Not a cloud in the sky and the birds are singing. Finally got the lift on, then had the tires mounted; and cruised over to a buddy's house to 'show off' (he's got a Jeep). Anyways, cruising home and it just dies. Starting to drizzle. No noises, no warning, chugging or anything. Got pulled over and first checked for spark, which was surprisingly strong. Drizzle turns to rain. Got towed home, checked for fuel pressure. Nothing, "0" pressure. First thought's a fuel pump, but PO just changed it. I just changed the filter. Decided to sleep on it. Got up, installed RAVE, and began searching for "something". Tracing the schematic, looks like bat--fuses--relay--inertia switch--pump. So checked power to fuses, good; then power to inertia switch since it's easy access, nothing. Pull off R. lower kick panel and pull relay. Power to relay through both 30 (WP wire) and 86 (WG wire), so I'm thinking relay, but they're usually pretty robust. Anyways, jumper from 30 to 87a (2WP wires) gives me power to inertia switch and I assume pump, but still no fuel pressure. Jumper from 30 to 87a AND 87b (2WO wires, going to O2 sensors) produces nothing. Well, now I'm scratching my head and can't really find in RAVE how to properly diagnos the fuel system. Any advise you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. I hesitate to take it to a shop as I "need" to know how to fix my junk, especially on the trail. Besides, there's not many Rover repair facilities in WY  . Couple other things worth mentioning, -2wks ago it just died at a stoplight, but started right up. -last week it died but re-surfaced by fluttering the go peddle. -related issues? I hope so. I hate having ghosts. Also, kinda low on cash, but I'd GLADLY trade diagnostic help for custom welding and fab or concrete work. |
