    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Thanks, the noid light did light on that plug. And I swapped plugs to check wiring. I am going to hit the u pull and get a few and swap them out.

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Yeah either the injector is dead or gummed up enough the ECM cannot open it. I have opened it with direct voltage from the battery recently though but maybe I killed it. Last night I swapped the plugs to the opposite injector to make sure it is not the plug itself. Still wouldn't open but the...

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Update, I got it. Strange chain of events. Truck would run on spray or gas down the TB before but wouldn't today. I tried starting it with gas down the TB yesterday and it only puffed out of the TB. It would bump maybe once. I rented a noid light today. It flashed but was dim. I had my Tahoe...

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Yes on the power side I get 12v iirc. when not cranking but I will double checkI was so frustrated i forgot to write everything i did down. Should I not be getting proper voltage where should I look next? I am thinking of pulling the whole harness out and replacing it but.... ugh....

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Well. Put a new module in. Nothing. Checked fuses again. All good Checked wires at the injectors flashing on the ground side with a test light. Just to do it I checked fuel pump reference, icm reference and a bunch of others with a dvm and test light at the ecm. Crawled under the truck and heard...

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    Thanks for the replies guys. I have hot wired the injectors already to make sure fuel will flow through them. Basically held them open and fuel came through and the truck ran shortly. I did some more tests after posting this with my son. I have the computer plugged in but still out so I tested...

    87 R10 TBI injectors will not spray

    I am at a loss. Sorry this will be long. This truck sat for a few years but ran before. My Dad gave it to my son so I am trying to get it running again. Ultimately here is where I am. A mouse, or several, chewed some wires up. I have all the ones I can see reconnected. Truck still would not...

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    Awesome, thanks guys. I am going to get the wheels painted white like yours Green79. I also thought about black without caps. depends if I can find some nice caps or not. There is a dude on ebay selling a set of NOS caps for over $1000.... But I did find some used for around 50. Used it is...

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    I can't believe it but I ended up finding a set of factory steel wheels at U Pull. Out of probably 50 trips this is the one trip where I netted almost everything on my long term shopping list. Just have to get some hub caps. Thinking of having them powder coated like Green79's. I guess there...

    They are pretty cool. Too big for my 2WD I think.

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    Eh, glad I am not going to clean mine up then. I love working on my stuff but for some reason I despise detailing wheels.

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    I thought about possibly getting some 8 lug wheels from the newer trucks but people still want a whole bunch for those.

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    Nice, I wish I could find some good looking factory wheels and caps around here. Thanks for the pics. The second pic is what I have now but they are not nearly in that condition.

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    My wheels are outlaw style wheels and are rusted pretty good. I am not sure which factory wheels came with the truck. I can't find anything that just screams at me. Let me see what the rest of your 8 lug guys have.

    audio system for standard cab

    That unit has 23 watts RMS per channel which is a lot better than most newer head units. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-DFMSnQ5HUqu/p_500CDA9811/Alpine-CDA-9811.html#details-tab

    audio system for standard cab

    Not an audio expert but I work around a lot of it. One thing to pay attention to no matter what truck you go with is the RMS rating not advertised. RMS is a realistic power output rating that you are likely to see. Matching RMS output with RMS handling capability of speakers, subs etc. aids in...

    How about a NEW squarebody?

    Playing around in those was one of my favorite parts of being in the National Guard. Not being mine and being a young kid I usually had two speeds, on and off :)

    350 TBI 2k-3k RPM woes

    Gotcha, that would be why the ECM isn't commanding it in the IROC. My dad's 87 hasn't ran in so long I can't even remember driving it. Did they set it up to lock in third for hauling? Since your are not supposed to in overdrive. I still think his issue would be the constant lockup in 4th...

    305 carb to 5.7 tbi need help

    If you want to use your existing exhaust and avoid an exhaust shop you can install one of these as close to the manifold as possible. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/avm-30-2355-250 You basically just drill a hole big enough for the sensor. Put this on, line up the holes, and clamp it down...

    350 TBI 2k-3k RPM woes

    Overdrive is a .70 gear (0.696:1). Not intended for acceleration. Especially in a 200HP motor with swirl port heads that falls on it's face around 4500 with a small cam. Assuming you used the L05 K motor. Not knocking the motors, I love TBI, but it is a corporate, fuel economy motor to be used...

    Pickup coil testing question

    I gotcha. I never messed with one before either. Just replaced the hole dizzy. But on those the pick up had obviously broken down. Yellow dust. Not sure on this. Guess I will just cross my fingers. I know if the alternator was surging it could kill the modules, but it was replaced before I got...
