Jeep Driver Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Check the vacuum like to the MAP sensor. Check your other vacuum lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cade leach Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 i checked the vacuum lines, still have the problem. i recently replaced a lot of my vacuum lines this problem didn't start until right after i changed the valve cover gasket and injector O-rings. is it possible that because of the gas leak the engine was over compensating for the leak by sending extra fuel to the engine, but now that it is fixed the computer is still sending too much fuel? thus flooding the engine while idling?

Knucklehead97 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Have you checked your catylitic converter? (sorry if thats spelled wrong) when I got my truck it did that and it ended up being because of the convertor being broken and not allowing air flow, thus making it stall when there isnt something forcing it to breath.

HOrnbrod Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The Renix computer resets every time you turn the IGN key to OFF. Unhooking the battery cables does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
