Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
And now I've snapped the CCV outtake elbow. Am I snapping all these
plastic parts because it's too cold or are they just old? The Merg wrote: > Hey guys, > I used a mechanical gauge, it has pressure.

Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
Yeah, the throttle body was removed and thoroughly cleaned, new gasket.
I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think it's gotten worse since the throttle body was cleaned. But I've done so many other things since then, I can't really tie it to one thing that I've done. I probably should have warmed it up, but I don't like the way it's running so I don't want to run it too long. Earle Horton wrote: > Both.

Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
Both. Warm up the engine next time, and then work the part out gently. The
rubber grommet is probably hard as a rock too. Maybe heat will soften it up. Clean the throttle body and idle passage yet?

Did you clean the shaft on the Idle Air Control motor? You might try unplugging the IAC and see if it makes any difference. If not, that's your problem. When I first got my MJ I had idle problems that improved a little with each fix until a new O2 sensor cleared the last bit of roughness. AH! just hit me - that sounds like what I got with a failing fuel pump - I was losing pressure after it started - but even with added throttle mine would die pretty quickly. -- Will Honea <whonea@yahoo.com> |
