no worries, thanks yes that'd be a help!

so after getting my castor angle a bit better tonight and a remarkable change in the steering, I moved onto brakes. I molegripped the vacuum pipe down and went for a drive, the pedal was as hard as a hard thing, but yet the car kept stalling on braking.

This will probably sound like a stupid question, but would the sensor that is in the cat have anything to do with it??

If I can get this niggle sorted I will come up to cheapfest, I have booked the friday off.....

When you say its stalling when braking, is it cutting out as soon as you press the brake pedal or as you come to a stop? Oh and is it auto or manually, i forget?

willo · « **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2012, 12:13:09 AM »

As i try and come to a stop. Its a manual

Bear in mind the tryck hasn't really run for most of the year

Mine always stalls when I'm in Low ratio just as I'm pulling up but it's never done it in 2W or 4WH

Ezz · « **Reply #30 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:38:06 AM »

have you tried increasing the tickover speed a tad?

mine stalled a couple off times, so i turned the tickover up a bit, seemed a lot better...

willo · « **Reply #31 on:** September 04, 2012, 11:17:33 AM »

Yuh there is also food for thought that its the extra load of the 24v alternator that is causing it to stall

You don't make life easy for yourself Mr Willo?

you have gone seriously in at the deep end on this build...... Hats off to you tho....... You will eventually have a rig to beat those pesky Italians

I'v got a long arm kit on my ZJ and i it work due to having a long wheel base.
I can see your point on a TJ that it may not be the est idea
But there's not a lot u can do to a ZJ body to move it out of the way and keep it road legal

willo · « **Reply #34 on:** September 04, 2012, 11:49:47 AM »

Not hugely in at the deepend. Then again when you start something new your learning curve is liable to be pretty steep, Not bothered about beating the italians, i just want something I can enjoy and that will hold up to a challenge event. Rhe jeep is awesome, just gotta iron out the niggles

bgbazz · « **Reply #35 on:** September 04, 2012, 02:44:41 PM »

Will, did you try the tip from Ezz? Boost the idle speed by 100rpm and see what happens..lumpy, modified lumps often have idling problems.

willo · « **Reply #36 on:** September 04, 2012, 03:03:41 PM »

When i get back from work i will give it a go, but i have a kunkle to change first and some propshafts to grease

willo · « **Reply #37 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:57:37 PM »

Right so. Fitted hi steer kunkle and arm tonight. Also upt the idle speed. Not sure if its the castor or the arm or both but it has made a hell of a difference and i am now confident to drive it on the road over distances. Its not that rolly either and doesnt stall anymore. So all good.

Hopefully i can get my brakes bled properly, and some
Axle
Breathers fitted. ( may have to go on the covers)

I think i owe it to birtys to turn up at cheapfest as without it, none of this woulda happened

bgbazz · « **Reply #38 on:** September 05, 2012, 05:08:58 AM »

Result.

Ezz · « **Reply #39 on:** September 05, 2012, 07:57:46 AM »

Well done that man

Brake assist check. Engine off - repeatedly press and depress the brake pedal until it is solid then start the engine, pedal should drop slightly and thats it. If it drops to the floor then servo needs overhaul or repair

Delk · « **Reply #48 on:** September 06, 2012, 08:39:40 PM »

You should not be able to adjust the idle speed on a TJ since this is done by the ECM and the idle speed valve. If you adjust the little stop screw under the throttle plate the idle valve should compensate by moving in and out. This valve gets dirty sometimes and may need cleanging?? Just an idea.

Also do you have a speedo cable hooked up to your Dana 300? I think the ECM gives the engine a little bit extra rpms until it senses a stops. Maybe way off but I remember reading something along that line a long time ago.
