got a NEW STANDARD unit coming this morning..
can get another, but won’t be till the night truck..

unbelievable... not dealer or even our stores carries a NEW GM unit..
I guess 88-95 is obsolete in the auto parts world..  If I was doing inventory I would disagree and have at least 1 set in the Main DC

TB gasket easy.. can get as many of those as needed..
TB rebuild kit.. just as difficult as the injectors..

can always go Amazon prime..
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

6 new cross member nutserts welded in, replaced G8 hardware
exhaust rerouted between pan and inspection cover to help tummy height
o2 bung welded up
crossmember clearanced for CAT (still pretty tight)
Mid exhaust hanger to trans mount added
front oil pan skid fabbed and installed
A pillers tied to frame with plate/tube/rubber isolation
TBI spacer installed and sealed up vac leaks
added a light throttle return spring.

will the new injectors come with new orings?  3 of yours were torn, i used the ones from the POD i had, but it would be nice to put new ones in.  not leaking now, but new is nice.

(1) realized .188" i lifted the TBI with spacer to fix vac leaks caused your mechanical linkage contraption to bottom out ever so slightly and peg the IACV trying to get below where it was stuck at 900-1100rpm idle.  adjustments and fixed

(2) 350 injectors removed, new 4.3 injectors / gaskets installed- spray is good- all is good.

(3) from cold start, laptop through ALDL shows it could not go into closed loop with current 160 stat, and settings on efan controller.  we tweaked up the efan controler so it kicks on and off when the motor is 185-190.  (temp the ECM sees, not the gage on your dash) 

(4) all sensor feed backs look clean- other than O2.  should be .75ish volts steady at 14.6:1   O2 reading noise from 0v t .4v entire time.  unplug goes to 0.4V.  Good ground to sensor, wire harness appears ok.  0.4volts measured on ECM pin between ground.  need to check if that is typical.  Suspect bad O2 even though it looks brand new.

poor fueling leaky injectors not good for any system -fixed

HUGE vac leaks and unmetered air not good for any system- fixed



ECM has no feed back from 02 not good for any system in closed loop.


Hope we dont have a computer or harness issue, but regardless ECM needs 02 feed back



TBI's dont really matter with "codes" they are more like indicators.  Reading real time with the lap top makes the problem obvious.

Once we get all the sensors functioning in the system- we can road test or even have you take it back for a little bit to get a feel.  If its still no good in performance id like to get Mike Universal out here to start messing with timing and fuel maps- no sense in that until the system is happy.
