Loud vacuum sound coming from engine... help!
mikeviera replied to mikeviera's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I checked that vacuum hose and is connected... also i checked to see if there was any cracks or holes in any of the hoses and couldn't find any... the only thing that i can think that it could be is the fuel pressure regulator -

Loud vacuum sound coming from engine... help!
mikeviera replied to mikeviera's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i think that i figured out what it is.. after doing some research. I have found that the symptoms that i am have with the truck happens with most that have a bad fuel pressure regulator. This is one of the forums that i was looking at and what they had to say: What happens when the Fuel Pressure Regulator starts to Fail? The most common issue is the spring-loaded diaphragm in the FPR. When it begins to fail, the excess fuel (being supplied by gravity and the fuel pump) are not returned to the tank. The result? Your fuel Mixture becomes incredibly rich. Symptoms include: -Poor MPG (15-30MPG) - check -Poor Performance - check -Fouled Spark Plugs -Strong Fuel Odor when running - check -Bogging down - check -Stalling - check -MAP Sensor Error (2 Flashes) -Exhaust 'Popping' -Non-standard and erratic engine temperatures - check -Cool Exhaust Gas Temperatures -Gas in Oil -Difficult to start - check -Low/Erratic idle speed. - check "check" issues that i'm having. -
Hello all, I have installed the 4 port fuel injectors referenced from this forum: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7770 The problem that i have encountered is that after i installed them, There is a loud vacuum sound from the engine, when running. Which was not there before. I'm not sure if i damaged the fuel pressure regulator or if something else has happened. Has anyone had this issue after installing fuel injectors? Also, i was told that when i installed the injectors, the truck would not idol as high... but, the idol now caused me to stall on the highway when i was in traffic. It started right back up, just worried that it's going to be more frequent now. Is there any other adjustments that i need to do?? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I would like to add a 2" lift... not really sure what i need to do.. -
I have a 88 MJ 4x4 i6 4.0l and am looking around for shocks... I wen to Bilstein, Re mono and OEM to see what was available... can't find anything. Does anyone have any advice or links for shocks? Maybe some good deals? I think that i have the original shocks still installed... very rusted..

I have an 88 and installed a 40 Series Delta Flow - Two Chamber Muffler http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/searc ... &sc3=&sc4= It sounds great! :clapping: It's not as loud as the audio clip on the website, but it has a nice rumble to it... As for difference... i have noticed it. I did a cold air intake and the muffler and have notice a drastic difference in horsepower and torque... I have a i6 with 205k miles under her belt. I would say get the flowmaster. I paid $90 for it... well worth it :cheers:

Turn signal wire diagram
mikeviera replied to mikeviera's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
so i did some testing and found that the front left blinker pigtail was bad... So i replaced it and i turned my blinker on and is now working :banana: , but then i turned the lights on with the blinker.... now it just stays on....no blinking :grrrr: Then I turned on the the 4-ways... the back flashers blink simultaneously and the front flashers blink offset. :doh: Has anyone had this issue? -
I just ordered my 4 port fuel injectors... going to install them next week..woohoo :banana: I'm excited to see how much a difference they are going to make... From what i have been reading, they give you better gas mileage and better performance.

Turn signal wire diagram
mikeviera replied to mikeviera's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Did all of these things happen to you, when this happened? -
Hello all, I am having an issue with my left turn signal... When i put the turn signal on it doesn't blink... When i have the lights on and turn it on the left blinker light is just lite up and the front turn signal turns off and the back turn signal is just on(no blinking)... the front turn signal, when on (lights off) is very dim.... I turned on the flashers and they all blink, but the front left is still dimmer then the others... :hmm: I have seen other topics about this same issue, but never saw any resolution.... :fs1: I have the Chilton book... looked through it, but can't find any blinker wire diagrams... does any one know where i can get that? Or if you can offer any advise, that would be awesome! Another thing is, before the left blinker started to do this... the blinker was working, but no blinking as fast as the right blinker. truck info is in the signature thanks in advance

Before i bought the truck, I believe that it sat without being started for a year or two... It took me a bunch of money to get it back up and running.... while i had it.... i had some issues with it and took a bit for me to get to back to a good state... Now that i'm working on it and not bringing it to the shop.. I am slowly geeting her back to 100%... I would think that it would be gummed up, just from that bit of history that i know about it... I will go and pick up some B12 Chemtool and give that a try... thanks for your help.... Here is my WIP viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23458
