Q: what purpose would doing this really serve while the spray may indicate pressure it will give you no value of how much pressure especially spraying into and under a rag or valid flow amount this way and you still risk damaging the port. ok let me state this more plainly than i did before since it obviously escaped you. it didnt escape me it is just pure bullshit. using a guage would be the proper way to do this test. however lacking that the tip of a screw driver can be used to ascertain if pressure exists. of course pressure exists or the engine wouldnt run at all. the pressure might be zero if the engine hasnt run for a while and that is considered normal according to the fsm depending on conditions but once again you know better right!! what really matters is how much pressure and at what rate of flow with the engine running and neither can be validly tested with your poke the damn valve with a pin procedure. there is a minimal chance of damage unless you are a hamfisted brute with no sense of force. minimal is not zero and if it is damaged then the vehicle becomes completely unusable and for no valid reason at all. and you can guarantee this will you offer to pay for a new fuel rail if he damages it with your method or a new vehicle if he catches it on fire yeah i can guarantee this. seen it done so many times it would boggle your mind. so that means that your checkbook is open then right no the first rule is to do no harm. nope thats some other philosophy like the hippocratic oath or the prime directive. sorry maxi but it holds true here as well. offering bad advice like you are doing helps nobody. giving him bad advice on how to test for pressure could get him hurt damage the rail or at worst get him killed and or destroy the vehicle. the manual has specific warning about doing crap like this and i think that they know just a little bit more about it than you. the manual has a specific warning about a port that you claim they say may not even exist yep. and it is not me that says it may not exist that would be dodge and the fsm and btw mine doesnt have one and i would bet that the ops doesnt either. it has no such warning in my 2000 fsm. sure it does you just are unable to understand what it is saying to you. playing games like this requires experience and i dont know if the op has it do you um yeah i think he has experience unscrewing a cap and pushing a pin valve. its not too much different than putting air in a tire. lol and do you fill your tires with fuel and at 60lbs. we are talking about dealing with fuel under pressure and the components of a fuel injection system not abusing a test port that probably doesnt exist on his vehicle anyway. well my fsm has instructions and several pictures showing exactly how its done. now if the same design was in use as early as 94 i dont know and i wrote as much. well i do and it wasnt. terrific you know everything i should have figured you would know this as well. yes you should have especially since i own a vehicle very similar to his unlike you who does not. i also both own the fsm for a 97 same basic series as his and replaced the pump in mine and if it was possible and easier to just replace the filter and regulator i would have suggested it in my list of things to do but until he sees the actual pressure and flow amount replacing it is just blindly throwing money at the problem. i felt it was worth mentioning given the age of the vehicle. if you dont like it that i mentioned it go whine to someone who cares. perhaps a micron of research would have told you that it was not worth mentioning because those procedures cannot be done to his system and the only one whining in here is you. there are several sources on the net where an fsm for this truck can be purchased. limiting a search to the dealer network would be foolish. i never said anything different but dodge will be of no help here. i never said he had to buy it from dodge. but you didnt say he shouldnt either and if you know that dodge probably doesnt sell it anymore you might have pointed out a possible place to get one but then again we both know that you didnt post to actually try and help the op just another childish attempt to start crap with me. lol what a case of pkb here maxi. you have offered nothing of and added value here only to try and contradict what i have said. yup you are truly a schmuck. try reading what i said instead of disagreeing with me and then repeating what i said. i did and you said nothing of value. you mentioned taping a pin into a test port that probably doesnt exist on his vehicle which would be dangerous and provide nothing of value and then suggested replacing the filter / regulator without removing the pump which is not possible on his vehicle. other than to try and contradic

ive tried it several times and always got a kinda of foggy trail behind the wiper blades if i had to use them 30 mph doesnt blow the water off like 140 does or they just plain smear and dont wipe well. yes i followed the instructions on the bottle instead of waiting like you did. and it hard to remove once its on. budd sticking to good old synthetic rubber windsheild wipers denny wrote rscamaro wrote on fri 06 jan 2006 215832 -0500 the nolalu barn owl wrote on fri 6 jan 2006 132146 -0600 simms bike werks jon@simmsbikewerks.com wrote very easy to use unlike our competitors your windows do not have to = be clean and dry to apply. simply put 1oz of the super concentrated rain repel in the windshield washer reservoir and fill with your favorite windshield wash that it! water just beads up and blows off as you drive. repels rain sleet and snow safe for use on glass plastic plexiglass and lexon http//www.s =3dsnipped url cant see through the beads of water. thats why i use wipers. there is a sucker born every minute. although it very well may be that a sucker is born every minute i say the rain-x is a great chemical to use. much easier to see under downpour conditions less wear on the wipers and visibility is greatly increased in rain and snow conditions. oh yea and you can buy it in gallon jugs of premixed solution to put directly into your washer reservoir. the downside is at night in inclement weather under street lamps. when the light beam is 90=ba to the windshield you may experience a glare caused by the single beads of water/snow. ...ron -- 68rs camaro 88formula 00gt mustang personally i just keep my wipers in excellent condition no beads no droplets just clear windshield. oh and no silicone smears if i do use my wipers. vbg budd ive used rain-x for years and i think the stuff is great. put it on when the temps are above approx 60 degrees walk away from it for at least a couple of hours and then wipe it off with a micro fibre towel. i dont notice the glare the other poster is talking about and its much easier to see thru when its raining. =20 denny .
