Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Afc question

[yenga80]

Well today I tested my fuel pressure. I was able to source a liquid filled pressure gauge locally and put together a hose and fittings attached to the banjo bolt on the injection pump. Instructions on the FAQ page. It appears my lift pump is okay as idle pressures were around 20. Didn't get a chance to test wot pressures but will check another time. I'm going to add a needle valve as readings were jumping all over and I don't want to damage the gauge as I've read it's happened to others.

no need to drive it for the initial wot test-do it in nuetral,then pinch off the return line(only during quick test) to get those results also

Absolutely, You'd be suprised at how many DODGE mechanics over the years didn"t know about the pre-filter when I took it to the dealer, when I was on the road cause I was too lazy to change the the filter !!!! Anyway, I got tired of messin' with it so I installed a 5 mic racor filter before the pre- filter, deleted the in-tank fuel filter, and picked up a little MPG, but I still have to change out injectors as I suspect leaking to really tell, I'll see if I can attach the picures w/ this reply

The big filter is pre-tank fitler from my in-bed auxillary tank

Well finally took the afc off today to put the star wheel back in the window under the plug. The star wheel was all the way against the back ( screwed all the way in). Also discovered I have a #6 tst plate not an eight.
