86 ramcharger HELP! (Page 2/5) carnut122 JUN 11, 10:13 AM quote Originally posted by zetabird: oh and do any dodge gurus wanna take a shot at iding some of these there the only non new electrical components I have no clue what those components are. Do you have a Haynes manual for the Ramcharger? Do you have another Ramcharger buddy close by? I bought my truck from a Honda mechanic that bought a non-running vehicle by taking a similar running vehicle with him and swapping components until he got it running. I wouldn't hack up the exhaust. Some have checked for plugged cats buy removing O2 sensors. zetabird JUN 11, 10:57 AM truck dosent have 02s, the only emissions thing it has are the cats and an egr, there is one dodge guy i need to talk to localy but havent got a chance hes kinda reclusive. looks like thouse are all egr elated moduals dunno tho. and honestly every ignition component is new... tesmith66 JUN 11, 12:57 PM Coils get hot during use and can temporarily fail if they overheat. How's your fuel pump? Put a fuel pressure gauge on it and watch what happens when it dies. Make sure the gauge stays on the outside of the truck in case it leaks. Did you replace the fuel filter? How's the strainer in the tank? Is the tank venting properly (drive it with the cap loose and see what happens)? Is the float bowl vent in the carb plugged? How's the needle and seat? Fuel line kinked anywhere? Any rust holes letting air into the fuel line? Vapor lock? Is the fuel line really close to the exhaust anywhere? Can you tell I think it may be a fuel problem? Good luck. zetabird JUN 11, 01:12 PM its defintaly not a fuel problem that was my first thought, all fuel lines are new the caps been off for a while new fuel pump and filters the carbs freshly rebuilt and it was doing thins before and after that, it also did the same thing with my known good edlebroch off of my montecarlo on it. and the coils new aswell did the same with both carnut122 JUN 12, 06:34 PM ECM related? It warms up enough to go into closed loop mode and then it happens? zetabird JUN 13, 09:02 AM all it has that could be considered an ecm is the ignition control module but thats new as well, it was doing with the old one to tesmith66 JUN 13, 01:01 PM Clogged muffler? Maybe bad cat and muffler? Can you temporarily rig up some mufflers or straight pipes off of the manifolds to see if that clears it up? Maybe take them loose at the manifolds and blow compressed air through the tailpipe? zetabird JUN 13, 01:33 PM i guess i could try something like that ill try to get the exhaust off it this next week sometime carnut122 JUN 14, 10:36 AM quote Originally posted by zetabird: i guess i could try something like that ill try to get the exhaust off it this next week sometime Maybe just where it meets up at the exhaust manifold(s)? zetabird JUN 16, 07:39 AM ya ill see i need to pull it to change the driver side motor mount
