    Pronounced engine miss, suggestions?

    As of 20 minutes ago, I no longer own it. Unlike the person I bought it from I was completely honest about everything I did to it and why. After combining what I gave for it, plus the parts I put in it, I lost about $200. I couldve lied or played dumb and maybe broke even or made a little but it...

    Yes it does. With the connector hooked up, the timing advances like it should, though I dont know if its where its supposed to be, but it does advance and it dances around quite a bit. If I had to guess, ten degrees or more. Im going to try shooting some video as I know just reading text is very...

    Not sure if anyone is following this still but here is an update. The distributor base that the cap mounts to was slightly bent. Couldnt really see it by eye alone but meaurements are easy. That and the pickup wires, green and white, both had cracked insulation. Bought a new dizzy. Also took...

    I took a few days off from this, then got poking around a little at something I should have noticed before. Maybe Im grasping at straws here, IDK. This is on the old cap. And this I found inside the new cap. The button is riding high enough to gouge the cap but also, check out the wear...

    Pronounced engine miss, suggestions?

    Ive sprayed an assortment of stuff around the entire manifold, tbi, brake booster etc. Idk that the compression is that low. Its an old engine, no denying that obviously but the numbers are consistent at least. Nothing to point a finger at one particular cylinder. Before I tear the engine apart...

    The lowest was between 115 and 120 and the highest was 135. Also, I took apart the TBI found the pres reg diaphram was bunched up on one side but the only improvement is I dont smell gas like I did. So, while doing all of this Ive found a new ECT sensor, newish looking IAC, what was a recent...

    Is a 350 from a 1990 a direct swap? Idk why it wouldnt be but then again, the thermo-coil actuated direct fusion gas inhibitor might not be compatible.

    I agree, but I was stuck in the garage, found the nasty ignition parts and was sure that was it, and I guess I am sickened by the possibility of a trashed engine honestly. Denial at its finest you know?

    The only code I got was 15, coolant temp, but I had unplugged that while it was running last night. Cleared the code, ran it for 15 min at various speeds, let it sit for about 20 min, ran it again about 10 min. No codes. Talked to a friend of mine at the parts store that actually talked me out...

    Thanks for the replies. Havent run a comp test yet, I dont have the gauge. The ECT looks like it was recently changed, probably the PO trying to fix this miss but Im going to replace it anyway. I have no way of knowing what temp the coolant is at and I cant run the truck inside the garage for...

    Pronounced engine miss, suggestions?

    I didnt get a chance to ohm test the ect but when I unplugged it, the engine tried to die. Unhooked the egr with no change, and no vacuum from the port either. Is this vacuum under load? Also with the egr unhooked I pressed in the diaphram and it tried to die. Seems to be running a little worse...

    Looks like I can get an innova for under $200 but if im reading correctly only the 3120 or 3140 will work? Im looking at amazon as i have a prime account so if theres another/better for the money please let me know.

    Pronounced engine miss, suggestions?

    I replaced the MAP and IAC to no avail. Pulled off the valve cover on the passenger side and oil return were clogged with sludge. Cleaned them out and so far, no more blowing oil. All of the lifters except one I could wiggle just a hair. Not sure if thats normal. Also found these things: Ground...

    Thanks for the reply Nak. Seems like there is always someone trying to pawn off a wrecked FSC around here for cheap. Ive even seem dozens of decent miles pickups and tahoe/yuks get sold for $1k because they have R titles. And....it just so happens I just bought a K2500 for cheap that may, or may...
