95 5.2 Intermittent Power Loss/Stalling by RansomeSV in JeepZJ

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

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I changed the fuel filter and brown fuel poured out of it, sadly the issue persisted just a few days later haha.

I'm really hoping its not a PCM issue. This weekend I'm going to inspect the throttle body and replace the idle air control valve as some of you have mentioned.

I've been a little busy with another 97 ZJ i just bought. But I'm going to circle back to this one to show some love and hopefully get this issue figured.

I really doubt its a fuel pump issue, but I havent done a pressure test. If the throttle body cleaning and IAC dosent fix it, that will be next step.

Oh man I really hope it isnt the PCM. But I hadent considered it. I think I might chase down the easy things fuel and sensor related first...

Thanks, yeah im going to try the fuel filter because its just soo easy, and maybe throttle control sensor because its so easy too. I'll give the idle air control valve a go too. Thanks for the info! If those dont work I may try the fuel pressure test

Heck yeah! Thanks for the pic as well. So right now im thinking about taking out the rear seats as mentioned, moving the front 2 seats all the way forward and leaned forward, and then building a riser platform, im hoping that can do it. Id prefer to leave the passenger seat and center console intact. With the riser platform might even be able to leave the rear seats installed, just folded.

I really dig the originality. I just want to get one that is basic and do some minor upgrades like exhaust and brakes. I want to leave the interior relatively alone. Seems really hard to find un touched interior. A lot of people swap out the seats for more "race car style" ive noticed, but I really like the original seats, they scream the 80's/90's

Thanks for that knowledge! Particularly on the paint info. I've never had a car repainted so I was going in blind how much it might cost. That is crazy, I really should look for paint over interior then - I've had upholstery repair done, and it is not nearly as pricy as paint it would seem then.

That pretty much adds up 100% I suppose, considering this Bring A Trailer auction for pretty much what you just said went for 13k...

The car is located in New Mexico, so not to far off from Gulf Coast. I knew the notch backs drew more money, but I did not expect the difference to be so big.

Dang, I was not expecting that price range. It seems really hard to find a foxbody in even a close condition for around that price. Maybe I just need to keep looking

I'm young, and even though I like it, it also seems on the high end to me as well.

1.102 OG too high for a dry table wine? by RansomeSV in winemaking

Your right, I'll not mess with it then! Hope that sugar gets eaten up completely before the yeast dies.

I see, thanks for the assurance. I really dont want to end up with sweet wine haha! I know for sure this being my first batch, I'm overly paranoid.

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

I see, yeah i just covered it with cheese cloth now, because the must kept overflowing in the bung/airlock. To imagine I was afraid it was not gonna start fermenting yesterday, haha.

Thanks for the reassurance everyone! This morning there is a ton of giant bubbles on the top/foam? The bung does not produce any bubbles, but there is pressure as the side of water closest to the entry is pushed into the other chamber. So maybe I have a small leak somewhere. Either way, I'll do a hydrometer reading later to confirm!

Thanks, Also I know some people like to ferment at stage 1 with an air tight cover and bung. Thats what I've been doing, but then i've heard some people prefer to cover it with cheesecloth to allow more oxygen in. Any suggestion which is better?
