After a few trial runs, she started acting weird. She sputtered and cliked on and off the ECM control relay.

Pulled out the ECM, checked the 3rd cap for leakage, and decided to change that one as well.

She's been idling for about 15 min. now without as much as a stutter. I resoldered the weak and dirty spots, and fixed the hanging cap with a dab of silicone. Hopefully it'll last.

Just so y'all know, this is her 2nd engine. The first died at 168K mi., and a friend rebuilt the tranny in Dec. 2008., so that kinda tells you how much I love her.

If the ECM keeps working, I'm gonna treat her to new tires, body and susp lift, snorkel and basket.


Wow, sounds like you've found your true love. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Don't worry. I'm not laughing at you. I'm swimming in the same boat you are! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Glad to hear she's running better and you cleaned up the joint and supported the cap.
