we are still looking for codes or for it to stall at random again since a different fuel was put in. so far all has been good. he was having a terrible time with the previous gas - and it was only a gallon or two at that low. since he put another brand in and more than 1 gallon of it it hasnt happened again. the other day it stalled about 20 times for no apparent reason. i am leaning on a combination of bad and/or low fuel. that is im hoping thats what it was. im still currious about the pcv valve on the right head rattleing when the motor is turned off. i drove that truck for 7 years and never notice that. i put in a new pcv valve and that too is ratteling. the left side doesnt rattle - only the right side and only when the engine is reved up then let go of the throttle or when the engine is shut off quick decelleration. the pcv valve hose right side only goes from the pcv valve straight into the side of the intake and no place else. what would cause it to rattle like that .

frank will wrote how about leaving tubes a and b open to the atmosphere would there be a difference in the heights of the mercury in the tubes you draw this one. frank will frank321@verizon.net wrote i assumed both tubes vented to air. looks like they do nothing says they dont. if water is rapidly pumped through the main tube its pressure will be high as compared to the air why which means that it will look for any exit point the venturi will lower the pressure thus higher in a than in b seemed like the correct answer its a carburetor. b sucks gas unless the float bowls empty. then it sucks air. an interesting experiment would be to fill the system with mercury make sure that tubes a and b were over 33 inches long cap tubes a and b and ensure that the main tube had a reservoir at least 33 inches high. the level of the mercury in tubes a and b and the main reservoir open to the atmosphere should be the same. then turn on the pump and measure the height of the mercury in tubes a b and the main reservoir. i guess that the level in tube a would drop the level in b would drop more that in a and the main reservoir would rise. beryl terrapin@coolbits.net wrote fmb wrote beryl terrapin@coolbits.net wrote frank will wrote why is it too bad they changed the question instead of changing the answer its an easy one now nothing special about it. what do you think about question 44 with the water rising higher in tube a or b i think that tube b will suck air. iirc the answer they wanted was something like water in a would rise higher than b which would be correct even if b was sucking air. i also think b would suck air as that is how an in-line foam eductor is designed not to suck air but foam concentrate. if water is pumped rapidly through the pipe as shown it will rise higher in tube a than in tube b higher in tube b than in tube a in tube a only in tube b only |a| |b| | | | | | || | -- -- / i answered in tube a only and got it wrong. its like the vacuum apparatus we used in chemistry lab. always bothered me to watch that water go right down the drain. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aspirator .

while there is the possibility of it just being bad fuel a more likely cause would be a failing fuel pump which could also be caused by bad fuel. a vacuum leak unless it is massive normally results in a high idle speed which will set a code after a while. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving good point. that may explain the pcv valve rattling when the motor is shut off. i would figure that a vacuum leak would cause codes though. maybe not in this case. it hasnt stalled since i told him to buy better gas and more of it. still waiting to hear from him for tonight though. this just started happening. 1998 dodge dakota v8 5.2l auto 98k miles driving along then let off the gas. rpms drop to near zero then come back to life engine stalls. also random stalling at stop lights/signs or during low speeds with next to no acceleration. no codes showing. also noticed that the right side pcv valve rattles and/or it sounds like a rattling or a little motor winding down towards the rear of the engine. i felt the pcv valve when the engine was turned off and it did rattle. i replaced the pcv valve today and the same thing is happening- rattling when motor is revved up then let go of throttle or shutting the engine off. i cant seem to make it happen either. it does it at random. clues suggestions vacuum leaks .
