    questions about engine popping

    I replaced the plenum gasket along with the intake gaskets and my problem seems to have gotten worse. Forgot to check the plugs but doesn't anyone else have any ideas what might be causing this? About to just give up cut my losses and sell the thing.

My ideas on this is fouled spark plugs or bad wires because I never did chance them. what are your guys thoughts? hoping to...

    setting fuel timing

    Ok I have a small mechanic shop here in my town that I'm going to take it to because I'm pretty sure he has the computer. I just don't want to have to trailer it anywhere because after it warms up it wont run with a shit.

    setting fuel timing

    I tried to set my fuel timing buy following the information in the link below. After fallowing his directions exactly to a "T" it didn't seem to change a thing. With the volt meter connected to negative and number 3 pin on the camshaft sensor set it to like .2 volts. According to the guys link...

    engine sputtering and popping

    How do I do that? Seems like if it was bad fuel sync it would pop and sputter all the time not just after warming up

    engine sputtering and popping

    Ya the intake manifold from the old motor has oil sitting in it so I know that gasket was bad. The new used motor I put in it didnt have any in it. But If I keep this truck long I will replace it before long. I usually just buy a truck fix some stuff on it drive it for a bit and then sell it.

    engine sputtering and popping

    I'm guessing it its the factory cat and the old motor I pulled out of it had over 200k miles so I'm guessing that its got alot of carbon built up over the 15 years its been running. But ill try the sensor tomorrow just to be 100% sure its the cat. Thanks for all the help. And ill keep you guys...

    engine sputtering and popping

    so I let it warm up in my driveway and after it got to operating temp. I left it in park and it revved up to 3000 rpm just fine. I took it out and drove it and after a few minutes it started popping again. I drove it back home and put it back into park and it wouldn't rev up to 3000 rpm anymore...

    engine sputtering and popping

    engine sputtering and popping

    1998 Transmission lockup

    im not a transmission expert but I would say that if its locking and unlocking around 45-60 it could be overdrive going out or your torque converter. Try shutting overdrive off on the end of the shifter and driving it. Will pull more RPM's at that speed but if it handles that speed without...

    crankshaft sensor

    idk if the 02 sensors are actually the cause but they have 200k+ miles on them so im going to replace them anyway. I know after I put the new motor in that I didn't have the coil wire routed right and it got up against the exhaust manifold and melted though the cover. I just rerouted it and left...

    crankshaft sensor

    I just now realized why the sensors went bad. After putting the new used motor in a ran two cans of sea foam,m. Not realizing that it probably wasn't the best idea at the time so in guessing that's why the sensors went bad.

    Can't fine where connector goes

    I found out its the crankshaft position sensor. the sensor goes through the bell housing on the passenger side of engine. it has a wire that goes and connects to that wire

    Can't fine where connector goes

    ok kinda what I was thinking. I don't have any spark so I was thinking it might have to do with that connector but guess not. have any good tips for trouble shooting no spark?

    Can't fine where connector goes

    I have a 2000 dodge 1500 360 and I just put a new used engine in it. I have everything connected my one plug and can't fine where it goes. Can anyone help? It's on the drivers side right next to the farthest back fuel injector. The plug isn't very long as it has to connect somewhere close but I...

    heads wont come off

    Didn't figure it would be worth much. Transmission was just rebuilt I have a receipt for that. I'm just going to go to a junk yard and get an engine. Might replace all the gaskets before I put it in so its done.
