    MEP-003A hook up question

    yes one neutral, remove the bond from the back side of the ground lug, insulate it well and zip tie it up out of the way.

    New Member/Western North Carolina RE: MEP 003A

    Get yourself a few brass punches, after removing the Delivery valve, valve holder, spring and the big hex cap, you can see if the plunger is frozen. Put the largest brass punch that easily fits down in there all the way in and give it a baby tap. Ridgid, or did it give? If its ridgid, give it a...

    MEP-018A: ol' reliable dying, advice sought.

    Definitely would recreate the symptoms and when its acting up do a spark test with something like this and checking for a quality spark . Compare findings to when its cooled off and runs well. Guessing no spark or very weak...

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    The returns are such a pain in the rear to keep from kinking and lining them back up. If you need some of the copper washers and thermal washer give me a shout I buy them in quantity..

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    The aluminum injector boss/ cooling heatsink corrodes to the steel of the head. I soak them in Kroil for a day or two, and that plus a big pair of channel locks to twist them while pulling up does the job. I had to use the 'oxy wrench' and make it glow once, but Kroil almost always does the job!

    MEP-002A are all Control cubicles interchangeable?

    Its all the same. Watch for 400hz and 60hz control cubicles. Just check the jumpers on the VR, and the frequency transducer

    002a excessive blow-by

    Good point, I missed that. On my Saab, it was about 40% low on the offending cylinder and oil brought it up quite a bit...... It still makes the most sense and the symptom is correct.... If there is a restriction in the oil circuit it should flow from the bypass back into the pan. I dont know...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Funky... it's either fuel or compression related. I would start with the easiest first and move to the hardest. R&R injectors. Remove them have them pop tested and the spray looked at. Adjust for pop or replace nozzles if the spray looks like crap. After that, if you have no improvement, pull...

    When you say idling, do you mean 1800rpm or with the throttle all the way relaxed?

    MEP 003 VR repair.

    Something I know nothing about. Never had to touch one! Eating dinner now but will look at a diagram to see what it does later. In the meantime from the TM (5) Linear Reactor (Ll). Disconnect electrical connectors from control box. Use an ohmmeter to check resistance of each of the three...
