Dodge Rampage - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

I don't have a diagram, but if I understand what you're saying, there is a copper ring at the top of the steering column, visible before you install the steering wheel. The copper pin is connected to the horn button. The intent being that when you press the horn button, it completes the ground from the steering wheel through the horn button, through the pin, to the copper ring. If this is correct, there should be no contact between the steering wheel and the copper ring other than the pin. Check to see if there may have been a spacer (washer, etc) below the steering wheel on the steering shaft that holds it just far enough away from the copper ring so that only the copper pin makes contact.

How do I remove the starter on a 1984 dodge rampage? It is really hard to get to.

You'll still need to unlock the steering wheel and shift lever. This can only be done with the key or by breaking the collar for the keyswitch. Either it is very difficult, and best left to the hands of a proffesional.

if you have a hydraulic clutch there is probably no adjustment. it might help to bleed the clutch, similar to bleeding brakes.is the clutch slipping? if not i wouldnt worry about. if it is slipping you might need a clutch job.

there isnt a schematic for valve timing. i need to know a bit more, such as is this an over head cam engine, is it a interference engine, if it is over head cam is it dual over head cams? in general if your number one cylinder is at TDC and all the valves over number one are closed than your valve train is in time. hope this helps

This is a case of pure coincidence. It just went bad at the same time you made the repair. Just a fluke,no worries.

Engine warmed up, in neutral with emergency brake on, or wheels blocked for safety reasons.
Jumper wire from ground to idle stop switch. Disconnect isle stop solenoid wire. Set idle at 700 rpm. ( using Throttle stop speed screw )
Reconnect stop solenoid wire, and remove jumper wire.

yes it can as it depends what this vacumn pipe is running

buy a universal one from Kragen, and yes it had one

if it turns over but doesnt run, check the hall pickup in the distributor. if it wont turn over at all, its the brown goundwire connected in the engine compartment on the drivers side halway between the starter motor and the master cylinder.

what did you have rebuilt.

It's probably inside the frame just ahead of the rear axleon the passenger side. You should be able to follow the fuel line from the gas tank and run into it.
