Re: 88 Comanche stalling
This is an update to my stalling problem. I got a computer from a junk yard,
installed, same symptom. It really seems like it should be something simple. I
am getting 40 lbs of fuel pressure. It stays running as long as you spray carb
cleaner into the intake hose. As soon as you stop, the engine dies. It doesn't
sputter or cough, it just stops dead. My mechanic says it just looks like the
injectors are not firing. Since it runs as long as you put carb cleaner into
the input hose, I am guessing it's not electrical. This truck was running fine
before this happened, and it happened so suddenly, it just seems that it's
something simple. Thanks for all help..........Ed

Re: 88 Comanche stalling
Hi Ed,
You are spraying cleaner into the intake, that's like starter
fluid, it doesn't need a spark plug to run. Clued?

Re: 88 Comanche stalling
What was the result switching the fuel pump relay.
Cause it seems your pump isn't pumping at all.

Re: 88 Comanche stalling
There is a balllast resistor on the fuel pump power on my 88.
It is a white ceramic one out near the rad on the drivers side.
The pump also relies on the body for ground, so if the ground strap is
bad it will up and cut out.
