Dodge Ram 4.7 help

[georgia357]

I have a Jeep with the 4.7 HO.. TPS sensors and MAP sensors are common idle problem sources. If you are fairly handy, the manifold shouldn't be too tough to remove... it's just hella tight in there!

I'm fairly handy and hopefully you're right about not being too tough. My problem is my belly gets in the way.

Duct tape and bubble gum should hold it.

Seeing as to how it's always under a vacuum
It should work fine

That was kind of my thinking as well. Seems like if I can make sure there is no vacuum leak it shouldn't be too hard to glue back on.

Will I have to mess with the fuel rails and if so do I need any special tools?

Until the duct tape gets dirty and not so sticky and it gets sucked in.

Gonna tell on myself here a little bit. I was working under the hood of my 260ci Ford and had the air cleaner off so I put one of my Army dress socks over the carb to keep anything from getting down the intake. For some dumb reason, I figured I needed to crank the car up and heard the sound of the sock getting sucked done the carb. Talk about being sick. Luckily it just fused around one of the intake valves and didn't do any permanent harm but had me worried for a bit.

Make sure you check the muffler bearings too!
