Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? If not, get one from CJM.

:iagree:

Ordered the system Solidus recommended for pressurizing. Working on Fuel Pressure.

Stupid question time....

Are the hoses from the intercooler and the turbo held on by hose clamps or are they friction fit? I looked at the pictures here and on several others, and I don't know if I saw hose clamps (probably too many pics and not enough coffee).


It almost sounds like a hose is pinched or has come loose.

T-clamps. But tightening the clamps is tricky as I found with my pressure guage. You think you made it tight as hell but under pressure you find out you need a couple more ugga duggas. A couple stood out. The throttle bodies, lower intercooler inlet and that pain in the A$$ that goes by the steering knuckle. As I sit here right now I'm hashing out how I'm going to manage to do Van Jen clamps to forget about tightening forever.

Yeah that one by the steering knuckle can lick my taint

What kind of pressure gauge did you use?

The one I got came with a pressure guage. I'm gonna assume you're just as much if not more of a mechanic impersonator as I am and you have at least a 5 gallon compressor in your fake shop. When you start finding leaks you feel like a world champion investigator till the pump kicks in and you can't hear shat anymore.

JARblue 02-24-2020 08:36 PM

What did you do to that poor quickjack?

Misunderstood what you meant. I'm fortunate in that my false persona has an 80 gallon compressor.

Pressure is stuck in the lines according to the manual. It requires a call to tech support to resolve. If I'd realized it was happening, the proper procedure is to lower the QJ completely to relax the pressure. Unfortunately since I can't connect to it, I also can't lower it.
