02-HO injector pump problem?
I'm on the road with 5th wheel in Greer S.C. and I suspect injector pump is going away., Pulling R.V. and wide open throttle in 6th gear can't make more than 1150 - 1200 turbo temp and power seems to be off. From idle to start off in 1st gear engine will stall but starts back up. After coming down hills and starting up a hill the throttle will not dial in power (lags) but after 1 -2 seconds power dials back in slowly (boost at 20lbs) turbine temp rises slow. At 2100 RPM in 6th gear can't get more than 1100 temp and seems low power. Before filter pressure 15lbs and after filter pressure 12 lbs at wide open throttle. If I wasn't pulling the RV I probably wouldn't have noticed the decrease in performance. I have a bad feeling the Injector pump is weak. Is anybody in this area that can recommend a good shop? I'm headed for N.C. but don't want to attempt climbing the blue ridge with the degraded power. Need a helping hand. Gonna try the local dodge dealer on monday if I can't get other help
