I would for sure get a fuel pressure reading to start with, that way he doesnt burn up that IP. If you dont hear the LP, chances are thats whats wrong. but just a guess, thats where i would start. keep us posted!!

GottSoot · 01-13-2007, 10:56 AM

When was the last time the filter was changed? might be something to look at also.

Open a few injector lines that enter the head and crank the engine, hopefully you will have fuel coming from the line. Be careful there can be a lot of pressure that will spray out of there.

The cycling the key does not work on '98.5 or '99s. You need to have the codes read or some parts stores will loan the scanner with a deposit. Sounds like a failed VP44 though. He needs gauges if he's going to run bombed!

but if there were any codes the superchips would have read them.

OK. I know nothing about Superchips ability to read codes. So if no codes thrown, what's his problem? Unless it's a fuel supply/quality problem I would think there would be a code. I'm doubting the Superchips ability, but I'm certainly no expert, especially on 24 valves and Superchips.

Sounds like you ran out of fuel and need to bleed the lines for air.

i guess i will try to bleed the lines but will the vp44 pump fuel if its bad......and what do yall thank about a shade tree tring to replace it with the right tool or should i leave it up to dodge
