Re: '87 4KCSQ Questions



In a message dated 97-03-19 01:07:30 EST, you write:

<< - What is your experience with usable RPM for the 5 cylinder 2.22L
   motors. Mine seems to hit a wall at about 5300. Motor sound even  
 changes radically. >>

Congratulations, you have been a victim of a blundering incompetent 
Parts Counterperson ( I hope it wasn't me or any of my people ).

I suspect that your 5 cyl engine is being fed by a 4 cylinder fuel pump
relay. ( the rev limiter is built into the fuel pump relay ).  Ever have a 
tech or parts guy tell you "...ah, they're all the same..."  guess what, they
are not.

Read the part number off the side of the fuel pump relay and post it here
or call me after 09:00 EST when I'm at work and I'll look up the
part number for you and verify if it's correct ( 610-279-4100 ).

It should go to the "red stuff & beyond" ( at least once ) depending on he
cam 
belt.
