Hey all,
I was out wheeling at night and all was good. Once we got back on the pavement I tried pushing on the gas to accelerate up to speed (55mph) and it wouldn't do it. I pushed harder on the gas, and the engine's RPMs didn't respond at all. Didn't notice ANY problems on the "trails", but as soon as we got to pavement, it acted up.
I eventually got it to the wheeler's house and parked it for a few hours after switching relays and having it run fine.
On the way back, it started giving out. I'd push the gas and either nothing would happen or it'd chug. It was fine while coasting most of the time. Pulled over and switched to a different relay. Didn't fix it.
Any ideas?
From other forums I was thinking either Fuel Pressure Regulator or the Fuel Pump. Both the Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump were replaced a year or two ago (Less than 15,000 miles).
It's currently parked a block (downhill) from my house, so some quick help would be awesome. Don't want it towed to an impound lot (again). It stalled barely off the road. It would start... chug... and die after several seconds of 'feathering' the gas pedal to try and get it going.
I don't have a Fuel Pressure Gauge. The Fuel Pump still appears to prime when the key is turned on... but doesn't appear to be as loud as it previously was. Before I could hear it prime from inside, now I can only hear it if I have my head under the exploder.
FYI: I have a 1994 Exploder 4.0L V6 4x4
