    Ignition switch popping fuses

    yeah thats what I'm assuming, instead of fixing it he just threw new wires and worked around it. Whenever i get some time ill try to get it back in order.

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    MAY HAVE GOT IT! maybe... so I was checking the connections at the starter, I noticed the main power lead from the battery to the starter didn't have power. I followed it back up and discovered it wasn't actually connected to the battery terminal, it was just being held in place by the heat...

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    Yeah I've been looking around the distributor just am not finding anything out of order. I do have headers and it looks like theres a few wires diving behind them straight to the starter, that is the next place ill be looking.

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    Alright so I'm going to have to better understand my wiring to figure this out because i haven't found anything obvious so far. The fuse does not burn out with the ignition on, but as soon as i turn the key to crank, i hear it pop. This is the home made wire running from my battery straight to...

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    Ive already ripped it all out, no winch, no cb, no light. I don't need any of that crap. Just following through the wiring and removing anything that isn't factory or needed. But at this point i just got to figure out what is causing this new issue. The more I look the more depressed i get, its...

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    I hacked off the added on wire and got it healed back up. Haven't checked the door locks yet (Which haven't worked right). still trying to get the fuse from blowing, so far no luck. Im thinking the issue may be the wiring at the starter. Its just so hard to tell where to start, the previous...

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    Ok that’s what I was thinking as well. I’ve been looking under the dash though. I start at the battery. I have found some scary shit under the dash. I appreciate all your help, I think you have single handedly kept my truck running. Here’s a photo of something scary I found. Prob not...

    Ignition switch popping fuses

    So I've been working on my truck today, trouble shooting an idle issue and getting the timing better. Well I set the timing and turned off the engine and unplugged the battery. Wait a few minutes and plug battery back in and try to fire it. Just one click and everything dead. I locate a red...

    Idle lowers in gear

    Does the reset make the IAC freak out. Connected the terminals and turned the key on, the IAC just started clicking constantly until I unplugged it. Is that normal? Finished the reset and the idle is still poop. It starts to surge then stumbles and dies. I have to hold the throttle until it...

    Idle lowers in gear

    87 TBI with auto th400 tranny. I'm currently trying to get my truck running solid and a trying to figure out the cause of my idle issues. The one odd thing I've noticed is it idles great in park but once i put it in drive it drops quite a bit. Only does this when cold. Once its warmed up it does...

    Help me ID these wire connections...

    Hey were only focusing on one crappy part of my truck at a time! stay focused! ..... lol i believe it started carving into the cap because the rotor was not down the shaft far enough. The shaft was very rusty and I think the P/O slapped a new rotor on but didn't investigate if it was fully...

    Loud clunk after dizzy install...

    SOLVED. the clunk was 100% "starter kickback" from timing too advanced. Got the timing set the proper way and she fired right up and no clunk or scary noises. The starter still sounds a bit high pitched, it definitely needs properly shimmed but it was not the reason for the noise. I can now...

    Loud clunk after dizzy install...

    Man I freaken love this forum, you guys are so helpful its nuts. After all these starter shimming, ideas I started researching more online and found people saying if the ignition is too advance it can cause the engine to kick back at the starter. Since i pulled the dizzy it might be my timing is...
