check all the vacuum lines, and the PCV valve, get a can of carb cleaner, and while the motor is running, spray short bursts of the carb cleaner all around where vacuum lines are located, if the motor rev's up thats where your leak is going to be

1984 dodge w-150 turn signals
the process for chasing this electrical 'ghost' is to test the motor ( I like to run a wire from the battery to the motor and test if it works that way). Then you will want to test the switch this can be done by doing a continuity test and operating the switch while it is hooked up to your multimeter. If that is okay, then you want to test the relay, this is done by trying a swap out or connecting it up to a battery ( 9 volts are the best) and seeing if that can make thte relay move. You can also operate the switch while the relay is powered on, but in this case if you have gotten this far you will know that the relay is really the only thing left, other then the fuse (which should have been checked first) and the wires.

If you are referring to the carb, it is adjusted by 'playing by ear'. Once is for the gas and the other is for the air. Move the screws quarter turns and observe. Take note how many movements are made so you can redo what you have done. Sometimes spraying carb cleaner helps.

83 dodge 440.will only fire when starter is
Hello
It sounds like you have a defective Ignition switch, not the key cylinder but the actual electrical switch that powers up the system that the key cylinder operates. The ignition system gets power from two sources, one is crank and the other is the run signal, if the switch is defective and only the crank circuit works then the ignition system looses power once the engine starts and you release the key from the crank position to the run position. This is a common symptom of a defective ignition switch. I don't see a 440 V8 listed for 1983 Dodge pickups, please clarify what this is you have here.

If you go to AutoZone.com and register (free) you can nagivate your way to the "repair info" section. Once there look at the list in the center of the page and click on "emission controls:, after that look on the left side of the page for "VACUUM DIAGRAMS". the proper vacuum diagram should be there for your truck.

I have a 78 dodge
Hello peterrole1 ,
The easiest way I can think of is to switch the power to the coil. Put a switch inline on the positive side of the coil. When it's off no power to the coil when on the power is restored.

Ipulled out a318 with a2
Sounds like the accelerator pump circuit in the carb is not squirting fuel in when you depress the accelerator. That is why you get the lag in acceleration before it decides to launch. When you open the carb you should get a steady stream of fuel from the accelerator pump. With the engine not running look down the carb throat and open the throttle blades and visually check to see that there is a stream of fuel when doing so. If not time to rebuild the carb, or just get another accelerator pump for
the carb.
