i dont really have that venturi type vacuum port. Mayb i should use and hook into the pcv valve port. that vacuum is only pulled one way from top of valve cover and then to intake manifold. I did a web search and they say hook into pcv line
what do you think about e3 i dont think they are platinum or iridium right |
I couldn't find out on their site either whether they were coated or tipped with platinum, iridium or unobtanium.
PCV line will be okay, will just tend to lose flow during large throttle openings, but it won't take much pressure in the cell to push it in (Unless you fit a turbo) and at least it won't build up anywhere if you have to idle. |
I'm sure your Jeep will retard timing if it detects knock but there is a point of no return. The computer is only programmed to retard so much and if you force the timing out of specification enough that maximum retard can be well above where timing should be.
How did you gap the e3 plugs? They have a tri-pod electrode configuration that doesn't allow for traditional gaping. As for the transmission, check out the owners manual for towing. The tracker manual said the automatic could be flat towed with the auto in neutral at 55mph if you started the engine and let it idle in neutral for a minute or so every 150-200 miles. That car EOC on the freeway was no problem. |

All that farting around and it's still 16% BELOW EPA.
Cars, trucks, whatever... I've always been able to beat EPA handily. So much for those "mods". Just learn how to drive the thing sensibly. |
Or simply show me the same mid 90's jeep cherokee that gets better mpg and i'll shut my mouth.
All my driving is city no highway. EPA was 12 i am 23 -25mpg. So when i bought the jeep starting at 12 2 years ago i guess its all driving that got me to 25 on my best day i dont think so. |
If I want to waste my time I'll stop by... unless you have a cold one handy.
WTH are you doing in a Jeep in the city anyway? |

He went from 16% under EPA yesterday to 2% above after reading my post today... AMAZING!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
I'm the best fuel economy mod he's got!!! LOL Anyway, I'd like to tap into Justin's mechanical expertise on working ho ho ho systems, since roadwarrior keeps coming up "short". |
So much anger! :eek: Strike a nerve???
