4JG2 fuel pump.

Post by MU31TD »

97 Jackaroo 4JG2.

Red Circle is supposedly fuel adjustment

What is this bolt circled in yellow? It is covered with aluminum (or tin) cap similarly to the fuel adjuster from factory.

Note: Old MU was smashed in an accident. NRMA wrote it off due to structural damage, but Engine was fine at the time.

yellow= is fuel adjustment, red= is base idle screw, when you wind fuel screw the idle increases so have to adjust base idle

Shiester! you are right I marked them backwards. That's right I now remember my MU's idle was low when i bought it. Idle then got to normal after adding fuel. I didn't need to adjust idle on MU but will need for the Jacka.

Thanks!

Found this for On-Boost adjustment: http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/more_power/Power_ve.htm

MU's pump had a screw at the top of actuator for On-Boost adjustment. Very easy to tune and only needed a notch to add black smoke and 80 deg C on EGT. But only noticeable up a steep hill at 1.1Bar Also makes power another 100RPM further.

On Boost may be touched ONLY with EGT.

Will play around if I get time on weekend.

Have to wind out the stop screw at the front of the fuel pump where the fuel feeds into the pump, pull the throttle cable and you will see the throttle plate hit it
