    TBI problems

    Sorry it took me so long to respond. Yes, I ended up taking it to a mechanic. Took him two weeks but finally figured it out. Two issues.... broken power wire to ecm and bad injectors. He never did find where the wire broke so he just ran a new one. He ended up putting another throttle body...

    TBI problems

    I have done the fuel pump thing...It seems like I have changed just about everything. I know it's got to be something simple that I am just missing. I got a recommendation for a good mechanic not too far up the road, so now I just have to get it up there.

    TBI problems

    Ok, so I couldn't just let her sit. I decided to drop a new distributor in as a hail mary. When I dropped it in I noticed that the fuel pump primed as if I had turned the key to the on position (it was in the on position the entire time). So I got to investigating, thinking I had pinched a...

    The AC Delco ICM arrived and is on and no change. Now she is going to sit until I can get it to a mechanic. Thanks to everyone for the help.

    TBI problems

    As far as I know there is not polarity on the injectors and you can not install them backwards because there is a little pin on them that has to sit in a slot on the injector pods. Otherwise you crack the injector pod and get to search for a new throttle body...ask me how I know this. The...

    TBI problems

    The truck ran but it idled high. I tested with starter fluid and there was a surge when I sprayed it behind the throttle body. I figured it couldn't hurt to change the intake gasket and while I was at it I might as well change the valve cover gaskets too. After getting it all put back...

    Fuel pressure regulator... Got it. I was thinking maybe something had fallen down into the throttle body while I was putting it back together, so I might pick up another kit and do it again... It's easy enough. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

    TBI problems

    I did change the fuel filter when I changed the fuel pump and sending unit. I tested the tps a while back and it was fine, but I also have unplugged it a couple of times recently and it still won't start. I am leaning toward fuel pressure myself. I am wondering if possibly a fuel line has...

    TBI problems

    Ok, a few weeks back on my 1987 Chevy V10 I redid the intake gasket and the valve cover gaskets trying to chase down a vacuum leak. Got it all back together and she wouldn't start. If I pour gas down the throttle body bores she will fire and run til the fuel is burnt up. I have been...
