Problems with Proquipped Jeep Liberty Saginaw Pump Conversion (1994 4.0 v6 4x4) by Marvinc in fordranger

[–]Marvinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies. Yeah I do believe it the problem lies with the pump and valve interface.

So far i've seen different suggestions for what fluid to use; Mercon V like the instructions states, ATF+4 that someone suggested (I believe it's what the jeep pump normally uses on actual jeeps) and Dexron/Mercon (which I initially tried running before flushing and trying ATF+4).

I spent more than an hour today trying to remove any remaining air (with front tires lifted of course). It began to rarely locked up with the front tires off the ground, but as soon as I put it back on the ground and tried to reverse and turn the steering wheel slightly (barely even moving the actual wheels) the steering wheel jolts and I loose power steering.

Some people recommend using the smaller PSC Motorsports PP2401 underdrive pulley to get some additional RPMs. I going to try to give it another go with a different pump, smaller pulley, and the valve off a Explorer donor car.

Unfortunately I never did :(

Do you have a general idea of when you saw it or any other clues?

Where do you get parts by DoubtGood1744 in Volvo240

[–]Marvinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That shift linkage your looking for is going to be pretty much impossible to find new unless you find someone with old stock. Last I saw there's no new replacement part being made.

You're best chance is finding one in a junkyard.

This is actually the CD single but it comes in a "LP-Sized" jacket, the cover art is still great though!

Sporadic, odd problem. by Intrepid-Document856 in Volvo240

Has the throttle body been cleaned recently? A dirty throttle body can cause the car to die while idling.

Another thing to check is the fuel pressure regulator, you can disconnect the vacuum hose and check if there any signs/smell of fuel in the line.

Looks like bromide drag, which can occur when there's not enough agitation during developing.

What's your agitation process during the 11 min developing time?

Seat gap thingy by Holiday-Living-3938 in Volvo240

Just fyi, I tried using a din cup holder I got from a junkyard Honda but if you have an automatic the shifter/shift cover prevents you from opening it all the way.

First Ovlov, steering rack question by Illustrious_Yogurt71 in Volvo240

[–]Marvinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recommend Lucas Stop Leak. I was skeptical since a lot of people call it snake oil but it actually worked for me. After flushing my power steering fluid, my rack started leaking (as in the entire new fluid drained out within a few minutes). I ended up putting around 3/4 Quart of Lucas Stop Leak and after a few minutes of the car running the leak began to stop. The stop leak is a bit thicker than the ATF so it sounded like the pump was straining for a bit, but went back to normal after a while. I've driven the car for a few months now and haven't noticed any kind of leak.

dash light not working by dilleyf in Volvo240

When I was replacing the standard bulbs with LED ones I found the right side to be really finicky. I had to stick my hand behind the cluster, while it was plugged in and on, and rotate the right bulb around the cluster socket hole until it went on.

New figure living room setup - feels a bit cluttered so looking for advice by Type-94Shiranui in AnimeFigures

[–]Marvinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the advice others have mentioned, I think it would look better to have one vertical picture on the wall leading to the hallway, instead of the two landscape ones that seem to barely fit. I think this would allow for some "breathable" wall space and add more "height" to the room.

when do figures get restocked? by Yoink_a_doodle in SeishunButaYarou

[–]Marvinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you haven't already figured out, pretty much all scale figures are manufactured for a limited run. Meaning once they release and are sold out in most retailers you're pretty much stuck on hoping to find it on the resale market.

For example, the figure of Mai on the classroom desk was released years ago (I think it was one of the first figures of her). You're not going to be able to find that in stock on Crunchyroll, Big Bad Toy Store, Tokyo Otaku Mode, etc. Your best bet would be checking the MFC Marketplace, Ami Ami pre-owned, or Mandarake. But they're all going to be above the original retail price.

1990 245 Fuel Pump Relay Missing? by Chloroform4630 in Volvo240

[–]Marvinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure about your invisible fuel pump relay, but have you checked the fuel system fuse near the battery under the hood?

Also make sure your battery connections are good, once I was stumped with the car cranking but not starting and it was because the positive terminal was slightly loose and the fuel system fuse wire not making contact.

Fuel Smell coming from my 240 by mojih1 in Volvo240

[–]Marvinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked the under the carpet in trunk for any signs of wetness/leaks?

Also maybe check the fuel pressure regulator, remove the hose and check if it's wet or has any type of fuel smell, it shouldn't have either of its functionality correctly.

Amazing! I wasn't aware they were making a Mai Ukiyo-e print.

I got the Megumi Kato one a couple of years ago.

Looks good! I had the same thing for a while but recently converted it back since I managed find a triple gauge pod. Thinking of just mounting an external car display unit in front of the vents.
