    I'm willing to bet it's a aftermarket Chinese pump that's just failing maybe advanced auto car quest junk
  2. Eric sicca
    Also inspect the gas tank with your phone camera. If it's all rusty I would replace. You can get a tank,pump,new straps and lock ring from rock auto in a kit for 190bucks

    Un plug the pressure regulator and retest. If it does exactly the same which it shouldn't. Pressure should rise at idle with it unplug. Could be a bad regulator. I would open up her gas bowels and check the pick up line that's after the fuel pump. Also replace the fuel filter. It's like 12 bucks. If all else fails replace the pump with a oem Bosch replacement. Also the sock on the fuel pump inside the tank could be collapsing in as you give it gas. The 30 psi at idle is fine but it should rise not drop...

    Is the pump really loud?
  5. Eric sicca
    Check your fuel pressure of its lower then the requirements pull the fuel assembly and check the hose that's inside tje tank the connects to the pump. It's a few inches long. If that seems fine replace the pump. Also if you havnt changed the fuel filter that's on the frame I'd start there

    Run a 95 rail with return line and a dodge caravan fuel regulator should but you in ball park of 49 psi
  7. Eric sicca
    Will do
  8. Eric sicca
    Definitely running better and didnt bog down but it did backfire alot and stulled and died once from a start on a hill.
  9. Eric sicca
    So I checked the pressure it's at 36 which I low but better then 87 which it was. But at further inspection I found a 2.5 inch piece of the converter in the old flow master.....
  10. Eric sicca
    Yes or a dodge caravan regulator which would bump it up 10 more. Just with the same exact issue as before the swap makes me leery it's not the fuel pressure unless it's still at 87 psi after the swap. Would a bad regulator keep it up that high?
  11. Eric sicca
    Yeah that's what's in now with the earlier 1991 thru 95 rail an regulator. Unless the regulator is shot and allowing the same high psi through I think it's another issue all together
  12. Eric sicca
    So they are grey, the ones I got with the rail off the 95 where orange. The 97 motor requires 50 psi I believe. Just been a royal pain in my butt
  13. Eric sicca
    Unless they are wrong injectors but fit the 91 thru 95 clips
  14. Eric sicca
    The PO did and yes I hooked up the vacum to regulator. If regulator was bad it could be flooding I suppose but what are the odds of the same exact issues. Only thing I did not replace was the injectors only because they where direct fit with the the new rail and where the same kind from the 95. I got the clips with pig tails when I got the new system expecting they would be different on this but they were the same one hole with same clips

    I pieced a stock muffler on temporary . Its tagged historical so I guess I could just remove it "temporary" I had a high fuel pressure issue. They put the 97 motor in which has no return line and no regulator on the rail. I replaced it Saturday with used products with the return line and rail regulator and havnt been able to test the pressure yet but before the swap it was at a steady 87psi. So unless this regulator is bad it should have dropped. If the fuel pressure is the issue would the ecu default function normally then once it allows the 02 sensor to work just mess it all up?
  16. Eric sicca
    Not sure. Have only owned the comanche for a couple of months. The flowmaster sounded like it had something in it before I cut it off
  17. Eric sicca
    On acceleration, doesn't matter if on hill or not. Before it starts I have zero issues with speed. Once it begins I gotta limp home. I can feather peddle to get past the bogging but it comes right back. I drove to my buddies house other day and it did it on way there didnt think I would make it but on way home it didnt sputter once but I was light on peddle but 99% of time its doing this
  18. Eric sicca
    Have a 1988 comanche with a 97 4.0 Starts and idles fine after 5 minutes of driving it starts to bogg down and a small backfire sound from intake I'm assuming. Only code I have is 42. open or shorted condition detected in the auto shutdown relay circuit. An open condition detected in the ASD relay output circuit. An open or shorted condition detected in the fuel pump relay control circuit. An open circuit between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit. Circuit shorted to voltage between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit. No movement of fuel level sender detected. but I'm not sure if this is relevant due to the mismatch between the newer motor and the stock mj fuel pump. Gauge reads backwards. new plugs, wires, IAC, upstream 02. been at a loss for a couple weeks now. No other codes except battery temperature due to I don't have one. please help
  19. Eric sicca
    Are you missing the picture? I said gas guage not anything else. I've welded next 100s of tanks I'm not worried about 6 volts 3 feet from tank
  20. Eric sicca
    Yes but not sure of the exact year
  21. Eric sicca
    It's a Frankenstein but a rust free one.
  22. Eric sicca
    NOt feeling lucky.... that's why I asked for help
  23. Eric sicca
    Appreciated. I know some of the years had a violet wire which was the guage. Maybe that faded pinkish was violet at one time
  24. Eric sicca
    Everything works but the guage. Toggles on and off with key
