so I finally got the front axle buttoned up. new spicer shafts, new balljoints, one new wheelbearing unit. cranked it up fine rode down the trail and after about 5-10 minutes into the trail it shuts off. no problem, its done this once before, I'll just crank it and keep going. well once I get onto the second trail it just shuts off. I got uneasy that it did it twice so I cranked it up and wanted to turn around and go back home. I couldn't:
once it finally cranks up it runs fine, you can go through the RPM range and it runs/sounds fine. you can let it idle, it runs fine. but as soon as I put it in gear (reverse or drive) it cuts off. when the engine is off and you turn the accessories on, you can here the fuel pump engage and sounds strong/fine. how can I tell whats shutting my jeep off? is it enough fuel pressure to run the engine only(nuetral)? roomate seems to think thats the deal. that when you put it in gear, it always drops off in RPMs, that the fuel pump isn't putting enough gas in there to run it that low.
