Starting/Fuel Mileage prob
got the gasket replaced.....wires, rotor, and cap......couldnt find a kit with the new pan so i just got the gaskets for now and replaced them.......It runs like a top......Im gonna replace the cat as soon as i get the money.....One problem tho.....the guy that helped me broke the plastic piece that connects the cable goin down the back of the motor to the throttle......Idk where to get another.....nobody has one......truck is hunting for gears right now until i can get that one piece.....otherwise shes good to go.......thanks a bunch guys i really appreciate it
zip tie wont hold.....the plastic piece keeps slipping off.......im guessing it goes down to the tranny.......Got one on the way from the dealership....$50 but atleast it will be shifting right again......Spose to be here friday or monday.........Starting the whole take longer to start thing again.....I have no idea how to check the fuel pressure regulator so if anyone can point me in the right direction.....Btw....new fuel pump bout 4,000 miles ago so i hope its not the prob.....thanx
Ok, got that new cable in.....it shifts kinda hard and likes the lower gears but im guessing thats because the cable is new and just needs to be used and broke in and then it will go back to normal.........Still taking quite abit longer to start.....Can anyone point me in the direction of the Fuel Pressure Sensor or whatever it might be? thanx
And as far as the hard starting goes it is usually the fuel pressure regulator . But can also be leaking injectors. You need to do a fuel pressure leak down test by isolating the the regulator from the injectors .
The correct way to adjust the cable is so that the TV cable and the throttle cable both move at exactly the same time. Grab a hold of the throttle mechanism and work it very slowly back and forth and watch both cable ends, when the TV cable and throttle cable both move at exactly the same time. you've got it. There is only a 1 mm +/- tolerance for this.
