Nice!
Well, last week I was on vacation. Had a great time at the beach with my family and it was also my first time with more than 3 days off in over 2 years. Had to buy 2 tires for my car, a vacuum pump for my truck, and a bunch of parts for my Jeep. Then I bought another Jeep... I'm running out of money and patience for having 3 vehicles.
The Jeep eluded me. Something is dropping the ASD relay and turning the fuel pump off. I don't have enough time to sit there and trace wires all day so it's at a shop where they can mess with it. Still strange it does it in drive only. I can make it die in neutral but it's still related to stalling from being in drive.
Not necessarily because I'm putting it in drive but something somewhere drops the ASD which drops the fuel pump. Even once it dies sometimes the fuel pump won't run for 2 seconds when the key is in "run" so something is holding it from being energized. I've swapped all the relays I have with new ones. Multimeter and another set of hands helped me find that much.
Came out in 3rd place. Not good enough to take home the prize money, but still pretty good considering I was the only jeep, the rest were big full size pickups, and I had the smallest tires of any vehicle competing. Got stopped by a snapped axle shaft about 5 seconds after this picture.
Then went out and beat the jeep up some more on another trail, got a flat tire and the front end was making a lot of noises, so called it a night.
