Q: did she have a fuel pressure check done on it yes she did. im not sure of the reading but was told it was fine -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my wife 2000 ram 4x4 with a 360. it will not start in wet weather. she has changed the cam sensor cap and rotor the crank position sensor was changed a year ago. ive suggested she try plugs and wires but she claims that they are good. dont ask how she knows any suggestions. she had a scan tool on it and said that told her to change the cam sensor but she doesnt know the specific codes anymore. .

will any timing light work or does it need to be fairly new mine is probably 30 years old. we have checked for arching though. i dont know if it makes a differnce but the truck was actually manufactored on dec 1999. then the next step is to put a timing light on it and make sure that it is getting spark and that it is firing properly. you might also want to crank it at night and look for any arcing especially from the coil wire. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving did she have a fuel pressure check done on it yes she did. im not sure of the reading but was told it was fine -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my wife 2000 ram 4x4 with a 360. it will not start in wet weather. she has changed the cam sensor cap and rotor the crank position sensor was changed a year ago. ive suggested she try plugs and wires but she claims that they are good. dont ask how she knows any suggestions. she had a scan tool on it and said that told her to change the cam sensor but she doesnt know the specific codes anymore. .

funny how back in the 70s i had a 71 ford torino gt351 cleveland factory holley 4 barrel with vacuum secondaries and stock off the lot it got 28 miles to the gallon on the highway and in those days i rarely dropped below 90. my dad told me i was lying until he and i drove it to miami one week. he hasnt stopped talking about that car since. after the octane dropped below 100 it wasnt drivable so i sold it. ky joe cool wrote i have a 97 dodge dakota i installed dual exhaust and was wanting to know if anyone knew of some simple power mods that can be done to give my weak 3.9 a little more power i saw a spacer that goes between the air intake and the intake manifold in summit catalog that claims a power increase has anyone in here ever installed one of those and recieved the claimed power increase would a hotter ignition coil help maybe thanks ! the air spacer doesnt work. ive never seen a single dyno sheet that proves it. theres no fuel in that area so all it does is change the air flow. in the old days - carb days - getting more power from a stock engine was pretty simple. the factory has a very conservative tune so you just made it more aggressive. add timing add fuel. that has to be done by reprogramming the computer. check with jet and hypertech. moving the air in and out better is usually worth something. the factory exhaust is pretty good. after market systems will improve power at the top end. but you dont get a lot of nag for the buck there. a cold air induction is actually worth some power. the factory intake is kinda restrictive. a drop in k&n air filter wont help at all though. another tried and true method is changing the rocker arms to a bigger ratio. increasing the rocker arm ratio is like adding a slightly bigger cam. all magnum engines use the same design rocker arm. the 3.9 5.2 and 5.9 use exactly the same parts. but the v-10 uses a longer ratio. swap in the v-10 parts and gain some noticeable power. i have a set for my 5.9 sitting in the garage waiting for me to install them. dont forget the non-engine improvements - lower gear ratio lower weight better aerodynamics low drag tires. -- .bob 2006 fxdi hot rod 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .

on tue 7 aug 2007 154745 -0400 tom lawrence tnooms4p8a8m@meimnbgaarlqlmoawield.com wrote trying to figure out what the hell is going on. i know there can be a lot of factors but i have to start at group and work up the ac is the most likely culprit but dont overlook other things. a little clamp-on ammeter can help you diagnose things. for example a friend of mine had a bill one month double his previous months bill... turned out he had a bad dehumidifer where the humidostat went on it causing it to run all the time. turn off everything in the house that you can and check your run-rate on your meter hopefully you have one of the newer meters with digital readouts so you can get a base kw/hr number. then kick the cac on and see what its drawing - see if that jives with the data plates on the compressor and air handlers. i remember back in ca where electricity is more expensive than diamonds we were spending about $25 a month more than the average in the neighborhood though we conserve and most there didnt... we replaced a 5 or 6 year old energy star refrigerator with a slightly larger one and our electricity bill went down over $90 a month... paid for the damn frig in less than a year! now were bitching about running the ac a lot and having to pay $125 for electricity last month... almost like living in a foreign country! $125.00 huh you suck! - -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
