87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
It's fixed! I found out that my cap and rotor needed replacement as well as the throttle body needed to be cleaned. The hold in the butterfly for air intake at idle was gummed up and causing that sucking sound. Still needs some tuning but back to running and driving as it did before. Thanks for...- FahnSquatch

87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
I'll check that out. That was something I had thought of as I believe the main cause of the bogging at idle is the engine is being flooded?? I don't have a check engine light on but i'll jump the 2 pins and see if any codes read out,. Additionally, I just went out and fired up the ole girl to...- FahnSquatch

87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
The map sensor is plugged in and all connections seem to be in good working order. Could be that it is faulty, however, i have yet to try the brake cleaner method, need to pick some up. Thanks for the leads!- FahnSquatch

87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
Yes sir, I am still trying to dig through all of the information online to troubleshoot. Problem is a lot of people just start replacing parts and not really troubleshooting so it's been tough going so far.- FahnSquatch

87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
Thanks for the response Chip! I have checked all my vacuum lines and all seem to be in working order. I have not checked the throttle body gasket. Could be the issue. I am wondering however, if the full blast injectors is at all related to the random ecmb blown fuse. Maybe it's the TPS....?- FahnSquatch

87 K20 TBI 350........issues :(
Alright, so of course this dingus at the dump the other day had to tell me that my old girl would never die. As soon as I pull out the dump, she decided that she wasn't going to be told how to live her life and died on me. I was able to limp her home but she was running very rough and barely...- FahnSquatch

Replaced My Gauge Cluster - Quick Question
The reason i had replaced the cluster was because i did not have properly working gauges, ie: oil pressure, fuel level, and battery. On the old cluster the 4wd, seat belt, parking break lights worked. I cannot remember if the check engine light worked, I do not remember ever seeing it. I will...- FahnSquatch

Replaced My Gauge Cluster - Quick Question
Hi Bruce, Thanks for the response. The 87 has a mechanical speedometer as well. I believe GM started incorporating the VSS in 88. The only thing I have found to be different between the clusters from the earlier years is the Choke light. Thanks, Fahn- FahnSquatch

Replaced My Gauge Cluster - Quick Question
Hi Everyone! I recently just replaced my gauge cluster on my 87 K20. What I did not realize is that the cluster I replaced mine with did not have a check engine light as it was from an earlier year. It instead has a choke light. Will the choke light act just as my check engine light for any...- FahnSquatch
