    Exaust "snorkel"?

    The tail pipe snorkel is the one I am interested in, though the intake snorkel has a neat look to it, I like driving through deep water, heck I have a tendency to MAX out my Jeep (really), It is no wonder I cracked my exaust manifold. Now I am facing a huge amount of $$$ since my mechanic says...

    My Jeep Wrangler Bogging, sputtering and losing acceleration

    My fuel is good. I have a feeling it is an electrical issue regarding the o2 or something related, it is just way to sporatic and random, but when the proble happens, I have to like rev the engine just to get it to move and it bucks and gurgles then lunges forward and loses acceleration and over...

    My Jeep Wrangler Bogging, sputtering and losing acceleration

    I have not noticed any weather related issues or if it happens more in a certain type of weather. The thing is I had a mechanic deter me from doing the O2 sensor,, because he said it plays no role in the type of problems my jeep is having ( I think he was bs.'ing me), I now have the feeling he...

    No gas getting to engine

    Now at the point where I turn the key and it starts for like 3 to 5 seconds and as soon as I hit the gas pedal, bang it dies. I can hear the intake when I hit the pedal it sounds like it is suffocating - Carb is burping etc.

    fuel tank problem

    I recently took my tank out and just put it back in recently - I found it to be extremly easy - There were no straps to mess with, just appx 6 bolts. 20 mins on the way out and 20 putting it back. Contrary to my belief the straps simply fix it to a steel plate that wraps around the bottom and...

    I am headed out to look into the wires right now. In regard to the fuel rail, nothing is coming out. If I pour a drop of gas in the Carb. it runs for a few seconds. Nick thanks again, I am going to investigate the wire hook ups from the alarm under the dash and I keep you posted.

    No gas getting to engine

    Hey Nick - No I did'nt hear anything form the New fuel pump or the old Fuel pump. I'll check the relay, I always had a feeling that something electrical was playing a role, maybe it is a damaged wire. I'll pick up a test light this evening. That will work to check for power right? Worth...
