problem. Do this, and report back if you still need help. i know it's got a spark cause it wanted to start yesterday but i never could get enough power, it deffently can't be fuel cause i just installed a fuel pump (electric) and i just checked all that stuff the other day, lines, wire to the fuses everything, i'm thinkin it's either the coil on the carb or my truck can't run for a really long time and when it gets really hot it has issues to stay runnin or i need a new battery and alternator, or what i don't wanna believe it is, the engine had a vapor lock.

ah ok, well i don't think they'll be the issue, i don't my MJ has that cause that sounds computer related and i don't have a computer, Redwolf

it'll crank and start up now but earlier today it wouldn't, and what's the cps? Redwolf

today i was at the scrapyard and i startin havin issues keepin my MJ running i finally left the yard and got bout 2 miles down the road at a red light, light turned green i tried to go but the MJ shut off, wouldn't crank over from there, pushed it off to the side of the road called a tow truck and magicly the truck starts, i'm thinkin it vacum locked or the coil is bad, any ideas what it could be? Redwolf

sweet, i know that area and it aint that far (well to me it doesn't seem like it) but i got bad news, i don't thinkin i can make the meet and greet this weekend, i went to the local scrapyard and my comanche died and had to be towed home, worst sight ever :( i'm hopin i can fix the problem and replace the clutch before the weekend but the weekend is the only time my dad can help me and he knows engines way better than i do, Redwolf

hickory as in bobs fishin hole area? Redwolf

i was thinkin a school close to the kempsville and indian river area of virginia beach on saturday (july 20th) that way it's kinda clost to norfolk and chesapeake areas, but a cook out sounds nice, ya said you're stayin in chesapeake due to the marines right? Redwolf

will do, gotta week to see how many folks can make it so we'll see how this goes, Redwolf

well ya drive a comanche and own one, that's good enough for me, like i said, i'm thinkin bout gettin a meet and greet goin friday or satuday of next week on the 19th or 20th dependin on how many folks with MJs can show, Redwolf

i noticed this yesterday, i press in the clutch, weather it's movin or not i hear this spring sound and when the engine revs high i hear it even louder, any ideas what it could be, it's comin from the drivers side of my comanche, can't tell if it's the clutch plate, throw out bearin, or something else, Redwolf

there are, i keep seein more and more every week, i'm thinkin friday or saturday of next week if i can get enough people with comanches to meet up somewhere for a meet and greet, Redwolf

key word should, i'll give it a shot on payday that way if it does break i can go buy a new one, Redwolf

i'll give that a shot, worse thing that could happen is it breaks, second worse is it don't do anything, Redwolf

that is true, all i know is that my light don't come on, i don't know if the bulb is burnt or if i don't get the light cause i don't have a computer, Redwolf

i'll read the manual tomorrow, i bought a 2x4 one off ebay but never fully read it, i don't even think my low fuel light works bein that i used to have a mechanical fuel pump mounted to the side of the engine block, Redwolf

is it possible to have a 10 gal tank? i filled my MJ up today from E to F and it only costed 35 bucks but that was only 10 gallons, where's the other 6? Redwolf

i tested the fluid nozzles today on my way into work, i hit 50mph and started sprayin and it still it the top of the windshield and into the bed, although it seems to be a better spray when i'm drivin Redwolf

i got it now, i got a 16 gal tank, Redwolf
