 Subject: 94 3.9 Fuel Problems
IP: Logged
Message:
I have 94 3.9 Dakota. I replaced the fuel pump 6 months ago with a universal pump. It hasn't run good since. Now the truck runs horribly. I put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel log where there is a plug. It pegged the gauge at 100psi. I know this is high so i was wondering if you have to use a Dodge fuel pump. I was also wondering why there isn't a return to the tank. The truck idles high, and runs very inconsistant. It stalls constantly. It puffs black smoke too. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

your right thats way high-around 45psi is the pressure
there should be a return to the tank,this will cause high pressure,the return will run with the pressure line from the tank,make sure the return has,nt been pinched off

vern you are wrong, there ya go sticking your nose where it doesnt belong again
A 1994 didnt have a return, the regulator was on the tank.. The stock fuel pressure should be around 41 +-5psi Pull the bed and check the regulator, you screwed it upsome how on the universal pump install. I personally would of bought a direct replacement one. Or even a whole new sending unit depending on the millage.
