Hi, ViperTim.
The reference by your friend concerning "a computer from a Cherokee..." is likely referring to the JTEC (Jeep/Truck Engine Controller) which was used on the 1996 R/T 10 which was the last Gen I production motor for a Viper. Some loosely refer to this model as a Gen 1.5 with its...
Good info, Dan. As I regularly get calls from our European friends with a variety of questions, I am sure that some will contact you once they have read this post.
You may already be aware that there is an open Facebook group called Viper zones of Europe. A post in that group might help inform...
No and no to the first two questions concerning this particular Viper.
The value of this Viper is a harder call...but remember 22,000 miles/ 3 owner Viper raises many questions. "Extremely clean" does not determine current mechanical condition or status of "electrical components, past driving...
vpr97, before you go too far, you might want to state your driving intentions...be that street (for looks) vs. track. If track (as I suspect), you may find that different series/drivers ed venues have different tech requirements which may/may not recognize the adequacy of your pending choice.
Condolences are offered to your family, Christine. Mad Prof offered many constructive solutions to Viper issues over the years. His opinions were both valued and respected at a global level. R.I.P., My Friend !!
It is well known that there was only one factory built 2008 violet Viper convertible with aero built. One of my fellow IN/KY owners had it for many years prior to severe health issues. There is a bit more to the history.
There is confirmation about the uniqueness of its production in the 2009...
I sure am hoping that it is nothing major. Another sound/vibration that I remember being chased on Gen IV's was exhaust components making light contact with other surfaces...especially after modifications.
OK, I'll quit taking wild guesses now.
Not trying to alarm you...but I vaguely recall something a bit more subtle (at first) concerning 2008's with possible problematic yokes in the valve train which allowed some of the rollers to rotate 90 degrees and eat the camshaft.
Just one of many random thoughts. :)
Great job, Sir !!
Message to South Florida Viper Owners:
This gentleman is a knowledgeable, experienced technician who runs a mobile service. Speaking with him was a real pleasure. If you need assistance, give him a call.
What year?
If indeed a Gen II, fuel pump relay and fuse are in a small closed rectangular box in the extreme left side of "trunk". Remove lid for map.
Suggest that after you check fuse, you remove FP relay they firmly repeat it. If you cannot fear pump turn on then off as pressure rises...
With fuel pump clicking, the signal side seems intact. Socket for pin 30 should have 12 volts full time...does it?
If yes, have you tried to jump relay sockets (jumper between pin 30 socket to pin 87 socket to see if pump runs) with fuel pump relay removed? If pump not running, next step would...
BIG difference between 1997 and 1994 !!
If, by any chance, you paid a 1997 price for a 1994, I would suggest that you attempt to arrange a partial refund.
The fuse box on a Gen I (1992 through 1996.5) is under the passenger side dash closer to center of car. Here you will find a small panel as...
Sorry that I can't help with the filter you mentioned.
The MOPAR Oil Filter NOW recommended is Viper Specific for 1992 thru 2006 Vipers...05037836AB. (note "AB" and NOT "AA").
My answer would be the amount of money involved.
For the record, the first Viper ACR's 1999) were touted as having more horsepower (about 10 above the other models) since they came from the factory with smooth tubes and K&N filters.
ASD relay should be under the hood in the Power Distribution Center...remove cover and look in lid for location guide.
Fuel pump fuse and relay should be located in trunk on driver's side in a slender box with a cover.
