    torque converter issue?

    Ive been in the automotive industry for 12 years i understand how to follow a diagnostic procedure. This isnt my first time doing this kind of test. But I have never encountered a needle fluttering like that when accelerating. Im just trying to interpret the data that I found. There is a clear...

    torque converter issue?

    Pressure seems pretty close to where it is supposed to be. It may be a little weak though. AllData says 65-75 psi at 1000 rpm in park, OD, and neutral. At 1000 rpms it was right above 65psi. In the video it drops below that because i let the rpm's drop below 1000 rpm. It idles around 600 rpm in...

    torque converter issue?

    I checked the transmission pressure and found some interesting stuff. While under light acceleration the transmission pressure is very jumpy. It does it a little bit at idle but it gets worse as you accelerate. I added a link to a video of whats going on. Its hard to see but the rpm gauge says...

    torque converter issue?

    I was cruising on the highway at about 70mph when the code 44 was set. But the light was only on for a few seconds

    torque converter issue?

    The light came on the other day for about 30 seconds then went back out. I checked the codes and it gave me a code 44 for lean exhaust condition. I will check the trans pressure this afternoon. And let you know where its at.

    torque converter issue?

    I tested the fuel pressure this morning. It was steady at 13 psi. I also swapped out the coolant temp sensor since it was under warranty, but no change in the cold engine issues.

    torque converter issue?

    I have a 1987 R10 with 350 & 700R4. I am having a few different issues with it that I feel could all be related. First, when I first start the truck and the engine is cold, it will bog down really bad and barely move. If I drive it at about 2000 rpm it will smooth out and accelerate, but...

    Poor acceleration while in open loop

    I had almost the exact same problem almost two years ago. It turned out to be an issue with the distributor. Replaced with a new one and it ran great up until a few weeks ago and I started having what seemed like the same issue. I tested the pickup coil and it was out of spec so i replaced it...

    Poor acceleration while in open loop

    I have a 1987 chevy r10 with a 350. When the engine is cold it will stumble when trying to accelerate. It idles smooth and its not missing. Only stumbles when trying to accelerate. feels like an ignition issue. Once the truck gets up to operating temperature, it runs perfectly. Just replaced...

    sway bar bushings

    Oreillys, Napa, Autozone, Pep Boys, Rock Auto. Everywhere I looked only offers the smaller ones that connect the bar to the frame, but not the ones for the bar to the control arms. They have some that are label as being for the control arm, but they are the exact same as the other ones and they...

    sway bar bushings

    I have a 1987 chevy r10 w/ a 350. Ive have been looking for some new front sway bar bushings. My problem is that, on my truck, the bushings that connect the bar to the frame are a different size than the ones that connect the bar to the control arms. They both have the same inside diameter, but...

    Confused

    It wouldnt matter if all 4 bulbs were hi/low because the harness will only turn on the lower bulbs when the high beam circuit is activated anyways. You said that the lower bulbs will work when you plug them into the harness for the upper lights? If this is the case, your issue is either going to...

    TBI low idle

    I have a 1987 chevy r10 with a 350. When I crank it up on a cold day, it will start but idle just high enough to stay running (probably around 300 rpm) and will sometimes stall and give a poof of smoke out the top of the throttle body. When it does stay running, i can disconnect and reconnect...

    1987 Chevy r10 front end vibration at highway speed

    There doesnt really seem to be any way to control the shaking. It seems to start as soon as it hits the 65-75 mph range, and smooths out around 85. The majority of the vibration is in the steering wheel, but a little bit in the pedal as well. It feel like the steering wheel is shaking more up...
