Well this has been kinda a tricky one so maybe someone has some ideas for me.
89 cherokee renix and so on
About a year ago when I was about to rebuild my motor the jeep would die right after I fire it up. THought it was a fuel pump so I did that at same time as motor along with mustang injectors and fuel filter. A month after the motor swap, with no issues, I fired it up and it proceeded to do same thing. Would fire up fine and then die. Troubleshooting led me to think it was bad fuel pump relay swapped in a new one and for a couple miles it was solid then died. Did some searching which let me to the ballast resistor so I just elminated it for a little test and vechicle never died again. So i replaced the factory one with a new 1.1 ohm or whatever that thing is rated for and tested it out. Same thing on fire up. So now I am running without the thing. My fuel pump is a bit noisy like I guess it should be and I havent had any issues since but I dont like leaving a problem unsolved. Any ideas? Also can I run without this resistor or am I doing myself damage?
