    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    I've done the same thing only I felt the compression rather than sticking something in the cylinder.

    I already had one for obd2 and I got a adaptor for like 5 bucks. the only problem was that its from hong kong so its taking a few weeks to get here.

    I know that there is a possibility that it is a mechanical problem. however, i feel that it is most likely something with the computer because the problem stops when the timing control is bypassed

    Ok will do. I've got a obd1 cable ordered so in a week or so I'll hook it up to the computer with tunepro and see what it's doing

    I checked the valve all ready. It has 20 in of vaccum off idle going to it and I can push the valve open and it goes back to close. Also if it was the egr valve, the problem would go away when you open the throttle.

    I have a volt meter and can test cirsuits. what would you like me to check?
  13. Jake292

    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    yeah I got a voltmeter and i can test circuts fairly well.

    ok thats about what it is doing. when i tried to retard it while it was running it just died.

    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    Should it be advancing the timing at idle?

    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    I checked it last night and it was all correct. It files perfect with the wire unplugged but it stumbles with it plugged in.

    I just relized that even if i restab the distributor it will still be timed to 0* and still be advanced too far.

    Last night I bumPed the motor over to where the timing mark was under the pointer and it looked right but I'll double check it exaust it was a quick glance last nights I didn't have much time.

    Is it pus single that the ignition is being advanced so far that it fires to the wrong cylinder and stumbles then goes back to 0* and restarts the cycle.

    the map sensor is putting out the right voltage since i replaced it.

    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    ok so i checked the distributor and it is installed correctly. also I adjusted the timing to 0* and when i plugged in the bypass wire and it would start and idle rough. the timing light showed that, from my interpetation, is advancing the timing and when it stumbles shoots back to 0* and...

    No it doesn't have the dial It will probably be a few hours till I can work in it though.

    '87 TBI 350 Troubles

    Sometimes it will idle when I give it gas but slmost all the time it won't. I think that the timing is too advanced also, I will try to retard more to see if it will idle. I have a timing light that has the clip that goes around the wire not the plug but it doesn't have a tach or anything like that.

    My plan for this evening was to check the distributor again and Play with the timing.
