WARNING: JET modules - 12/8/2007 2:01:58 PM    95V8Dakota4x4 Posts: 112 Joined: 10/25/2007 Status: offline So it turns out that the fuel pump was not my problem. Nor was it anything to do with the distributor. The JET Stage 2 module I had installed over a year ago suddenly failed. And it's taken my computer with it. I've contacted JET's customer service, and asked them to refund me for the module and replace my ECM as well. It took two contact pins and the entire nut and bolt assembly with it. I installed it correctly with no issues, and it ran fine until this Monday, so I have a hunch that the failure caused enough heat to fatigue the plastic directly around the plug area. The bolt wouldn't unthread (it turned but wouldn't come out) and when I tried working it gently by hand it suddenly pulled right out. It smells pretty rank too... _____________________________ To alcohol...the cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems. Post #: 1

Wish I'd known before I wasted over $300 on that useless module (it didn't even make much of a difference, at least until it fried and took out my computer, that was definetely a difference). _____________________________ To alcohol...the cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems.
