    Summer memories in the TC

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    I also have two daughters also, all grown up but they used to love rides in the convertible, last spring during the pandemic my brother asked if he could borrow the TC so my nephew could graduate HS in it, of course I said yes.

    Him and his wife in the front seats and my nephew with cap and gown on the tonneau cover, as I suspected as an afterthought I will be taking the car to a paintless dent removal place this spring to remove some slight buckling in the cover.

    I never mentioned anything to them and they did make the cover of there local news paper.

    pressure relief and roll over valve

    Hoping to use the original but if for some reason I break a 32 year old valve, I'm looking for a "back up" option.

    As Reaper said it's made for a Jeep (Chrysler) application and some say it's a good replacement and some say no.

    Either way when the time comes I will be as careful as possible using your advise to use the original, do these units fail over time?

     

    Also, I dont plan on rolling over my TC in the near future but will the wrong valve screw with engine performance?

    New fuel pump questions

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    Hi all,

     Shopping for a new fuel pump for my 16v (also tank & sending unit) any advise?

    Rock auto sells a bunch but none of them look like the electrical connectors in the manual (manual shows three pins, Rock auto options show two).

    Rock Auto sells all three items I'm looking for under "Spectra Premium" so I trust they are compatible but is Spectra a good line of products?

     

    While I'm under the car I'm also replacing the Cat converter, any brand advise? High flow? Direct fit? 2" in and out?

    THANKS AGAIN,

                     Peter

    Hi Guys,

    Preplacing my fuel tank in a couple of months, lining things up. I'll replace everything, pump, sender, filler grommet and I guess the roll over valve, but I cant source one.

    I saw a post from ten years ago of a member having a tough time finding one and a recent post of how they are plastic and easily snap off if your not very careful when you pull the tank (which I will be).

    Do they fail after 32 years? does anyone have a part# or cross-reference, other vehicles that had the setup. Any tips are appreciated.

    Thanks,

           Peter

    Mine has recently done the same, running fine then acts like someone just turned off the ignition key, I can wait fifteen minutes and it will start, I suspect the fuel pump mainly because after it runs for a while there is a high pitch noise coming from the fuel tank, noticed it about a month ago when I had it on a lift. has anyone else had a noisy fuel pump, is that common? going into storage for the winter in a couple weeks and was going to deal with it in the spring.  THX

    fuel pump noise

    I love my 16v, and she's been running great lately especially after I replaced the pick up coil in the distributor, BUT, after she drives for a while there's a high pitch noise coming from the fuel tank, I'm assuming this is the pump with the sock filter on it (Is this noise normal?). then today going up a steep incline she lost her power and started sputtering, Its happened a few times over the past few years. I always try to keep her with more than half a tank and that seems to help a little. Any thoughts are appreciated as always. she's going to bed for the winter in a month but I love driving in the crisp fall weather with the foliage in New England. Maybe I'll just keep her topped off and Enjoy her another few weeks and deal with it in the spring. I occasionally put injector cleaner in, never done the Sea Foam thing, ?????

    THANKS
